Observing the cultural protocols of Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is an important step towards understanding and respecting the Traditional Owners of the land we all live on. This episode of Settlement Guide is an introduction to some important protocols that can influence our behaviour and honour the unique knowledge and status held by First Australians. Feature by Melissa Compagnoni. Renuka presents in Tamil.
