Less than about colonisation in other states short story – there were indigenous people here and now there aren’t…

no, it was very limited. Scouting teaches some of it but still limited First nations culture I don’t recall learning any of in school in primary school I remember having a term on Greek culture and history, and learning some French in grade 6 – surely some tiem on our heritage is higher priority?

teach some history and culture – big picture but also more localised In cooking and gardening classes – grow native tucker and use that in the kitchen so kids learn culture and sustainability alongside the cooking and maths education they get from such classes. It would be so easy to work in, with little additional cost or effort. More historical plaques telling us about first nation history, not just at big sites but in random places where culture developed. More signs showing original names (eg Gardiners Creek = Kooyongkoot) so we become familiar with the language and the names. Simple familiarity will do more that just classroom lessons alone. Add more dreamtime or cultural stories as readers in early primary school. respectfully, let us know how many indigenous people live amongst us in Victoria – it feels like we annihilated them and we have none (I know there are some living in Victoria, but it doesn’t feel like we have a first nations community).

Be willing to listen. Be open to learning more of their culture and acknowledged their history. Introduce more farming and land care practices from indigenous culture Vote out those who will not implement processes and an environment to support truth telling and treaty. Act according to treaty even if it isn’t law or official
