Working with Terri Janke, Shevaun Wright and the Terri Janke and Company Pty Ltd team we will be putting out a Guide on the use of First Nations knowledges on Wikimedia platforms and on ethical engagement with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. https://wikimedia.org.au/wiki/Terri_Janke_and_Company_lead_phase_1_of_WMAU_ICIP_and_IDSov_project
