Kaartdijin in Noongar means 'knowledge'. Noongar people have resided in the south-west of Western Australia for more than 45,000 years. The aim of the Kaartdijin website is to share the richness of our knowledge, culture and history in order to strengthen our community and promote wider understanding.
Before teaching Aboriginal history or culture, teachers should consult with their local Aboriginal community. This excellent website, produced by the South West Aboriginal Land and Sea Council, contains a range of resources and information relating to the Noongar community. Noongar country covers the entire south-western portion of Western Australia. The website features protocols and policies, maps and information about Noongar culture and history.
