Abstract

There is a lack of authoritative websites representing coastal Indigenous stories and cultures. A website can illustrate an Indigenous culture's long, ongoing and dynamic relationship to the coast and provide many learning opportunities for our current society.It can thus help ‘close the gap’ in terms of cultural representation of the coast.The website can include Indigenous yarns, artworks and other images, timelines and maps with Indigenous names of coastal places, plants and animals. Information can be drawn from published literature, archival records and oral interviews.The website can be a resource for use by schools, universities, museums, government sectors, private sectors and community groups involved in the study of local Indigenous maritime heritage. Coastal carers and managers will be able to use the website to better understand the significance of coastal ecosystems to Indigenous folks.Other target audiences are likely to include: the broad community, the Indigenous community, NRM groups and planners.
