Need help from an aboriginal for an art project

Currently in the middle of creating my final artwork for unit 4 art and I need some help. I’m doing an animation on history repeating itself–especially focusing on ethnic cleansing–and my first thought was to focus on Indian culture because I’m more educated on that then aboriginal culture. I wanted to focus on their culture as I could use ghungroo bell sounds for some kind of ‘wake up call’ to the public, mudras to tell a story of the people of the past, and a whole lot more. Though I feel like it would be better if I changed it for there to be aboriginal culture because I am Australian; born, raised, educated, animating and presenting my work on stolen land. I’m wondering if there is anyone specifically from Wurundjeri that could help me? If not, any other tribe absolutely works. I’d like to know if there is any way I could incorporate aboriginal culture in my work rather than taking the easy route and sticking to a culture I don’t need to do much research on.
