This page is not unambiguously promotional, because the subject is not known to the author - no conflict of interest. Aunty Di Kerr is a notable Aboriginal (Australian) Elder - (see note below re: title Aunty) who sits on numerous Australian and Victorian Government-sponsored boards and councils.

An Aboriginal (or Torres Strait Islander) Elder is someone who has gained recognition as a custodian of knowledge and lore, and who has permission to disclose knowledge and beliefs. In some instances Aboriginal people above a certain age will refer to themselves as Elders. It is important to understand that, in traditional Aboriginal culture, age alone doesn't necessarily mean that one is recognised as an Elder. Aboriginal people traditionally refer to an Elder as 'Aunty' or 'Uncle'.
