The Australian Museums and Galleries Association has launched a 10-year plan to transform the relationship between the sector and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

Written by leading Indigenous expert on Indigenous protocol Terri Janke, the First Peoples Roadmap follows two years of consultation between Indigenous communities, and museums and galleries around the country.

The First Peoples Roadmap will see the nation’s museums work hand-in-hand with Indigenous peoples in the representation of their cultures and communities in these institutions, and outline strategies for involving such communities in the ongoing stewardship of First Peoples’ collections.
