Glossary 4 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders Used throughout this report to describe the Indigenous peoples of Australia. In some instances, the term Australia’s First Nations peoples is also used. In recognition of the diversity of identities and cultures amongst Indigenous peoples across Australia, plural terms (peoples, histories, perspectives) are preferred. Brotherboy and Sistergirl These are terms used for gender diverse people within some Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander communities. Sistergirls and Brotherboys have distinct cultural identities and roles. Sistergirls are Indigenous people who were classified male at birth but live their lives as women, including taking on traditional cultural female practices. Brotherboys are Indigenous people who were classified as female at birth but who have a male spirit.1 Child/children According to Article 1 on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, a child is defined as every human being under the age of 18. To incorporate older children respectfully, the term ‘children and young people’ is used throughout this report. ‘Youth’ is also used interchangeably with ‘children and young people’ to specifically refer to FIFA’s existing programs in this area. ‘Young people’ also extends to cover young adults just over the age of 18 who are a group of special attention for FIFA because they have been identified by research to be at particular risk in football. Indigenous peoples or First Nations These terms are used to collectively describe the Indigenous peoples of both Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand, unless otherwise specified. Māori A (post-colonisation) term for Indigenous New Zealanders, developed to distinguish tangata whenua from new Pākehā colonisers. Prior to colonisation, iwi (tribe) and hapū (subtribe) identifiers were the predominant way of identifying different groups of people, whereas post-colonisation Māori became the term to identify all Indigenous New Zealanders in contrast to European arrivals. Iwi and/ or hapū identification still plays a huge role in identifying whakapapa/lineage and connection. The NZHRC section of the report interchangeably uses tangata whenua [all lowercase] and Māori. Mana Whenua Territorial rights, power from the land, authority and jurisdiction over land or territory. The term speaks to the iwi or hapū’s history and legends based in the land they have occupied over generations – their source of power, prestige, influence and authority (mana) is connected with the ancestral land and the caretaking/guardianship (kaitiakitanga) function the iwi holds.
