Slide1
Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples use resources in their environment
Note: Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples are warned that the example resources may contain images and names of deceased persons.
Country and Place: ‘Country’ is a space that individuals or groups of Aboriginal peoples occupy and regard as their own. ‘Place’ is a space that individuals or groups of Torres Strait islander peoples occupy and regard as their own. The terms Country and Place describe more than just the land associated with an Aboriginal group or Torres Strait Islander group. While the land is important, some sites hold particular significance for individuals or groups, often for spiritual or ceremonial reasons. Slide2
Aboriginal peoples
and Torres Strait Islander peoples use natural resources in their environment to help them in their day-to-day life. They have a strong tradition of using the available natural resources sustainably. Slide3
Custodial responsibility
Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples have an obligation to care for the Country/Place on which they live, even if they are not the traditional owners of that place. Traditional owners have primary responsibility for Country/Place.
Responsibility for Country/Place influences how the resources of that place are used.
