The Indigenous Peoples of Australia, known as Aboriginal Australians and Torres Strait Islanders, are the original inhabitants of the Australian continent. They have diverse cultures, languages, and traditions that vary across different regions. Their connection to the land is deeply spiritual, and they have lived in Australia for over 65,000 years, making them one of the world's oldest continuous cultures. Indigenous Australians have a rich history of storytelling, art, and music, often reflecting their relationship with nature. They traditionally practiced sustainable land management and had complex social structures. Today, Indigenous communities continue to advocate for their rights, cultural preservation, and recognition within Australian society.
