• A New Perspective on Aboriginal Culture: Dark Emu. Black Seeds: Agriculture or accident? by Bruce Pascoe. 2014. Magabala Books

  The back cover of this book states: Bruce Pascoe puts forward a compelling argument for a reconsideration of the hunter-gatherer label for pre-colonial Aboriginal Australians. The evidence insists that Aboriginal people right across the continent were using domestic plants, sowing, harvesting, irrigating and storing - behaviours inconsistent with the hunter-gatherer tag.

The United Nations General Assembly has declared 2019 the International Year of Indigenous Languages (IY2019) to raise awareness of the crucial role languages play in people’s daily lives.https://www.arts.gov.au/what-we-do/indigenous-arts-and-languages/2019-international-year-indigenous-languages

Queensland has more than 100 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages, many of which are now considered endangered, and the Queensland Government is working with representatives of the Queensland Indigenous Languages Committee to progress a dedicated Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander language policy.  The policy is to be in place in the first half of this year.
