Reconciliation Week 2021

Check out some of our 2020 Indigenous Studies Lessons!

I would like to acknowledge the Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation  who were the first people to live on this land where we live. I’d like to pay respect to their elders past, present and emerging and thank them for sharing their culture and language with us.

Feel free to take down some notes on Google docs.

Enjoy and don’t forget to get out in nature and connect with country.

Girawu The Goanna

Aboriginal people had many different cultures and languages across Australia and they formed different nations. 

Each group had to ask permission to enter another groups’ country. They would often sit by the border and set up camp waiting for an elder to come to them, offering gifts so they could enter their country. Just as we need a passport to enter another country out of Australia, they also needed permission too. 

As a mark of respect we now have elders of the country do welcome ceremonies before big events like the Wominjeka Festival.  

Can you find the rivers from the story Girawa The Goanna on the Language map?

What language groups are found on the Murrumbidgee River and Murray River?

Can you find out the language groups from places you have visited in the past or would like to visit in the future using the language map?

Example, Shepparton-  Yorta Yorta 

Can you find  Boon Wurrung country on the map?

Go out into nature and create an art piece or pictures that can be part of an oral story. Record your story.
