ARTIST'S NOTES
This particular map has been more than a year in the making and I have learned so much throughout the entire process. I have done my absolute best to include as many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages and dialects that are in use today and those that are classified as dormant. In this way I hope to showcase the diversity of the First Nations that make up Australia, and also acknowledge those that are no longer in use.
While doing the research for this map I discovered many resources and literature regarding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages, but on occasion these are at odds with what communities have to say. What ensued with a year long process of conversations with Aboriginal organisations and Traditional Owners, the community, much more research and a number of different renditions of the map before I felt like I had created something that was as accurate as I could make it.
I've done my best to cross reference each language with their corresponding Nation whenever possible, and have created the map in this way. I hope to have represented each Nation either by the languages they associate with historically, or the ones that they practice today. If I have got any of them in the wrong location I apologise and will update the map accordingly.
