Hey @ecla34 great question! I would suggest heading over to NITV https://www.sbs.com.au/nitv/ and SBS https://www.sbs.com.au/ for articles/shows/documentaries and conversations that can develop your understanding and also quiet educational  

Also head to your closet NAIDOC Week event if you've got time! https://www.naidoc.org.au/get-involved/naidoc-week-events 

Thanks so much and have a great time learning!

@ecla34 a new series just started on NITV called Blue Water Empire that is all about the Torres Strait Islands, their history and culture! Would recommend watching it

[polyphemus16]

Absolutely, lots of fantastic resources out there, including recent books on Indigenous culture by Larissa Behrendt and Marcia Langton. Creativespirits.info is a website run by a non-Indigenous person, but has a good overview of many issues and often links to further resources created by First Nations groups/individuals
