Abstract

Taking care of Country is a school design challenge inspired by the First Nation's stories in The Earth Above: A Deep Time View of Australia’s Epic History, and CABAH researchers, educators, and filmmakers. The pedagogy underpinning this challenge is shared by Dr Anthony McKnight, a Gomeroi, Awabakal, Yuin man and CABAH researcher at UOW. Anthony generously shares his teachings and deep connection with Country with Australian educators and children to weave spirit into science and take care of Country.
