The following publications have been consulted and/or used as a reference during the preparation of these pages. Much of this material has been published in recent years, the initial research and the publishing of the findings having been initiated and sanctioned by Aboriginal communities. Please also note that in many instances the publishers themselves are Aboriginal communities and organisations.

The author of these pages is therefore not in breach of the proposed Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP) policy recently adopted by ATSIC.
