Introduction
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and histories pre-date written history. Their cultures and histories are complex and contain as much diversity within Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures as between them and those who later arrived on these lands. This topic asks you to explore the written histories of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, identify evidence of both their prior and continuing occupation of lands and seas, and consider the similarities and differences, at a broad level, between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and cultures.
