Capturing Aboriginal Australia and its diversity on camera - BBC News
Aboriginal photographer Wayne Quilliam has been travelling across Australia for 30 years, documenting its hundreds of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander groups.
He shares people’s stories, he says, so others can better understand the diversity of Aboriginal cultures.
"I don't generally reflect on the negatives of what's happening in our communities because there are so many that do so," he says.
A warning for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers: This video contains images of people who may have died.

How Aboriginal Australians Made Australia
Didgeridoos, boomerangs, and an ancient hunter-gatherer lifestyle. These tend to be the first thing to come to mind when we imagine Indigenous Australians. Only with the arrival of Europeans was agriculture introduced. But new research and old documents may reveal the secrets of native Australian agriculture. So were the Aboriginals hunter-gatherers, did they take part in a secret whale-human alliance and did they managed “the largest estate on Earth”. Well, Let’s Find Out!

Do Aboriginal Australians value education on country?
Aboriginal communities really celebrated and valued education on country. We hope it will contribute to the debate on “Closing the GAP” for the many Aboriginal kids missing out in remote Australia.

Miriwoong: The Australian language barely anybody speaks - BBC News
European settlement wiped out half of Australia's indigenous languages, and around100 more are in serious danger of being lost.
Miriwoong is one of them. Spoken for tens of thousands of years in a part of Western Australia, the language has now just a handful of fluent speakers.
But there is a huge push to keep the miriwoong alive. So why is it so important?

Documentary "The Men of the Fifth World" | http://bit.ly/PlMen5World
The Men of the Fifth World is a documentary that shows us the history, culture and traditions of the Australian aborigines, primitive tribes who inhabit these lands.
The old Garimala Yakar, tells firsthand how their world is accompanied by the sound of the didgeridoo, the beat of their tradition, which keeps them together and attached to the land:
"In the Kakadu National Park lies Ubirrok, where the Rainbow Serpent stopped after creating the world and was painted on a rock so that people could see her. Over time our forefathers left on the rocks a complete collection of images which depict their way of life and their beliefs. They painted the animals they hunted or fished so the spirits would help them capture them. In this way we know to what extent these animals are the same ones as those we eat today: barramundi fish, long-necked tortoises, kangaroos, crocodiles, wallabies.
The paintings in some of the most inaccessible places were made by the "mimis", the lesser spirits which are the cause of everything that happens to us, good or bad. On these ancient rocks they also drew figures of the men of that time, warriors and hunters, who used the same spears and harpoons as we do now".

Please join us for the launch of Enlightened Aboriginal Futures by Professor Barry Judd, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Indigenous), University of Melbourne, and Associate Professor Katherine Ellinghaus, School of Archaeology and History, La Trobe University and the launch of Sandhill Girl by Lorna Wilson.
Sandhill Girl (LWBJKE Books, 2024), by Lorna Wilson, tells the story of Lorna's early life and the way it was changed by her interaction with Lutheran Missionary Pastor F.W. Albrecht. When Lorna was only 12 years old, she left her home in Central Australia to be fostered and educated. Sandhill Girl is the story of that journey.
Enlightened Aboriginal Futures examines the radical intervention of the German-Australian Lutheran missionary F. W. Albrecht in the education of Aboriginal children. Albrecht’s ideas about consent, freedom of choice and personal autonomy were expressed in schemes designed to educate and empower Aboriginal people and efforts to find Aboriginal futures through education, training and employment.
This book explores how Aboriginal people understood Albrecht’s work and the Enlightenment concepts on which it was based. In the context of an Anglo-Australian settler-colonialism that sought to systematically remove the freedom and autonomy of Indigenous people, this study demonstrates how those who participated in the Albrecht scheme were able to reconstruct themselves in ways that fused their own Aboriginal culture and identity with the ideas and values imported from an enlightened Germany.
Enlightened Aboriginal Futures will appeal to students and scholars of cultural history, colonialism, Lutheranism, race and ethnicity and Indigenous studies. It will also be illuminating reading to policymakers searching for a deeper understanding of colonial interventions in Indigenous communities.
