Our Land, Our Stories has been created in partnership with the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS). AIATSIS is an independent government body based in Canberra, and is the custodian of a priceless collection of films, photographs, video and audio recordings, and the world’s largest collections of printed and other resource materials for Indigenous Australian studies.

The Teacher’s Resource Book is an essential tool that enables educators to broaden their understanding of Australian Indigenous languages, peoples, cultures and histories. Educators should refer to the Teacher’s Resource Book first to learn about the protocols associated with this material. The resource book contains discussion points, teaching strategies and pathways, learning activities, links to the Australian Curriculum and links to a vast array of online content.

The Little Red Yellow Black Book

Every Teacher’s Resource Book is packaged with a copy of The Little Red Yellow Black Book. Written by AIATSIS with Bruce Pascoe, The Little Red Yellow Black Book is the perfect companion for teachers to learn more about the rich cultures and histories of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
