Course description
Have you ever wondered about Aboriginal cultural values and care for Country? Have you ever reflected about the history of Country and Aboriginal sites of significance in and around South-East Queensland? This course offers you opportunities to explore Aboriginal cultural values, with an emphasis on connection to Country, and historical and contemporary sites that have shaped and continue to shape Indigenous Australia. Through engaging site visits, reflective practice, and learning to engage with Country with some Aboriginal cultural values and knowledge, you will gain a deeper appreciation of the history of the Country you stand on and the greater contributions by Indigenous Australians to knowledge systems.
