Language is not merely a means of communication, it is an important medium through which culture is carried. This activity utilises a range of map representations to engage students in thinking about the languages of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across Australia and the distinct physical and socio-cultural geographies to which they belong.

Download an A3 PDF of Reconciliation NSW’s Map of Aboriginal Nations/Languages in NSW & ACT
This map shows how NSW is made up of around 50 different Aboriginal nations, each with their own language or language group.
See the NSW Aboriginal Languages and Nations Map Puzzle on our Reconciliation NSW Merchandise webpage.
Many of these resources and activities have been developed in consultation with NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) to ensure that the program meets NSW curriculum outcomes for Stages 3, 4 & 5.
Reconciliation NSW aims to create a reconciled, just and equitable community for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians. We work to inform, support and inspire people to engage in reconciliation.
