Check understanding
- Explain what custodial responsibility for Country/Place means and give an example of how First Nations Australians practise it (e.g. cultural burning or harvesting only what is needed)
- Describe the work of an Indigenous ranger group caring for land or sea Country, using a source
- Explain how seasonal knowledge guides when and what is harvested so that plants and animals are not used up
