ABSTRACT
Though scholars have had much to say about Indigenous ways of life, for the most part they have had little to say in regard to Indigenous sexuality. One way to map Indigenous sexuality is to chronicle Indigenous peoples’ lives in sexual spaces. In this chapter I engage with Indigenous Australian people in the sphere of sex work. Such research on Indigenous Australians’ sexual relations aims to encourage new understandings of sex, sexuality and gender and to stimulate different ways of (re)imagining Indigenous bodies. This chapter is offered as an affirmation of Indigenous rights to self-determination, as well as a form of resistance against the misrepresentation of Indigenous sexualities and gender diversity.
