Gatherer

Artwork by Nathaniel Chapman

Throughout all our countries, First Nation communities thrived in harmony with the land. While the men hunted with spears, the women rose with the sun, gathering essential food from the earth. They ventured throughout the landscape, collecting berries, tubers, and fruits, filling their baskets with nature’s bounty.

Whilst taking care of the children and teaching them about their heritage, they built sturdy huts and lit fires that brought warmth and safety, ensuring their living spaces were organised and protected. In this balance of roles, the women’s dedication and hard work in the background sustained the community, highlighting their vital contribution to the survival and culture of our people.
