Graduate Attributes - Indigenous Knowledges

SIS has a website dedicated to supporting the Graduate Attribute of ensuring ANU students are given “Insight into Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ knowledges and Indigenous peoples’ perspectives” through their ANU curriculum. 

The Indigenous Knowledges Hub brings together materials from across the Scholarly Information Services (SIS) Division, which encompasses the Library, Archives, Press, CartoGIS, and Open Research Repository.

These extraordinarily rich collections reflect many different aspects of Indigenous Australian’s history since white settlement. Our collections have grown over more than 75 years to include maps, audio visual material, theses, published works, unpublished manuscripts, records of businesses and trade unions that give insights into the knowledge and experiences of Indigenous Australians. 

Resources are either by Indigenous authors and creators; focused on Indigenous Australian approaches and perspectives; or about Indigenous Australian cultures, languages, or histories.

About the Indigenous Knowledges Hub

The hub is designed to support ANU teaching staff in identifying and using resources that will enable them to acknowledge and incorporate Indigenous perspectives and sources into their teaching. 

The hub is dynamic and will continue to have information and resources added. We welcome your suggestions about resources we should add and how we can improve the site to ensure it is a valuable resource. 

What’s in the hub? 

Resources on the hub include: 

  • video introductions to key collections from the Library, Archives, Press, Open Research and CartoGIS 
  • curated collections of materials 
  • guides to resources created by subject specialists from the Library and Archives 
  • links to key collections that are relevant to understanding Indigenous perspectives and experiences.

"Congratulations to staff from Scholarly Information Services for developing a guide to assist the community to access the many treasures that will support implementation of our graduate attribute Insight into Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples’ Knowledges and Indigenous Peoples’ Perspectives. Their dedication to working with the whole community to increase knowledge and capabilities is an extremely important contribution to the evolution of indigenous knowledge in education in the university."
