Creation of this website was through a project of the Hans Rausing Endangered Languages Project, with support from SOAS University of London, the NSW Department of Aboriginal Affairs, and the Darug Tribal Aboriginal Council.

Acknowledgements

This website is presented as a homage to the Sydney Aboriginal people’s knowledge, culture, and land in 1788–1791 — and still very much alive today. It is also presented in tribute to William Dawes’ skills and humanity.
