10.9 SkillBuilder activity GEOGRAPHICAL INQUIRY, COMMUNICATING Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples have a strong connection to the land. Children are taught from an early age to respect the environment. They stay in an area for a time and then move to another as the seasons change. This ensures that they do not overhunt, overýsh or overharvest the resources in any one area. They are taught to take only what they need and not to waste anything. The mangrove regions of the north of Australia are an important source of food, timber and medicines for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities who live in this region. Use online resources to investigate how Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities live with and care for the mangroves. 1. As a class, mind map a list of how mangroves provide food, shelter, timber and medicine. 2. Select a feature of mangroves for further research. 3. Create a poster based on your ýndings:
a. Outline what you investigated b. Explain how the land is cared for
c. Describe what the land provides for the people d. Show how connection to Country is evident 4. Use the posters to create a class collage.
