====== True Nations Map (Working Title) ======

**NB: There's already a project that does this, and includes other countries:**
  * **[[https://native-land.ca/|native-land.ca]]**

----

The idea is to create an 'overlay' for [[openstreetmap]] that would show the nations of [[Australia]].

I have no idea how to do this.

As best I can tell the boundaries on the maps are not, and are not able to be(?), perfectly accurate.\\
see: https://aiatsis.gov.au/aboriginal-studies-press/products/aiatsis-map-indigenous-australia

Considering that these borders change over time, it's not really possible to make an accurate map.

David R Horton is the author of the AIATSIS  map, the latest version is from 1996.
