Description

The AIATSIS Indigenous Australia Map A1 is produced by the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies to help better understand the geographical parameters of traditional country.
Traditionally, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australia is made up of many different and distinct groups, each with their own culture, customs, language and laws.
The AIATSIS map serves as a visual reminder of the richness and diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australia.
It was created in 1996 as part of the Encyclopaedia of Aboriginal Australia project and attempts to show language, social or nation groups based on published sources available up to 1994.
The map shows only the general locations of larger groups of people which may include smaller groups.
