The Torres Straight Islanders have created a database of language, culture, stories, resources. This site provides an amazing amount of interesting pages to surf through. I am amazed by the amount of material on this site promoting language and culture.
“The Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS) is the world’s premier institution for information and research about the cultures and lifestyles of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
The Institute undertakes and encourages scholarly, ethical community-based research, holds a priceless collection of films, photographs, video and audio recordings and the world’s largest collections of printed and other resource materials for Indigenous Studies, and has its own publishing house.”
