Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Associations & Organisations

About the Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Associations & Organisations heading in Yellow™

Look for associations and organisations that deal with Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders under this Yellow™ heading. Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders are Australia’s indigenous people. These are the people who have been the main inhabitants of Australia before other habitants came to their land. The organisations and associations under this heading are those, which have dedicated huge amounts of time to the indigenous people of Australia.

Aborigines are a race of people who have been identified as the original inhabitants of Australia. They are one of the oldest active indigenous communities in the whole world. On the other hand, Torres Strait Islanders are known to be the other indigenous group of Australia. However, they can be distinguished from aborigines as they are culturally similar to Papua New Guinea. Most of Torres Strait Islanders are located in Seisia and Bamaga. They are mostly sea-faring people who engage in trade with the people in Papua New Guinea.

In order to help the indigenous groups of Australia, many organisations and associations have been created in order to cater to the needs and problems of both aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders. One of the sources of income for the aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders is the sales of their artwork. The organisations and associations which work with these groups are responsible for putting up exhibits and for showcasing the talents of these people. Much of their art stems from their way of life as well as their history, dominantly featuring themes related to nature.
