| Summary |
The Junior Atlas of Indigenous Australia is a tool for students in upper primary and early secondary years to explore and gain understanding of the lives and cultures of Australia's First Peoples.

It covers an extensive range of topics, such as deep history, Indigenous mapping, material culture, cultural and religious life, art, sport, language, environment and Country, social justice, education and health and wellbeing. The 130 maps, which form the core of the book, are supplemented by explanatory text, photographs, artworks, illustrations, charts and graphs.
