Traditional hunting of sea turtle and dugong has been a point of recent contention between some Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.
In the lead up to National Reconciliation Week, which begins on Wednesday, NQ Dry Tropics is launching an educational film that explores the significance of the relationship between Traditional Owners and sea turtles.
NQ Dry Tropics supports 16 Traditional Owner groups to access information and funding for land and sea activities.
We have helped over 15 projects in the last couple of years including; introducing a cultural education program to school children and the Townsville region, a two-day workshop of Traditional Owner women at Cape Upstart just outside of Bowen, weed management projects on Palm Island and Magnetic Island.
