Cultural Centre
AIATSIS — Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies
Canberra District, ACT
The Story
The building is called Maraga — a Ngunnawal word for a strong and robust shield — and the name sets the tone. Inside, over a million items: photographs, film, audio recordings, manuscripts, the A.M. Fernando notebooks, Alice Moyle's musical fieldwork, decades of *Identity* magazine. Australia's only national institution focused exclusively on First Peoples' history and culture, Indigenous-led and operating on Ngunnawal Country in Acton.
