Digger J. Jones reckons that
there is a lot that people can learn about local Aboriginal
culture. Here are some questions he reckons you could ask your
teacher and discuss in class with your school mates?
What is the tribal/traditional
name of the land that your school is on?
How do you say "hello",
"goodbye", "how are you?" in the local language?
Create a Hero/Heroines board of
Indigenous people?
What Indigenous battles
happened in the area?
Can you name five
tribes?
What is the tribal/traditional
name of the land that Digger lives on (and can you find it on a map
of Victoria)?
Can you create a list of
resistance fighters?
Are there local Indigenous
organisations and what do they do?

or with your mates and family
