This case study examines the Witness Blanket VR Experience to explore how Indigenous‑led immersive audio production can support the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage in virtual environments. Grounded in Indigenous epistemologies of listening, the study draws on participatory sound collection, documentation of the audio production workflow, and subjective evaluation through community‑engaged events. Results demonstrate how spatial audio and culturally grounded production protocols can enable relational storytelling, ethical engagement, and protocol‑informed VR design.
