First Australians | Sections | Share Our Pride Local people may have a preference for how they are described, for example at a function or event. If you’re not sure of a person’s particular language group and can’t find out, it’s usually okay to simply acknowledge them as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. The easiest way to find out is to ask the person themselves – they will see this as showing respect and they’ll appreciate it. Connection with country is crucial to the wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. For millennia, when Indigenous people visited the country of others, there would be rituals of welcoming to country. Usually a ‘Welcome to Country’ will occur at the beginning of any major public meeting. An ‘Acknowledgment of Country’ can be done by any Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander Australians that are not traditional owners of the country you are meeting on, or by non-Indigenous Australians. Acknowledgements can be done at the beginning of any meeting.

Aboriginal Astronomy Calendars Aboriginal calendars tend to be more complex than European calendars, and those in the north of Australia are often based on six seasons. Some Aboriginal groups mark them in terms of the stars which appear during these seasons. At the Wurdi Youang stone arrangement (shown above), it has even been suggested that the positions of the Sun were marked at the solstices and the the equinoxes.

Aboriginal inventions: 10 enduring innovations ABORIGINAL PEOPLE FORMED one of the most technologically advanced societies in the world when they first arrived in Australia. The way they adapted to our country's challenging conditions is a testament to Aussie inventiveness. It was once a widely-held belief in Australia that before contact, Aboriginal culture stood still. "Diversification was the key to surviving in such a diverse landscape," says Lyndon Ormond-Parker, a research fellow from the indigenous studies unit at the University of Melbourne. This diversity can be seen in the wide range of technology Aboriginal people used. The boomerang The boomerang's distinctive sound and remarkable return flight has made it famous throughout the world. The woomera The woomera is another uniquely Aboriginal invention that uses leverage to allow a spear to be thrown up to three times further.
