First Australians

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. Today, these rituals have a legacy in formal ‘Welcome to Country’ and ‘Acknowledgment of Country’ protocols. Usually a ‘Welcome to Country’ will occur at the beginning of any major public meeting.

Acknowledgements can be done at the beginning of any meeting. Acknowledge the traditional owners/custodians.Pay respect to their Elders past and present. Story105.

Percy Trezise: One man's passion for Quinkan Rock Art helps preserve Aboriginal cultural history

By all accounts, Percy Trezise was a bit confronting when you first met him. He wore a pith helmet, a pistol on his hip, and chomped down on a cigarette holder. He moved quickly through the Cape York Peninsula scrub and was often accompanied by his bush mates, including his adventure partner, Aboriginal artist Dick Roughsey. But Percy wasn't just a man's man. Today Percy's sons Matt and Steven are still tramping through the bush under the spell of an obsession which has made the Trezise name synonymous with the oldest art in the world - the legendary Quinkan Rock Art. It is an obsession that has occupied the lives of two generations of Trezise men, but which has come at a cost to relationships.

Cultural history preserved in pristine wilderness The Quinkans are situated in pristine wilderness near Laura, a small town four hours north-west of Cairns. There they cooked, slept and painted. "Dad was indefatigable. Sally Morgan's Australia by Christina Coleman on Prezi.
