Contribution Dr Russell Kennedy’s lecture focused on First Nations knowledge systems in the context of design anthropology and professional Practice. His research positioned within the fields of communication design, national identity design and design advocacy was discussed in a public forum, especially its relationship to Indigenous representation. Also discussed was his PhD thesis titled, ‘Designing with Indigenous Knowledge Protocols for Respectful and Authentic Cross-cultural Representation in Communication Design Practice’, leading to co-authorship of the award winning Australian and International Indigenous Design Charters. Significance The lecture and forum discussion interrogated the paradigm shift of change refelect in the Indigenous Design Charter project but also influenced by thought-provoking initiatives such as Reconciliation Australia’s Recognise campaign (2012–17), the Uluru Statement from the Heart (2017) and the ongoing Treaty in Victoria process, which commenced in 2016.The Koorie Heritage Trust’s move to Fed Square in 2015 increased visibility and helped create awareness.
