On Country

Kim Kiosses

For Aboriginal people, Country is not just land; it is everything, land, water, sky, plants, animals, and people. It is more than physical, it is spiritual, cultural and our ancestral connection we have with Country. Country is like being at home, where we belong and have a strong and respectful relationship. For thousands of years, Country has sustained Aboriginal people by providing everything necessary for survival, caring for and respecting Country is a responsibility handed down through generations.
