Another indigenous film maker discussing the creative process and how it links in with his indigenous culture 

There seems to be some great resources here.   "The AIATSIS Online Collections consist of items from our published print collections which have been digitised and archived to provide online access to our clients. These pages may serve as research or study guides for students and others with an interest in Indigenous Australia. Reading lists are other resources are provided for further research. They are arranged by subject area. Click on the thumbnail images to enter."

A great organisation, lots of amazing work going on, also a great website for older grades to explore and gain their own insight into Indigenous literacy and issues and the challenges they present for our nation.

A massive list of resources from the Australian Museum 

This a fantastic site. Interactive, click on the floating links to hear interactive stories told in English as well as indigenous languages. 

Scootle has some great things on Indigenous studies if you are interested.

Hetti Perkins, senior curator of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, shares her knowledge of - and passion for - Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art. As we criss-cross the land with her, meeting artists remote, rural and urban, she shares her insights and feelings about them and their extraordinary art. She encourages the artists to tell the stories behind their artworks. Her journey enhances our knowledge and appreciation of Aboriginal art, encourages us to see the world from an Aboriginal perspective and, ultimately, gives us a richer understanding of Aboriginal culture.

Some great resources looking at Aboriginal Culture and art. 

Richard Frankland discusses Film making. There are a lot more resources here as well. Just need to look around. 

John Carty discusses what an anthropologist does. Isn't this what we want our student to do? To become historians and or anthropologists and inquire into the cultural aspects of the first Australians.

Wow!! "This Aboriginal pedagogy framework is expressed as eight interconnected pedagogies involving narrative-driven learning, visualised learning processes, hands-on/reflective techniques, use of symbols/metaphors, land-based learning, indirect/synergistic logic, modelled/scaffolded genre mastery, and connectedness to community. But these can change in different settings."

This is a brilliant resource. Some of these stories would make launch lessons. Could include some "Making Thinking Visible Routines" for some powerful learning. Dust Echoes is a series of twelve beautifully animated dreamtime stories from Central Arnhem Land, telling stories of love, loyalty, duty to country and aboriginal custom and law.  Includes study guides. 

These guys focus on preservation of culture in remote communities. Totally awesome.
