- Summary:
-
"Map showing all the Aboriginal groups of Australia, with organisation into regions. The groups (not "tribes") are based on language, history, self-identification, culture, technology (the summation of all the research work in Australia up to that point), and are separated not by boundaries of hard lines, as in Tindale's Map, but by fuzzy colours created by blending the colours of two adjacent groups. The regions were created, uniquely, by working from the individual groups and establishing where there was a distinct change in culture, language, social organisation, technology, economy, religion, kinship etc. Also considered was which groups combined together in large seasonal gatherings (ie within a region) and which areas marked historical reports of warfare (ie between regions). The result is a unique set (the first derived from the individual groups up, not imposed from the top down) of 18 regions which can be related to regions based on individual features."--Abstract supplied by David Horton.
