An Acknowledgement of Traditional Knowledge and its continuing influence on governmental policies and Australia's Indigenous people yearning for shared dialogue, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). I am a Filipino-born Australian with an ancestral link to Indigenous Americas-Mexico. I work and reside in two First Nations countries in South Australia. Overall, this article respectfully articulates, translates, synthesis and disseminates information from the supplementary article. Contextually, it is great to see that David Turnbull has openly acknowledged the source of information and appreciates the transparency of its content and the author's desire to entrench ethical protocols throughout the process. Turnbull highlighted Wilcock's model of four aspects of the occupation, which emphasized 'doing', 'being, 'becoming' and 'belonging', and that's what 'The Uluru Statement from the Heart' is all about-it represents the voices of Knowledge Keepers and weaving the Stories, the Law and the connection between language, culture, and the land which are fundamentally crucial to Indigenous identity and ways of knowing, reflecting Wilcock's model to emphasise the need to work together, address Australian colonial history at the grassroots level, and fully understand the continuing legacy of trauma affecting Indigenous people. One lesson from this article is that, as non-Indigenous researchers, we must interpret oral wisdom within a cultural context and always create space for shared dialogue when involving Indigenous people, particularly in academic research. Moreover, transparency is essential in executing diversity, equity, inclusion, and reciprocal learning, repaired by Mary Graham as a custodial ethic of 'caring for country'. Nevertheless, 'The Uluru Statement from the Heart' can shine as a starting point for Australia's voice of nationhood by empowering Indigenous voices, taking a rightful place in Australia's politics, and paving a shared constitutional plebiscite guiding our future knowledge keepers to flourish in a volatile society.

Research suggests that storytelling is at the heart of social and personal identity whether the story relates to our daily activities or whichever other stories the elders choose to share to others. This paper seeks to share the story of the outcome of creative activities involving a specific Indigenous community in South Australia. This paper imparts on the importance of Indigenous people’s stories to the current discourse about the role of elders in facilitating and generating interaction among people through creative activities. Audio recording and Photovoice have been employed as methods of collecting information. Use of these methods creates a collaborative structure of research that is culturally appropriate in capturing live experiences of knowledge sharing. Initial results show that Indigenous knowledge sharing through creative activities...

This paper reports the first stage of an ongoing information behaviour research project undertaken with a rural Indigenous community in South Australia. Method. Twenty-one Ngarrindjeri volunteers participated in the field study. Permission was granted and extensive community consultations were conducted. Analysis. Questionnaires and interview transcriptions were analysed using the open coding method. Results. Ngarrindjeri people’s everyday information needs included the gathering of information on weather, jobs, entertainment, culture, education, and health services. The Internet (37.6%) was the most frequently used source of information where participants obtained information from social media, specialised Websites and search engines. However, non-Internet resources accounted for 62.4% of overall information sources and these included local sources such as families and relatives, Elders, and local TV channels. Ngarrindjeri participants were distressed by a lack of com...

We present the preliminary results of the research undertaken with Ngarrindjeri people living from the Lower Murray River Lakes and the Coorong areas in South Australia, and then review the implications of these findings for designing interventions. Twenty-one Ngarrindjeri volunteers participated in the questionnaires, interviews and field observation. The results show that, following family members, the Internet was considered to be the second most important source for obtaining various sorts of information. Though having types of hesitation and cultural cautions, the indigenous participants embraced the Internet and online resources with great enthusiasm. The findings suggest that it is critical to adapt Internet technology to incorporate indigenous cultures including ...
