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.
