Tindale's Ethnographic Map

Tindale's Ethnographic Map is a detailed chart created by anthropologist Norman Tindale, depicting the traditional lands and boundaries of Aboriginal Australian groups. It illustrates how different tribes occupied specific regions across Australia, based on extensive fieldwork and historical records. This map helps understand the territorial organization and cultural divisions among Aboriginal peoples before European colonization. It’s a valuable tool for recognizing the diversity and richness of Aboriginal cultures and their connection to the land, emphasizing that each group had its own distinct territory, language, and traditions.
