Charles Darwin University is located in the Northern Territory of Australia, which is closer, in many respects, to the vast populations of Asia than to the Southern Australian states. CDU is deeply engaged with, and informed by, Australia's indigenous people. It operates on the lands of many strong indigenous nations hence respecting the knowledge and culture of aboriginal people. Due to this, the institution has set up the College of Indigenous Futures, Arts and Society which seeks to promote people, communities and cultures. CDU is also in partnership with indigenous businesses such as fishing, tourism, crocodile farming, agriculture and horticulture.
