摘要：The historic preservation programs established in the Trust Territory of the Pacif ic Islands during the 1970s, which ev-olved into today's Micronesian national and state programs, were fundamentally structured to reflect and relate to tradi-tional Micronesian cultural values. These values, generalized to apply to both indigenous and other community interests, have come to influence the national historic preservation program in the United States, fostering a populist philosophy that helps keep historic preservation from being a completely elitist enterprise. This philosophy is under constant threat, and may not survive in the U.S., but there is no reason it should not continue to be fundamental to preservation practice in Micronesia
