Abstract

The continent nominated by Westerners “Terra Australis Incognita” was land occupied for tens of thousands of years; home to peoples whose surviving descendants, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, could claim to have sustained the world's oldest culture. The colonists occupying the territory, however, declared it “terra nullius,” a land with no recognized claim. The colonial attitude to Indigenous culture was similar, treating it as “Intellectual nullius.” From the colonial occupation to the 1980s became the “Dark Ages for Indigenous Knowledge,” in which the trans-generational capability, engaged in Western knowledge, was rare. In this chapter, this history is revisited on a path to current contributions of the Black Academy to higher education. These are advanced here as: an Indigenous perspective; an oppositional approach; integrative Indigenous knowledge; contemporary Indigenous knowledge; and pure Indigenous knowledge. Reflecting on the research paradigm involved, emerging contributions of the Black Academy represent a supercomplex renaissance.
