Gnibi College of Indigenous Australian Peoples

Situated on the University’s Lismore campus in the heart of the Bundjalung Nation on the North Coast of NSW, Gnibi College of Indigenous Australian Peoples is also represented at the Coffs Harbour and Gold Coast campuses, on the territories of the Gumbaynggirr People and Nganduwal Minjungbal/ Yugambeh People of the northern end of Bundjalung Country respectively. The name Gnibi was gifted to the University by Widjabul Elders of the Bundjalung Nation and is the Bundjalung word for ‘black swan’. It is also the name the Bundjalung people gave to the star system, or constellation, that early European explorers called the ‘Southern Cross’.
