2014 年 5 月 13 日，本中心在纽约主办了土著问题常设论坛第十三届会议的会外活动“保护和恢复圣地”，联合国教育、科学及文化组织（教科文组织）的任务成为这次活动的一部分侧重点，即协助土著人民确保安全进入圣地举行仪式并采取具体措施保护仪式文物。
The Wittenberg Center sponsored the 13th UNPFII side event “Protecting and Restoring Sacred Sites”, 13 May 2014, New York, which focused partially on the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization’s (UNESCO) mandate to assist Indigenous Peoples in securing safe accessibility to sacred sites for ceremonial use and specific measures to protect ceremonial artefacts.
