FIRST NATIONS RESOURCES HUB

Welcome to the First Nations Resources Hub, a dedicated platform for built environment professionals seeking to deepen their understanding and practice of culturally respectful and appropriate design for First Nations peoples.

 

About the Hub

Our goal is to empower you to create spaces and buildings that respect and celebrate the cultural significance of First Nations peoples.

This hub connects you to a diverse array of resources, including:

  • Educational materials: Gain insights into the rich cultural heritage and contemporary issues faced by First Nations communities
  • Architectural guidelines: Access best practices for designing spaces that honour and reflect First Nations cultures
  • Cultural protocols: Learn the important protocols to follow when engaging with First Nations communities

Statement to country

The Australian Institute of Architects acknowledges First Nations peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the lands, waters, and skies of the continent now called Australia.

We express our gratitude to their Elders and Knowledge Holders whose wisdom, actions and knowledge have kept culture alive.

We recognise First Nations peoples as the first architects and builders. We appreciate their continuing work on Country from pre-invasion times to contemporary First Nations architects, and respect their rights to continue to care for Country.
