Place Names References

This Bibliography is a collection of resources and references that have informed CAN's Place Names project process and community outcomes.

It is not exhaustive but intended as an acknowledgement of the Aboriginal knowledge holders, storytellers and writers who have led the way.

Under the direction of Moodjar Consultancy, CAN has referenced resources in this list that acknowledge and cite the Elder who has spoken or shared their knowledge or story as best practice.

In addition, there are key references to works by colonialists that are considered core texts for Noongar place names.

We aim to grow this reference list as a means of expanding access to a variety of Noongar and Aboriginal written work.
