ADVERTISING


We are currently assisting the NSW RTA to develop an educational advertising campaign targeting Aboriginal people, on new laws regarding child safety seats. We used only Indigenous artists and graphic designers for this campaign as the talent is out there in Indigenous communities and Indigneous artists already understand this target market. Its just a matter of tapping into that extraordinary talent.

WHY KOORI COMMUNICATIONS?

We would like to see more positive images of Koori people in the papers. We have set up Koori Communications to empower Koori people to be able to represent their needs and point of view in the media and anywhere else it needs to be heard.


WHY USE THE WORD KOORI VS ABORIGINAL?

 

Many Aborigines dislike the terms 'Aborigine' since this term was foisted on them by the English, who used the expression aborigine deriving from the Latin, meaning original inhabitants. English colonists also used Latin to characterise the legal status of the country as terra nullius, literally, the land of no one... Not surprisingly, the original inhabitants preferred to use a word from their own local language. Some languages of south-east Australia had a word- coorie, kory, kuri, kooli - which meant person or people. In the 1960s koori came to be used by Aborigines of these areas as a means of identifi cation. But because of the wide variety of Aboriginal languages and cultures, koori has not gained Australia-wide acceptance, being confined to most of New South Wales and to Victoria.
