ELL: asking for information

[Claire Bowern]

Dear Roger,

The groups will probably have their own culture associations; if you want
to do a doco about the languages it would be politic for you to talk to
representatives of the groups themselves. I don't have any phone numbers
but you can ring up the local ATSIC office (phone numbers at
http://www.atsic.gov.au/tools/contact_state_and_regional.asp#Queensland)
and ask for the phone numbers from them. Also AIATSIS used to publish a
directory of Aboriginal and TSI organisations, called "The Black Book"
which might be helpful.

Other Australianists who work in the Queensland area probably have a more
direct way of contacting the people you need to talk to, but here's a
start.
