Description:It was with some reservation, as a non-indigenous Australian, that I accepted the challenge to write about the signiificance of land and sea in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander societies. I was encouraged to do so on the basis that the paper primarily seeks to inform other non-indigenous Australians about these issues. Having spent some years involved in research and training projects relating to Aboriginal peoples' land and marine management, it was thought by the editor of this series of papers that I might be able to share some insights on these issues.This paper, therefore, represents an attempt to pass on to fellow non-indigenous Australians some perspectives on the Australian environment which Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have conveyed to me over the years. In that sense it is a means to repay the investment that indigenous Australians have made in their patient education of white-fellas like me who have been priviliged to spend time in their company and in their countries. It is by no means an attempt to speak on behalf of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples - that is something they do far more eloquently themselves.Throughout the paper I have used direct quotations from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander persons, other writers and various government reports. However, since I have chosen the extracts and the use to which they have been put, this is inevitably a personal (and brief) introduction to very complex issues which are central to the lives of Australia's indigenous peoples.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
