Description

Indigenous knowledge systems that underpin the use and management of lands and resources have been built through strong observational, tested, practice-based methods. These systems emphasize a reciprocol relationship between the land and the people. This paper describes a research partnership that involved the sharing and teaching of Ngan'gi Aboriginal ecological knowledge in relation to water resources in the Daly River area of Australia. This engagement led to the co-development of an Indigenous seasonal calendar for aquatic resource use that can be adapted and serve as an effective tool for supporting healthy land, healthy people outcomes.
