Caring for Country: Who are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples?

Children will explore who Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are. Children will listen to a story featuring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander characters or events, and will understand that for many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, sharing stories can be a way of sharing knowledge and histories.

This activity is designed to give you an understanding of how to introduce Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives to children and to help you build your confidence in sharing this topic with children and families.

This activity forms part of the unit Caring For Country: Introductory Lessons and Themed Activities. It is recommended that the Introductory Lessons be completed before exploring any of the themed activities with children in order to give them a basic understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures.
