The Indigenous Consultants Initiative

This website foregrounds the work of an emerging group of Indigenous consultants who are involved in collaborative research and consultancies through Charles Darwin University. Some of the consultants are members of various Yolŋu clan groups whose traditional lands are in Northeast Arnhemland – including Gälpu, Djambarrpuyŋu, Gupapuyŋu, Gumatj and Warramiri. Others are from Ngukurr, Darwin and other places.

The Indigenous consultancies

• cover a wide range of issues relevant to contemporary Indigenous life
• aim to professionalize Indigenous consultants within the nonIndigenous world
• pay attention to Indigenous perspectives, and Indigenous ways of making and doing knowledge
• look for ways of producing significant consultancy outcomes which make sense and are useful to both Indigenous and nonIndigenous
• allow for participants to think carefully about how meaning and agreement are made across cultures and can remain faithful to both Indigenous and nonIndigenous knowledge traditions
• are supported by the School of Australian Indigenous Knowledge Systems and the School of Education at Charles Darwin University
