Acknowledgement of country

Batchelor Institute would like to acknowledge and pay respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander sovereign people of the lands on which our campuses are located. As we share our knowledge, teaching and learning and engage in research practices within this Institution and/or conduct business with a variety of external agencies and organisations, we must always pay respect to the sovereign status of our hosts. May their Ancestors always be remembered and honoured, their Elders listened to and respected, all members treated with dignity and fairness — in the present and well into the future.

We also acknowledge and pay respect to the knowledge embedded forever with our hosts, custodianship of country and the binding relationship they have with the land. Batchelor Institute extends this acknowledgment and expression of respect to all sovereign custodians — past, present and emerging. By expressing Acknowledgement of Country we encourage all to extend and practice respect to all First Nations people wherever their lands are located.

Batchelor Press Titles Selected for National Distribution

Spreading the word

Batchelor Press has again made selection for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF)’s annual Book Supply program to be rolled out from early 2027. Publishers are invited to nominate titles for selection with the final list to be distributed to remote and very remote communities Australia-wide. The list prioritises titles written and/or illustrated by Indigenous creators who accounted for 65% of ILF’s 2026 Book Supply program. 

Two Batchelor Press titles have been selected for the program: Kati Thanda, Stories & Reflections, and Karri-ni kun-red kadberre man-djewk na-kudji (A Year in My Country). Published earlier this year, Kati Thanda was the focus of our website story Desert pioneer in print: https://www.batchelor.edu.au/news/desert-pioneer-in-print/ The book is a collection of autobiographical and mythological stories from Alice Springs-based Arabana elder Apwertantyenha Syd Strangways with illustrations by Arabana artist Kathy Arbon. Karri-ni ... (2020) is a title in the Kuninjku language from Central/Western Arnhem Land which describes the cycle of Top End seasons and related hunting and cultural activities. Charlie Nanguwerr and Margot Gurrawiliwili provide the Kuninjku translations and the book is richly illustrated by Jennifer Taylor.  

Batchelor Press is grateful to partner with ILF and to have its work valued and so widely promoted through such a great initiative as the ILF Book Supply program.
