Consumer Brochure

A primary function of the ANKAAA charter is to protect the rights of artists and promote ethical business practice in the Indigenous art industry. The Consumer Guide is a joint initiative between ANKAAA & the Arts NT Indigenous Arts Development Unit with other key stake holders including Desart, ArtsMARK, Arts Law and Copyright Council of Australia. The brochure is aimed at informing consumers about the ethical purchase of Indigenous art and will be distributed through art centres, art galleries, tourist centres, back packers, hotels and art organisations.

The publication is a result of wide-ranging consultation with artists, art centres, galleries, consumer affairs, legal and industry representatives. Publication of the Consumer Guide was generously supported by the Northern Territory Government through Arts NT.

David R Horton is the creator of the Indigenous Language Map. This map is based on language data gathered by Aboriginal Studies Press, AIATSIS and Auslig/Sinclair, Knight, Merz, (1996). The map attempts to represent all of the language or tribal or nation groups of Indigenous people of Australia.

The Indigenous Language Map is just one representation of other map sources that are available for describing Aboriginal Australia. This map indicates only the general location of larger groupings of people which may include smaller groups such as clans, dialects or individual languages in a group. Boundaries are not intended to be exact. For more information about the groups of people in a particular region contact the relevant Land Councils.

Language resource links provided by Aboriginal Languages of Australia Virtual Library, Wangka Maya Pilbara Aboriginal Language Centre & Victorian Aboriginal Corporation for Languages. Alternative spellings of language group names have been provided where possible.
