Northern Territory Indigenous Australians

Indigenous Australians in the Northern Territory are the original inhabitants of the region, with rich cultures and traditions that date back tens of thousands of years. They include Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, each with unique languages, spiritual beliefs, and art. Despite their deep connection to the land, many face social, economic, and health challenges due to historical impacts of colonization. Recognized legally as the original custodians, they continue to preserve their cultural practices while striving for greater equality and recognition within Australian society.
