The artisanal and heritage industries encompassing traditional crafts like wood carving, weaving, {{wp|Tā moko}} (native tattoos), and jewelry making, as well as cultural performances such as music, dance, storytelling, and authentic Iti cuisine. These industries provide livelihoods for approximately 5,000 Iti people, roughly 10% of the island's workforce. They are valued at $20 million in annual exports. These practices are deeply intertwined with Iti culture, serving as a tangible expression of the island's history, traditions, and spiritual beliefs. By preserving and promoting these industries, the [[Government of Burgundie]] has safeguarded the cultural heritage of the Iti people in a mutually beneficial way. The Sudmolloise government recognizes the importance of these sectors and has since the end of the [[Second Great War]] implemented initiatives like financial assistance programs, cultural centers, and festivals to support their growth and development, ensuring a sustainable future for both the Iti people and the island's unique heritage which has been a huge driver for the tourism industry. | File:Hon_Nanaia_Mahuta.jpg|{{wp|Tā moko}}, Iti tattooing | ||
