Country & Culture
First Nations Australians are the oldest continuous musicians on Earth. Song, dance and instrument-making carry knowledge of Country, language, law and kinship across generations. When exploring this music, learn from local Elders and communities, follow protocols for using songs and images, and respect Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP) rights — always seek permission and give credit.
