Engagement with concepts of  Indigenous knowledge  can generate valuable conversation on what knowledge is within diverse cultures and their interactions, enriching the intellectual frameworks guiding collaborative research with Indigenous Australian communities. However, significant limitations of this term can be shown by looking to specific traditions of thought and performance within Indigenous Australia. In this article, I argue that use of the term  Indigenous knowledge  often carries tacit epistemological assumptions that obscure various relational and participatory dynamics of knowledge. This can be seen in tendencies to utilise the term as a marker of cultural separation rather than looking to the ways distinct traditions allow relational growth across cultural differences. I develop this critique with reference to Yolŋu  manikay  (public ceremonial song) as it foregrounds interactivity between different peoples and places as integral to meaningful engagement with ancestral traditions. These observations echo recent methodological work within Australian ethnomusicology, in which collaborative research activities prioritise ceremonial revitalisation and archival repatriation over ethnographic documentation. I suggest this focus might be further consolidated by emphasising characteristics such as respect, attentiveness and friendship, which can motivate collaborative research and constitute knowledge within unique localities of people and place.
