43 resources availableAbout Indigenous Culture Resources
Indigenous Culture and History teaching resources support Australian primary teachers in embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures — one of the three cross-curriculum priorities in the Australian Curriculum — across all learning areas. These resources help students develop respectful understanding of the oldest continuing cultures in the world, their deep knowledge systems, and their ongoing contributions to Australian life.
TeachBuySell features Indigenous culture and history resources created by Australian teachers committed to respectful and authentic representation. Browse resources covering Dreaming stories, Aboriginal art techniques, Indigenous seasons and land management, significant events and dates (such as NAIDOC Week, Reconciliation Week, and Sorry Day), and cross-curricular units that weave Indigenous perspectives into English, Science, HASS, Mathematics, and The Arts.
Teaching Indigenous culture and history is not limited to dedicated lessons or special weeks — it is a year-round commitment woven through all curriculum areas. A science unit on ecosystems can incorporate Indigenous land management knowledge, while an English unit can explore Dreaming narratives as a text type. These resources help you build cultural understanding authentically and respectfully, supporting your students to value and learn from First Nations perspectives throughout the school year.
