Educational Services
We supply many options for you to get to

Academic Works.
Tasmanian Aboriginal culture is normally written from a non-aboriginal
archaeological / anthropological perspective. We offer a Tasmanian
Aboriginal view of our history from a historical / geographical perspective.

Guest Speakers
As our teaching has always been oral, we have elders, Historians, and
Storytellers who visit schools, colleges, universities, groups, conferences,
and organisations to share our culture. If you are teaching Aboriginal
Studies, we can supply a speaker to suit your needs.

at a site helps understand their culture.
