First Nations Country Connection
Hudson’s Creek Walk
Hudson walks with her family beside a creek near their home. They notice reeds growing along the water and small birds feeding nearby. After rain, the creek is flowing strongly. Hudson’s family picks up litter from the path and takes it to a bin. They talk about how plants, animals, water and people all need a healthy place to live. Hudson learns that for many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, Country is a living connection that can include land, waters, skies, plants, animals, people, culture and ancestors. First Nations peoples have cared for Country for tens of thousands of years, in many different ways. Caring for Country today can include listening to local First Nations knowledge and following guidance from Traditional Owners.
