Educational Services

We supply many options for you to get to know our culture. We can provide written material, guest speakers, tours, and more. The services we offer are all based firmly in a reconciliation platform. There can be no reconciliation without education.

Teaching Resources: To share the culture of the Ancestors, we offer a variety of teaching resources suitable for all educational levels from primary to college. Children are the future in all cultures. 

On this page:

  • Academic Works
    Tasmanian Aboriginal culture is normally written from a non-aboriginal archaeological / anthropological perspective. We offer a Tasmanian Aboriginal view of our history from a historical / geographical perspective.

  • Guest Speakers
    As our teaching has always been oral, we have elders, Historians, and Storytellers who visit schools, colleges, universities, groups, conferences, and organisations to share our culture. If you are teaching Aboriginal Studies, we can supply a speaker to suit your needs.

  • Educational workshops
    Our "hands on"  approach can be tailored to a specialised request, an open forum, or a structured series of workshops designed to dispel the myths about our cultural heritage.

  • Aboriginal Studies Workshop
    a 12 hour program over 6 weeks covering many topics.

  • Cultural Excursions
    Visits to historic and cultural sites in southern Tasmania
