teach-ec This theme area introduces appropriate curriculum and pedagogy for teaching Indigenous children and demonstrates how Indigenous teaching and learning practices can be of benefit to all education participants. Resources found here present knowledge and appreciation of the importance and implications of full consultation with local Indigenous communities within these settings. Resources developed in community by community featuring ‘two-ways together’ and ‘both ways learning’ are explored. Further, the important concept of ‘Kinship’ and the understanding from a non–Indigenous perspective of this integral element of Indigenous life is explored by Auntie Patricia Doolan, President Aboriginal Education Consultative Group, Dubbo Region, NSW.

Koori Mail - Breaking News Aboriginal educational contexts :: Aboriginal Educational Contexts IKRMNA - making collective memory with computers IKRMNA was a three year 2003-2006 ARC Linkage Project to support and develop Indigenous databases that maintain and enhance the strength of local languages, cultures and environments in Northern Australia. The project was coordinated through the School of Australian Indigenous Knowledge Systems at Charles Darwin University. Seasonal calendars | TRaCK: Tropical Rivers and Coastal Knowledge In the first study of its kind in Australia, TRaCK researchers worked closely with Indigenous communities in the Northern Territory and Western Australia to understand their values and record their knowledge of freshwater ecosystems. Indigenous knowledge can tell us much about the ecology of Australia and yet historically this is an area that has been poorly documented. At a time of increasing awareness of water’s value across Australia, it is vital that public debate, policy and management decisions about tropical rivers and estuaries are well informed. In northern Australia, the size of the Indigenous population, its land holdings and attachment to customary estates, signifies a great need for water planning to identify and address Indigenous interests and values in water. National water policy requires that water plans account for Indigenous water requirements. It is hoped these calendars will be an educational tool for future generations:
