Oral Traditions and First Peoples’ Knowledge

Oral Traditions and First Peoples’ Knowledge

The University of Divinity wishes to show respect and honour for the valuable oral traditions and spirituality of First Peoples in Australia and overseas, and for their contribution to research and scholarship within the University and beyond. When referencing oral communications with permission from First Peoples, pay close attention to naming conventions, which may differ between communities and traditions. Check the appropriate approach with your supervisor or course coordinator.

First People’s Research and Referencing Resources

Useful resources include the CAVAL Indigenous Knowledges Citation Guide and the AIATSIS Code of Ethics for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Research.
