The NSW Indigenous History Fellowship is offered biennially by the Government to assist a person living in New South Wales to research and produce a work on a subject of historical interest relating to New South Wales from an Aboriginal point of view.

2010 NSW Indigenous History Fellowship

The 2010 NSW Indigenous History Fellowship has been awarded to Robert Evitt. Robert will be working closely with Elders from various communities both here in New South Wales and in Cape York, to record Traditional Ecological Knowledge regarding the Aboriginal use of fire using video cameras and digital voice recorders. This knowledge will then be stored on the Traditional Knowledge Revival Pathways database, and remains the intellectual property of the Elders. The idea is to preserve this knowledge so that it can be passed on to future generations.
