Unit description
Accessing Indigenous Knowledge is facilitated through building relationships between students and Country. When people respectfully fulfil their responsibilities to care for Country, Country gives back land-based, contextual knowledge. Indigenous voices from around the globe will highlight priorities and directions to applying land-based knowledge into action in our local environments.
