Aboriginal Victorians

Aboriginal Victorians are the Indigenous peoples of the state of Victoria, Australia, with cultures dating back tens of thousands of years. They include diverse groups such as the Gunditjmara, Yorta Yorta, and Koori, each with their own languages, traditions, and histories. They have a deep spiritual connection to the land, which is reflected in their stories, art, and customs. Despite colonization and its impacts, Aboriginal Victorians continue to maintain and revive their cultural practices, advocating for recognition, rights, and the preservation of their heritage.
