• Exploring Aboriginal People’s Connection to Country to Strengthen Human–Nature Theoretical Perspectives ☆ In this chapter, ‘Aboriginal’ refers to Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people, as this is the preferred terminology of the peak body of Aboriginal community health (NACCHO, 2012). Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are members/descendants of Aboriginal cultures of Australia or the Torres Strait Islands, through identification and acceptance by the community. The Australian Human Rights Commission (2013) notes that Aboriginal peoples are the first inhabitants of Australia and are diverse in geography, language and tradition. ‘Indigenous’ refers to Traditional Custodian groups in the international context in accordance with international law to represent over 350 million people (Stephens, Porter, Nettleton, & Willis, 2006). However, it must be acknowledged that Traditional Custodian groups worldwide have their own unique practices, beliefs and knowledge systems.
