* Please note - we do not teach Aboriginal Australian culture, except when we have an Aboriginal staff member present. We mostly teach from our western science perspective with celtic roots. We have learnt these skills from Mentors from all over - Aboriginal Australians, Americans, Australians, our Celtic roots. All our ancestors, not matter where you are from, practiced these ancestral, primitive survival skills and they are not owned by any one culture, but borrowed and adapted over time from others. That's the beauty of being human.
