The term emphasizes cultural pride and may encompass aspects of traditional practices, stories, and social relationships. Understanding Nunga involves recognizing it as an expression of Indigenous identity that counters historical marginalization, promoting respect, recognition, and the importance of preserving Aboriginal heritage and contemporary culture.
