Guideline for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples terminology Be conscious of the unique, diverse and distinct identities of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and understand the use of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is as a collective name. Collective names used to describe Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples:
Although "Indigenous Australians" is in common use, and is used to encompass both Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islander people, many First Nations Australians feel the term diminishes their identity and should be avoided; however, where the word "Indigenous" forms part of an acronym to describe entities, organisations, or government departments the use is acceptable. When used, the words Indigenous, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, First Nations, First Peoples, and First Australians are capitalised. Note: Never use the collective name "Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander" peoples as it misrepresents the identity of Torres Strait Islander peoples as not being the original inhabitants of islands in the Torres Strait. Self-identifying terms:
This is not an exhaustive list Language that can be discriminatory or offensive and should be avoided:
This is not an exhaustive list Note: It is acceptable to use abbreviations in your communications when they form part of an acronym, a web address or an organisation (e.g. AIATSIS, NAIDOC, www.atsi.org.au). Using an acronym or abbreviation to describe a race of people can be offensive and discriminatory. For further information, please refer to: Terminology can change over time and, where possible, it is best practice to find out what the preferred term is from the respective Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander group or individual you are referring to.

Indigenous pre-history: Early Contact: (Early economy)(Culture Share)
editSurely an article as extensive as this would have a section about pre-European arrival? Bro The Man (talk) 08:19, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
- The article is already too long and needs cutting back. There is a sentence on Macassan fishermen in the lead, but if you want to add a well-sourced section on this, the best place would be the article on the Prehistory of Australia which is currently full off unsourced junk and fringe theories.

- ??? Do you mean the best place to start putting something together and source it well before putting it here in History of Australia?
- Otherwise, dismissing 300 years is a bit much. Bro The Man (talk) 11:38, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
- That's right. Whatever goes here should be no more than a couple of lines at most. If you can think of something to cut to make room for it, all the better. Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 03:45, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
