Bill Stanner

Emeritus Professor W.E.H. "Bill" Stanner (1905-1981) was an Australian anthropologist who worked extensively with Indigenous Australians and played an important role in establishing the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies.

He also led the North Australia Observation Unit (NAOU), the "Nackeroos" or "Curtin’s Cowboys" formed in March 1942 and disbanded March 1945, they patrolled northern Australia for signs of enemy activity.

He coined the terms the "Great Australian Silence" and "everywhen" in the 1968 Boyer Lectures titled "After the Dreaming", reflecting on the silence on Indigenous Australians in Australian history after white settlement.
