Native Land Digital

Interactive mapping project covering the globe, showing Indigenous nations with a global address search that enables you to check the Indigenous country. Produced in Canada by Indigenous-led Native Land Digital.

The map includes a disclaimer 'This map does not represent or intend to represent official or legal boundaries of any Indigenous nations. To learn about definitive boundaries, contact the nations in question.'

Other peoples’ stories

Wiradjuri writer, teacher and academic Jeanine Leane ponders questions of representation and who had the right to tell another person's story.

'if non-Indigenous people are still only encountering Indigenous people via the works of non-Indigenous writers/historians/filmmakers/artists, then are they really encountering us at all?'

Perth's Portside Review

Portside Review is an international literary journal publishing essays, short stories, and poetry for and from the regions bordering the Indian Ocean. Its principles include:
* Locating your own centre - to liberate from prize and market culture and emphasise community definitions of 'good' writing and art
* Foregrounding cultural and ethnic identity - beyond national borders
* Artist support & pay parity - no matter where an artist is located or how difficult the times

Korin Gamadji Institute, the Sovereignty exhibition and contemporary Indigenous youth culture

This is a discussion between young First Nations participants in workshops by the Victorian Digital Storytelling Project, which eventually culminated in an exhibition outcome at the Sovereignty show at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art. The writers reflect on Indigenous inclusion into non-Indigenous institutions like ACCA, and the constraints these spaces - consciously or not - impose on First Nations speaking about their art, culture, and history.
