Project Description
Many residents of Australia hear a "Welcome to Country" or "Acknowledgement of Country" at events, but do not understand its deep significance, or the importance of country to Indigenous Australians. Many people are unaware of just how many diverse Indigenous nations and peoples exist in Australia. We have designed a site combining Australian Open data such as native title and significant Indigenous locations with a new idea - community curated Acknowledgement of Country in languages other than English. We intend to extensively SEO the site to attract curious people searching for terms such as "acknoledgement of country", "aboriginal land" and LOTE terms. This will allow all Australians, no matter how recently arrived, to acknowledge the custodians of the land and understand and explore their connection to Country.
Data Story
We utilise a range of seed and data.gov.au geographic data along with OpenData from other sources such as https://native-land.ca/ and wikidata along with a newly generated community language dataset for acknowledgement of country. We provide feedback mechanisms on Australian data sources to allow indigenous citizens input into how and what is presented.

SEED - Open Data with a Purpose
We are seeking to challenge the status quo. Moving from open data as a bi-product of government business, to active management of open data to better support reuse and innovation – hence open data with a purpose. To achieve this we want to trigger a conversation between developers and the data custodians.
