Scenario Task Process Resources Assessment Reflection

Scenario :

Indigenous cultures of Australia are the oldest living cultural history in the world (they go back at least 50,000 years). One of the reasons why Aboriginal cultures have survived for so long, is due to their ability to adapt and change over time. In Australia, Indigenous communities keep their cultural heritage alive by passing their knowledge, arts, rituals and performances from one generation to another, speaking and teaching languages, protecting cultural materials, sacred and significant sites, and objects.
