Sea Country Stories
Want more stories from Ngarrindjeri Country? Sea Country Stories is an original project by Green Island Creative, which brings together Australian Indigenous knowledge holders, artists and creators with educators, museums and sustainable fishers for the first time. This project addresses unidimensional stories of Australia's oceanic history and a lack of confidence amongst Australian teachers to integrate Indigenous perspectives in the classroom, with an immersive experience of being on Sea Country and a set of Australian curriculum-aligned lesson plans.
