Dec 13

🌺 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander lands are made up of many different and distinct groups, each with their own culture, customs, language, and laws.

🕰️ They are the world’s oldest surviving culture.

🌳 “Country” is the term often used by Aboriginal peoples to describe the lands, waterways, and seas to which they are connected.

🌀 The term includes many important ideas about rules, places, traditions, languages, beliefs, ways of living, getting food, family, and who you are.
