This paper argues that the public relations sphere needs to have better understanding and more representation and acknowledgment of Indigenous women’s contemporary experiences and contributions. Indigenous Australian women experience multiple oppressions, such as Eurocentric and patriarchal control and, within the broader areas of Indigenous, women’s, and feminist public relations scholarship, their voices are largely absent. To address these issues, this paper, based on Indigenous women’s standpoint theory and an Indigenous yarning method, presents the narratives of five Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women employed in public relations. These narratives reflect experiences of marginalization by the Australian mainstream culture of whiteness and patriarchy; they also suggest the incidence of work induced mental distress for the women participants. This study of female Indigeneity within public relations aims to promote understanding of intersectional identities, the long-term effects of whiteness and racism, and may suggest how public relations can play a role in decolonizing efforts.

本文认为，公共关系领域需要对土著妇女的当代经验和贡献有更好的理解，更多的代表性和认可。澳大利亚土著妇女遭受多重压迫，例如以欧洲为中心和重男轻女的控制，在更广泛的土著，妇女和女权公共关系奖学金领域，她们的声音基本没有。为了解决这些问题，本文基于土著妇女的立场理论和土著纱线方法，介绍了五名从事公共关系工作的原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民妇女的叙述。这些叙述反映了澳大利亚白人和父权制主流文化的边缘化经历；他们还表明，女性参与者因工作而引起的精神困扰。这项对公共关系中的女性土著性的研究旨在增进对相交身份的了解，白人和种族主义的长期影响，并可能暗示公共关系如何在非殖民化努力中发挥作用。
