Volume 6

Volume 6 of Issues presents a compelling set of essays that delve into various facets of First Nations knowledge and scholarship in Australia. This multilingual volume, written in Mandarin, Vietnamese, Arabic, and English, features contributions from Indigenous scholars and practitioners who bring distinct perspectives on Indigenous identity, culture, health, and historical trauma. The essays have not been translated into the aligning Aboriginal languages of the authors due to the direct impacts of past and current Australian Government policies that have maligned the transmission of Indigenous languages in the country now known as Australia. The contributors are — Michelle Locke, Sarah Kennedy, Gawaian Bodkin-Andrews, Shannon Foster, Aunty Frances Bodkin, Uncle John Foster, Uncle Gavin Andrews, Aunty Karen Adams, Jodi Stephenson, Peter Fryer, Brooke Fryer, Maripa Teo, Uncle Eddie Burge, and Bronwyn Carlson.
