Australia's First Nations peoples are the Indigenous inhabitants of Australia, comprising over 250 distinct groups, each with their own languages, cultures, and traditions. They have lived on the continent for at least 65,000 years, making them one of the world's oldest continuous cultures. Their connection to the land is deeply spiritual, and they have a rich history of storytelling, art, and community practices. These groups include the Aboriginal peoples and the Torres Strait Islanders, each with unique identities and customs. First Nations peoples have a profound understanding of the Australian landscape, which is reflected in their traditional ecological knowledge. Today, they continue to advocate for their rights, cultural preservation, and recognition within Australian society.
