Barani is an Aboriginal word of the Eora, the original inhabitants of the place where Sydney City now stands. It means - yesterday. The name Barani reminds us that there has been a continued presence and the history of the Indigenous citizens of Warran - Sydney is as new as yesterday. This interactive web based searchable resource links you to a thematic introduction to Sydney's Indigenous history. Biographies, useful contacts and references to books, films, images and websites are included plus information on current Indigenous cultural events in the city, conferences, and the latest additions to the database. Themes covered are - People and places - First contact - Government policy - Imagining the people - Indigenous organisations in Sydney - Significant events in Sydney - Significant people in Sydney - Involvement with the church - Western science and people - Arts and culture - Labour in the city. The site can be searched or browsed via - Persons - Themes - Organisations - or Sources. A glossary is also included divided into three sections - Sydney places - refers to places around Sydney Harbour via an interactive map - Aboriginal words - for some common nouns - and Acronyms - which decodes the abbreviations used for many Aboriginal organisations' names. A timeline provides a quick overview of landmark events that have impacted upon or are significant to Aboriginal peoples in Sydney post white invasion.
