First Nations Resources

This page is a draft, and its contents have not been formally endorsed by the Wikimedia Australia committee and are subject to change without notice.

This is a draft page collecting resources around writing about First Nations people in Australia.

Need to add: a page to help non-Indigenous editors to create / edit pages or a way for them to check and ask questions.

Once reviewed, the following could be proposed for inclusion in the Wikipedia Style Guide for First Nations groups around the world.

See also this previous attempt to include similar guides in another proposal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Identity_(failed_proposal)#Indigenous_peoples
