'Alongside hits by The Beatles and Harry Styles, the soundtrack to sci-fi blockbuster Project Hail Mary includes a powerful version of the waiata 'Pō Atarau', a song originally written in te reo Māori which became a global hit in English as 'Now is the Hour'.

Erima Maewa Kaihau (Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Te Ata) — the woman who first penned its vocal melody and original te reo lyrics back in the mid-1910s — didn't receive the attribution or payment she deserved for her song's success, says Austin Haynes.

"It's a real shame that she has lain forgotten for such a long time, and that the song has become detached from her own name and kōrero, her own story," he tells RNZ's Nights.' https://www.rnz.co.nz/life/music/finally-recognising-her-mana-the-maori-composer-whose-110-year-old-song-features-in-project-hail #music #copyright #IndigenousIP #Nzlaw #HailMary

'APYACC says it suffered a significant financial loss as a result of The Australian’s reporting, including a downturn in sales. And while their state funding was reinstated last year, the collective believes their expulsion from the Indigenous Art Code, as a result of the allegations, has adversely affected their federal funding applications in the years since.

In a defamation suit lodged with South Australia’s supreme court, the collective is suing Nationwide News, publisher of The Australian newspaper, for $4.4m: a figure that includes the loss of the NGA sale, which they put at $1,397,000, and their lost federal funding, which they estimated at $1.07m.' https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/ng-interactive/2026/apr/11/apy-lands-indigenous-australian-art-exhibition-nga-ngura-pulka-lawsuit #IndigenousIP #defamation #auslaw #auspol #art #media

'Dr Naomi Mayers, also known as Aunty Nay, changed the landscape of Aboriginal healthcare across the country.

She is credited with turning self-determination into a model of care that is still used today by Aboriginal-controlled medical services from WA's Kimberley region to the bustling streets of Sydney.

The prominent health leader, activist and original member of The Sapphires singing group died aged 84 on Saturday.' https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04-07/dr-naomi-mayers-aboriginal-health-leader-the-sapphires-singer/106534236

The story of the Papunya Literature Production Centre
"There's a saying, 'flood the place with literature', which is exactly what they did," sociologist Professor Vivien Johnson, who worked to digitise the collection, said. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04-04/art-created-for-papunya-reading-program-goes-on-display/106525266

"And the quality of these books and the artwork and the stories is quite extraordinary.

"[It] reflects something about this particular era where Aboriginal people, because of the Land Rights legislation and the temper of the times, thought that they were able to take control their lives and their children's education."
