The research aims were successfully achieved in developing and implementing suitable Indigenous frameworks for preservation, interpretation and dissemination of recordings of ceremonial performances in the Wagait-Daly region of the Northern Territory of Australia. The body of recordings of ceremonies performed, are now preserved in Pacific And Regional Archive for Digital Sources in Endangered Cultures (PARADISEC). The archived collection integrates Indigenous knowledge from many different domains, a socially powerful site of exchange, transmission and transformation of relationship to country, kin and identity. This extension empowers and benefits future generations of Indigenous people’s identity and Australia’s shared history.
