- by an Australian Indigenous person, community or organisation about Australian Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander cultures, knowledges and experience
and/or - by an Australian Indigenous person or other author and contain a significant proportion of information of relevance to Australian Indigenous studies.
Our Selection Guidelines can be found here.
