AIATSIS conference presentation on place names

Written By First Languages Australia

Melinda Holden, Beau Williams and Carolyn Barker attended the 2022 AIATSIS Summit to present on our work to encourage the recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander place names.

The Summit was an excellent opportunity to speak with Indigenous land management authorities and government agencies about the need to improve current systems around promoting traditional names where that is the wish of the local custodians. First Languages Australia thank AIATSIS for supporting our attendance.
