Connecting to Country

Posted by meleuka On February - 20 - 2009

Connecting to Country projects that work with Tribal Elders and Youth to connect with their traditional country and culture to strengthen personal and social identity for future generations. The Connecting to Country projects connect young people to their country, under the guidance of elders to teach young people about culture, language, health and the environment.
“We are creating new ways to continue to educate our future generations about country, culture, story and song lines.” (Lance Riley, Indigenous Elder 1999)
Having a connection to country and culture is important to help foster healthy social, emotional and physical development for young people and society at large.
