AIATSIS Map of Indigenous Australia Supply

The map is an attempt to represent the language, tribal or nation groups of the Aboriginal peoples of Australia. Aboriginal groups were included on the map based on the published resources available between 1988 and 1994 which determine the cultural, language and trade boundaries and relationships between groups. The map was developed along with the Encyclopedia of Aboriginal Australia as part of a research project. The borders between groups are purposefully represented as slightly blurred. They do not claim to be exact and is not suitable for use in native title or other land claims.
