Main Ngadjonji Photo Archive


(**.. webmaster note: More information is out there but much, for no logical reason, is now considered "copyright" or "access denied". 
The Ngadjon should have access. It is their culture.  The vast majority of cultural research, taking into account cultural sensibilities, in an enlightened society, should be open source.
Knowledge is pointless unless it is shared...  Shared knowledge builds bridges of understanding. .. Without understanding reconciliation is no more than a dream. **)
...for artistic works, copyright lasts for the life of the artist plus 70 years, and publication status is irrelevant..
Once copyright expires, there are no longer any copyright-related restrictions on its copying or re-use.
This is sometimes referred to as being in the public domain.
