Aboriginal Heritage Awareness training

Hut depressions are examples of Aboriginal heritage, images from Aboriginal Heritage Awareness Training video.

The palawa/pakana people are the traditional owners and custodians of lutruwita (Tasmania). This land is full of tangible and intangible Aboriginal heritage which is central to the identity of Tasmanian Aboriginal people, and demonstrates the connection between people and landscapes that has been in place for many thousands of years.

A new online resource is now available to raise awareness of Aboriginal cultural heritage, particularly in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. The online training also teaches users to identify and report discoveries of Aboriginal heritage.

The training is delivered through beautifully shot video and text-based learning along with self-check exercises. The training takes about one hour to complete and is an important resource for all Tasmanians, especially those planning to undertake any on-ground works.
