Australian Indigenous Peoples
Australian Indigenous Peoples are the original inhabitants of Australia, comprising two main groups: the Aboriginal peoples and the Torres Strait Islanders. They have diverse cultures, languages, and traditions that vary across different regions of the country. Their connection to the land is deeply spiritual and integral to their identity.
Indigenous Australians have lived on the continent for over 65,000 years, making them one of the world's oldest continuous cultures. They possess rich oral histories, art forms, and knowledge systems that reflect their relationship with the environment. Today, efforts are ongoing to recognize and preserve their rights and cultural heritage.
