Purpose

The Indigenous Australians categories help page outlines the categories specific to Indigenous Australians and also describes other categories under Australia which may have significance for Indigenous Australians.

Specific Indigenous Categories

Top Level Category
A search on WikiTree+ of ‘Indigenous Australians’ under the Text search field will generate the full list of profiles with the Indigenous Australians Sticker.

These are the Indigenous Language, Tribe or Nation Groups as outlined in The AIATSIS Indigenous map of Australia

  2. The relevant Language or Nation is 'as identified' by the person whose profile is being represented, or for early profiles, the land where the person was born.

  4. For unknown Nation / Language use: [[Category:Unknown Nation]]
