Description

Yaama – welcome to Kamilaroi Footprints

For most non Aboriginal people the word ‘land’ conjures upimages of the ground and/or geographical features, or a farmingproperty, or perhaps simply something to buy and sell.

For most Aboriginal people, however, the word ‘land’ has a farmore significant meaning. In fact, Aboriginal people do not thinkin terms of ‘owning’ land at all – rather they believe the land‘owns’ them. The land, all that surrounds it and everything livingon it, is at the core of their identity, their traditions, theirculture, their spirituality and their laws. The plants and animalsfound on the land were a source of food, clothing and medicines.They were also used to make weapons and tools such as axes andbaskets. The seasons and the stars were used to predict what foodwould be available, what weather was coming and therefore whatshelter would be needed.

Further, within Aboriginal culture, their ancestors defined theland by its geographical landscape – for example, mountains andrivers, to identify ‘country’ for each Aboriginal language group.Consequently Aboriginal people tend to define themselves asbelonging to a particular country [land].

Country is fundamental to the wellbeing of Aboriginal people.With their deep understanding of, and connection to, their country,Aboriginal people managed and nurtured the land sustainably. Indeedit is said that Aboriginal people lived with the land, whereas,upon European settlement, people tended to expect to live off theland.

The Liverpool Plains is part of Kamilaroi country. Kamilaroicountry extends from the Upper Hunter River [around Singleton]through to the Warrumbungle mountains in the west, and along theBalonne, Bundarra, Namoi and Barwon rivers to Nindigully in southwest Queensland. The Kamilaroi people and the Gamilaraay languagebelong to Kamilaroi country.

Although this connection to country extends from the past, theKamilaroi people still have a strong and enduring attachment totheir country – a connection that will continue to shape theirpresent and future identity and culture.

Through this App they invite you to connect with nature, and toshare some insights into their cultural heritage, passed downthrough generations, as you journey through the Liverpool Plainsregion of Kamilaroi country.
