The retention of cultural heritage in the landscape is essential in understanding our Ancestors relationship to Country and continuing our creation of cultural connections in the landscape today.
The application of cultural fire through Traditional Owner led practices across all types of Country and land tenure will enable Traditional Owners to heal Country and fulfill their rights and obligations to care for Country.
The impact of climate change on Country is profound. Traditional Owners are applying their knowledge to manage its effects and create economic development opportunities from the expanding renewable energy sector.
Water is a strategic and significant resource in Victoria and its use, management and control has a potent and real effect on the lives and outcomes for Traditional Owners.
Traditional Owners have cultivated and managed Country for millennia, developing processes for sustainable food and medicinal plant production, as well as holistic cultural and ecological land management.
Treaty is our opportunity to make sure that Victorian Traditional Owners have the freedom and power to make the decisions that affect our communities, our culture, and our Country.
