This learning resource focuses on the rich and enduring cultural heritage of Aboriginal Peoples, tracing evidence of their continuous culture over a span of more than 65,000 years. The document outlines various activities aimed at helping learners identify and analyze historical sources, such as Aboriginal rock art and tools, compared to renowned works like Leonardo da Vinci's portrait. It encourages students to engage with visual evidence, using structured thinking routines (See, Think, Wonder) to deepen their understanding of how these forms of evidence illuminate the past. Additionally, students reflect on the significance of Aboriginal culture in the context of world history through activities that prompt them to consider what they know, what they want to know, and what they have learned about this ancient culture.
