Introduction
Cultural Sensitivity Advisory Notice
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are advised that this collection contains extensive content relating to indigenous communities, compiled during research activities conducted by a non-indigenous person. This material includes names and images of people who may now be deceased. It may also contain language, terms and descriptions that reflect the time in which they were written and may not be considered appropriate today. This collection includes views and opinions regarding indigenous communities that reflect individual opinion. These views and opinions may not be shared by those communities.
Scope and Contents
MS 9154 comprises a Native Title application and a copy of Ann's thesis: The Death and Resurrection of the Ngunnawal; a living history.
The Acc99.076 instalment comprises papers from Ann's time in Japan. This includes published articles, photographs and photograph albums, magazines, booklets, notebooks, research material, drafts, and personal papers.
The Acc00.138 instalment comprises papers relating to 'From the Cradle … a history of the early childhood association' and legal documents relating to copyright.
The Acc07.152 instalment comprises correspondence, research material, media clippings and publications relating to Indigenous history and issues. This addition also includes a copy of Jackson-Nakano's book Ngambri ancestral names: for geographical places and features in the Australian Capital Territory and surrounds.
The Acc08.116 instalment includes correspondence, research material, publications relating to indigenous history and issues, and speeches for Matilda House.
The Acc08.145 instalment comprises research material on Ngunnawal family histories and sources in relation to the Ngambri (Kamberri), Pajong and Wallabalooa communities. There is also correspondence, copies of birth, death and marriage records, articles and notes.
The Acc09.153 instalment comprises research notes, publications, press clippings, ephemera and correspondence relating to the Ngambri people, and to Pajong and Wallabalooa families at Pudman and Blakney Creeks.
Access Statement
This collection includes genealogical and family history information about Ngunnawal and Ngambri people in the region incorporating modern-day Canberra, Yass, Booroowa, Goulburn and Tumut. Much of this information dates from the mid-nineteenth century, and is drawn from colonial sources such as Parish Registers of Births Deaths and Marriages, the NSW Register of Births Deaths and Marriages, local histories, and historical society journals. Ann Jackson-Nakano drew on first-hand accounts from local Aboriginal people for some items in this collection, such as her MA thesis and projects with the Yass community.
Many of the file titles used by Ann Jackson-Nakano refer to family affinity with Ngunnawal or Ngambri communities; she also formed a view over the period of her research about which group is the Traditional Owners of the Canberra region. The NLA description of these parts of the collection – MS 9154, MS Acc08.116, MS Acc08.145, MS Acc09.153 – focuses on families rather than affinity with any specific Indigenous community.
Access to this collection was reviewed and interim conditions assigned in October and November 2023. Ann Jackson-Nakano was concerned to protect her work from misuse but also made all relevant information available to the right people, e.g., those seeking to find family or trace their Aboriginal connection. This, in balance with implementation of the NLA's ICIP Protocol, has informed the approach to assigning interim access conditions. Consultation with people mentioned in the records will confirm the collection's access conditions and the representation of families in the collection, for example, in file titles.
Until consultation has occurred, original file titles which identify individuals or families have been replaced by interim file titles, enclosed in square brackets, which indicate the locations in which families were recorded, e.g. [Genealogical information about an Aboriginal man from Tumut]. The names of families and, occasionally, of individuals, are recorded in NLA internal collection information systems. Staff are able to check this information when assisting users to find potentially useful files. Families may be comfortable with restitution of original titles; this will be confirmed at consultation.
Preferred Citation
Items from this collection should be cited as '[Title or description of manuscript item], Papers of Ann Jackson-Nakano, National Library of Australia, [class/series/file/item number(s)]'.

The death and resurrection of the Ngunnawal: a living history, by Ann Jackson-Nakano, 1994 (File 2) - Folio-Box 1 (MS 9154)
This material may contain language, terms, and descriptions that reflect the period in which certain sources were written which may not be considered appropriate today.
This material contains Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP) of the Ngunnawal peoples. This includes maps, genealogies, traditional knowledge, names, and histories reflecting on the experiences of the Ngunnawal peoples since colonial times.
Authors acknowledgement: This thesis is dedicated to the Ngunnawal community – past, present and future. I have attempted, within the limitations of a historian from a British background, to avoid the Eurocentric worldview depicted above, but do not pretend this is a definitive history of the Ngunnawal. The definitive history must be written by members of the community themselves, but even then, I suspect, there will be a variety of interpretations. This thesis aims only to correct unacceptable non-indigenous versions of the history of the Ngunnawal after the British invasion of their territory, using non-indigenous written records, and to dispel the myth of their extinction. It is merely a starting point in the struggle to find some point of agreement about the truth of the past.
Thesis submitted by Ann Jackson-Nakano in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of letters (History) 1994, Australian National University.
