WARNING: Visitors should be aware that this website includes
images and names of deceased people that may cause sadness or
distress to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The
Goree newsletter looks at the activities and achievements of the
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Program (ATSIP) and all
the programs across the National Museum of Australia that engage
with Indigenous peoples and their material culture. Goree means
Bogong moth. The name was chosen because it relates to the
history of Acton, in Canberra where the Museum is located. Both
the Acton site and the goree are significant to the Ngambri of
Canberra. 'Goree' is a Walgalu language word from the Ngambri
nation. The Museum would like to thank Paul House for suggesting
the name for this publication and the local communities of
Canberra for their continued support and engagement with the
Museum. Goree is a bi-annual newsletter. Read the current issue.
