Cultural Advice

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should be aware that this website contains names, images, and voices of deceased persons.

In addition, some articles contain terms or views that were acceptable within mainstream Australian culture in the period in which they were written, but may no longer be considered appropriate.

These articles do not necessarily reflect the views of The Australian National University.

Older articles are being reviewed with a view to bringing them into line with contemporary values but the original text will remain available for historical context.

Indigenous Australia welcomes and will respond to constructive comments, questions and suggestions.

We do not have the resources, however, to answer family history questions or value artefacts.
We also do not have contact details for authors of books described in Indigenous Australia.

While we are happy to correct errors of fact in entries, we do not add extra information.
