Batavia Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation represents three Traditional Owner clan groups, the Northern Kaanju, Atambaya and Yinwum, in landholding interests in northern central Cape York Peninsula. We hold legal title to Batavia Downs Station, part of which we co-manage with Queensland Parks for conservation. We have an active and keen team of community rangers. Our main initiatives are in cultural burning, and developing opportunities with bushfoods and ornamental plants. In this presentation we will describe some of the types of plants that grow on our Country, and why these foods and plants are important to us culturally and for our future. ‘Bush tucker’ encompasses a variety of native plants, animals, and fungi, which Aboriginal people have sustainably harvested and utilized for millennia. Bush tucker holds immense significance for Indigenous Australians , as it represents a deep connection to the land and our cultural identity. It continues to provide nourishment, healing, and raw materials for tools and ceremonial objects, reflecting our traditional knowledge and practices. Seasonal occurrences and ecological importance of bush tucker is deeply embedded in our rituals and stories. This connection to the land is preserved through various practices, including foraging, cooking, and the use of native plants for both culinary and medicinal purposes. In this presentation we will talk about how we are working with them, and the community learning and benefits.
