Bangerang 
The Bangerang people traditionally occupied the Murray/Goulburn region, inhabiting an area spanning from just south of Shepparton, across to Echuca in the west, up to Deniliquin (NSW) in the north, and from Finley to Katandra in the east. The Murray River was and still is our lifeline. It offers many forms of food such as fish, yabbies, muscles and crayfish. On the land, we traditionally lived off food such as kangaroos, emus, birds and ducks. These foods were all close at hand and our people didn’t have to move or travel far for their food sources. We had the resources around to make our weapons, tools, and nets to catch our food.
We would like to acknowledge all of the communities contributing to the Discovery Maps ‘Tools and Technology’ content. These include the Elders; Storytellers; Songmen and Custodians of the Ḻiya Dhälinymirr; Wamba Wamba; Bangerang and the Barkandji; Mutthi Mutthi and Ngiyampaa Peoples of the Lake Mungo region. Students are invited to journey across the land, engaging with each community on Country, exploring the cultural knowledge passed down from generation to generation.
This unit provides students with the opportunity to develop an understanding of the history and principles of aerodynamics and how to apply these when generating, modifying or communicating designed solutions. Explore how First Nations perspectives influence the development of scientific knowledge with a close look at some of David Unaipin's inventions!
