Resource Centre

How did traditional Indigenous families live in harsh climates and isolated desert country?

What impact has colonisation had on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people?

What does Indigenous art mean to the communities where it is created?

These questions and more are answered in the Resource Centre, a comprehensive collection of information designed to help PALS project entrants learn more about Australia’s first people.
