The representation of Indigenous Australians in media has historically been shaped by stereotypes and exclusion, but this is gradually changing. Indigenous platforms like National Indigenous Television (NITV) and social media are breaking barriers, empowering First Nations voices, and fostering a more inclusive understanding of Australia’s diverse cultural identity. Learning about these changes offers valuable insight into the country’s true history, its ongoing journey toward equity, and the rich cultures that form the foundation of modern Australia. Understanding Indigenous perspectives is also an important step toward respectful connection and shared belonging. - တၢ်ကစီၣ်တဝၢအပူၤ အီစထြ့လယါပှၤထူလံၤဖိ အတၢ်ကဲခၢၣ်စးန့ၣ် တၢ်စံၣ်စိၤတဲစိၤ အတၢ်ပာ်လီၤအက့ၢ်အဂီၤန့ၣ် ဘၣ်တၢ်ပာ်ပနီၣ်သံအီၤဒီး ပာ်တ့ၢ်ကွံာ်အီၤ, သနာ်က့န့ၣ် တၢ်ဆီတလဲဟဲအိၣ်ထီၣ်ဝဲကယီယီလံန့ၣ်လီၤ. ပှၤထူလံၤဖိအပျဲၢ်စီၣ်သ့ၣ်တဖၣ် လၢအမ့ၢ်ဒ်သိး, National Indigenous Television (NITV) ဒီး ပှၤဂ့ၢ်ဝီတၢ်ကစီၣ်တဝၢသ့ၣ်တဖၣ်န့ၣ် ဘိးကၢ်ကွံာ်ဝဲဒၣ် တၢ်တြီတံာ်သ့ၣ်တဖၣ်, ဟ့ၣ်စိဟ့ၣ်ကမီၤဝဲ ပှၤထူလံၤဖိကလုၢ်သ့ၣ်တဖၣ်ဒီး ဟ့ၣ်ဂံၢ်ဟ့ၣ်ဘါ တၢ်သ့ၣ်ညါနၢ်ပၢၢ်အါထီၣ် အီစထြ့လယါကီၢ် လုၢ်လၢ်ဆဲးလၤတၢ်က့ၣ်ပနီၣ်လီၤဆီလိာ်အသးအကလုာ်ကလုာ်သ့ၣ်တဖၣ်န့ၣ်လီၤ.တၢ်မၤလိသ့ၣ်ညါဘၣ်ဃးတၢ်ဆီတလဲသ့ၣ်တဖၣ်အံၤန့ၣ် မ့ၢ်တၢ်ဟ့ၣ်လီၤအါထီၣ် တၢ်နၢ်ပၢၢ်ထံကီၢ်အံၤအတၢ်စံၣ်စိၤတဲစိၤအမ့ၢ်အတီဒိၣ်ဒိၣ်ယိာ်ယိာ်, အတၢ်လဲၤကျဲဆူတၢ်တုၤသိးပှဲၤသိး, ဒီး လုၢ်လၢ်ဆဲးလၤလီၤဆီအါမး လၢအမ့ၢ်ခီၣ်တဃာ်တၢ်သူၣ်ထီၣ်အီစထြ့လယါကီၢ်စိၤခ့ခါခဲအံၤန့ၣ်လီၤ. တၢ်သ့ၣ်ညါနၢ်ပၢၢ်ပှၤထူလံၤဖိအတၢ်ထံၣ်တၢ်ပာ်သးန့ၣ် မ့ၢ်စ့ၢ်ကီး ခီၣ်ခါအရ့ဒိၣ်တခါ လၢတၢ်လဲၤဆူ တၢ်ဘျးစဲလိာ်သးလၢအပှဲၤဒီးတၢ်ပာ်ကဲဒီး တၢ်ဟ့ၣ်နီၤလီၤတၢ်ဘၣ်ထွဲန့ၣ်လီၤ.
