Caring for Country means protecting and appreciating the animals and environment. Caring for your Country is especially important in times of disaster. You need to Care for the Country so the animals and plant species don’t become extinct.
Caring for Country is recovering from disasters and rebuilding.
My artwork is about the Australian bushfires and how they are different to traditional times when Aboriginal people made fires to rejuvenate the land. Caring for country means looking after our land together.
Reconciliation means …caring for each other.
Reconciliation means …the European people paying respect to Aboriginal people
Reconciliation means …working together.
