Introduction
Creative spirits is a website that focuses on Indigenous culture and offers a number of resources to explore their culture including arts, history, economy and health. There is also a substantial section on land management practices, both past and present. This section of the site not only details modern land practices, but also historical land management practices such as fire management and land care.
This can be used to educate students on Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander science practices.
