Non-Indigenous Australians often understand outdoor environments through frameworks of conservation, recreation, and science.
how do Indigenous and non indigenous people experiences and understands outdoor environments as a recreation

Recreation is associated with non-Indigenous
peoples’ ways to experience and understand

how do Indigenous and non indigenous people experiences and understands outdoor environments as a resource
In Outdoor and Environmental Studies, a resource can be described as something from the environment
that supplies, supports or aids humans in some way, and is often a source of income. The environment
has always played a part in providing resources in order for humans to survive, whether it is a source of
food and water, or for materials such as rock and timber for shelter.
Using the term ‘resource’ has connotations of taking from the environment to make money. This
is very much a non-Indigenous way to experience and understand outdoor environments. Indigenous
Australians have carefully and sustainably managed the land through fire-stick farming, fish traps and
sanctuary zones to provide the resources they needed to survive for over 50,000 years with very little
impact. However, when European settlers arrived just over 230 years ago, they perceived the land as ‘terra
nullius’, meaning a land belonging to no one. There has been a race to secure the natural resources of the
land ever since.
