Junior atlas of Indigenous Australia

general editors, Bill Arthur & Victoria Morgan

The Junior Atlas of Indigenous Australia is a tool for students in upper primary and early secondary years to explore and gain understanding of the lives and cultures of Australia's First Peoples. The Atlas visually represents patterns of human activities in space and time, from over 60,000 years ago to the present time. It covers an extensive range of topics, such as deep history, Indigenous mapping, material culture, cultural and religious life, art, sport, language, environment and Country, social justice, education and health and wellbeing. The 130 maps, which form the core of the book, are supplemented by explanatory text, photographs, artworks, illustrations, charts and graphs. Curriculum-based Teaching Notes are also available for download
