The Australia Council for the Arts is supporting two delegations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists to North America next week to share Indigenous stories, build networks and showcase their work to international audiences.

’Having, for the first time ever, more than 1000 Indigenous land use agreements on our Register is strong evidence of proponents and native title parties successfully negotiating about matters in relation to native title and that this is now part of doing ordinary business in Australia’, said National Native Title Tribunal President, Raelene Webb QC.

The Australian Government today announces $11.9 million for 2015-16 to support work to revive and maintain Australia’s Indigenous languages.

The Minister for Indigenous Affairs, Nigel Scullion, has paid tribute to Mr J. N. Gumbula, who passed away on August 19 on Elcho Island in northeast Arnhem Land.
