Aboriginal people

Aboriginal people refer to the indigenous peoples of Australia, including diverse groups with distinct cultures, languages, and histories. They are the original inhabitants of the continent, having lived there for tens of thousands of years. Aboriginal communities often have deep spiritual and cultural connections to their land, which is reflected in their traditions, art, and practices. They faced colonization and its impacts but continue to maintain and revitalize their cultural identities. Recognized as Australia’s first peoples, Aboriginal communities play a vital role in the country’s cultural heritage and ongoing social and political landscape.
