Develop relationships and invite Elders and Traditional Owners to your school or early learning service to speak to students and staff about their histories and cultures. 

Elders are community members who can speak, and share certain knowledge, with the highest level of authority. 

Traditional Owners can speak with cultural authority about the Country and land on which your school or early learning service is situated.
