Indigenous Content

Australian Teacher supports the ‘Keepers of the Earth’ initiative of Indigenous Peoples Worldwide, aimed at ensuring that the unique indigenous cultures from which time-honoured traditional knowledge stems are safeguarded for generations to come.

One of the aims of this website is to educate young Australians in the ways of our indigenous people. Accordingly we want to present students with indigenous art, stories from the Dreaming, aboriginal languages, etc.

The authors of this site are aware of sensitivities that surround aboriginal customs and have acted with due diligence in collecting material for teachers and students to use in Australian classrooms.

We are indebted to staff at the Australian Museum in Canberra (both the Curatorial and Copyright departments), and to Martin Wardrop (Aboriginal Art Online) for their invaluable information, advice and guidance. Particular thanks are afforded to the following persons and organisations: Jilan Shah of the Creative Native -stockist of aboriginal art and other artifacts in Perth- who has allowed samples of the Creative Native’s Indigenous artwork to be used on this website; this artwork is available here for educative purposes only and may be freely discussed but not reproduced; Cecilia Alfonso of Warlukurlangu Artists Aboriginal Corporation who has allowed us to use images and stories from the Warlu website; Caroline Friend of the Rainbow Serpent for use of text and images; Milanka J. Sullivan of Artspeak (text and images); and Jane Resture (Jane’s Oceania) for granting us permission to use text and images from her several Indigenous websites.

If you would like to discuss our use of Indigenous art, languages, Dreaming stories and/or other material, please contact us at info@australianteacher.org.
