摘要：The 2009 National Indigenous Studies Conference was held from 29 September to 1 October at the ANU, on the theme 'Perspectives on Urban Life: Connections and reconnections', with tours and workshops on the pre- and proceedings days. The conference attracted about 540 delegates, with representation from more than 160 organisations. International speakers travelled from Canada and New Zealand, providing an opportunity to learn about similar issues for urban-based Indigenous people in these countries. More than 220 speakers presented on a variety of themes, including: Health; Housing; Identity; Education; Culture and Heritage; Language; Community Partnerships; Representation and Cultural Expression; Demography; and Urban Histories. The number and quality of the presentations contributed to the success of the conference, as did the varied non-academic program, such as the ACT premier of Rachel Perkins' much anticipated new film Bran Nue Dae. Increasing the accessibility of the conference, the AIATSIS website will house audio and video recordings, as well as the PowerPoint presentations, for most of the presentations. Publications from the conference are planned for 2010/11.
