Photo: Darren Boyd Since its inception in 1946, the University has helped to foster greater understanding of Indigenous culture and society. It has some of the longest ongoing Indigenous research projects in the country. Over the last two decades this centre has helped change the way we talk about Indigenous affairs in Australia, raising the bar on demographic research and statistical rigour in relation to our first peoples. The University is also home to the National Centre for Indigenous Studies (NCIS), which conducts multidisciplinary Indigenous research and currently has 15 higher degree by research students, 10 of whom are Indigenous. ANU also has many other research and education projects connected to Indigenous issues. This year also marks the highest ever number of Indigenous students enrolling at ANU, with 30 undergraduates and 23 graduate students commencing in semester one.
