the
people,
the people of the rivers, valleys and mountains.
The Tata
people, also referred to
as the Goulburn River tribe,
occupy most of central Victoria.
The area between the camps
River
and Macedon ranges
to the upper reaches of the Goulburn River
and the affluent north of the great dividing range.
The ovens and broken rivers towards Mount Beauty
and from vanilla to the top of the great dividing range
here is a map.
The pink area shows
the
land
tag.
People identify themselves by ancestry, clan
or country as a whole.
They talk and represent these areas
with the duty to care and maintain
consists of 15 clans.
Currently, Tauron
people identify with five of the 15 clans.
Tata
is spoken by the Tata
people
and
are aboriginal languages of the
kin nation.
These languages are distinct to their clan,
although mutually understood by other clans in the cooler nation.
Communication between other clans was important
in holding joint ceremonies and cultural events.
On the APP store,
there is a app
on the Tata
language
which provides foundations
of the Tata
language.
Here are some common words and phrases
used by the
people.
Dreamtime stories exist
in the
people.
Although
there are many different versions among the
people,
this is due to the stories
being passed down through generations
through song, dance
and being explored.
The
people hold a common belief in the Dreamtime stories of Banjul,
the wedge
tail Engle
one guy,
the crow
they identify and connect with these two Maoris,
the
of banjo
and one
guy
decided the pattern for marriages within clans and tribes.
Members were to find spouses
from the opposite Maori,
either from distant clans
within or outside their language group.
This is the dream. Yeah, Dreamtime story of Ban.
After creating the mountains, rivers, flora, fauna
and laws for humans to live by,
B
gathered his wives and sons,
then asked Crow, who
had charge of the winds,
to open his bag
and let out some wind.
Crow opened a bag in which he kept his whirlwinds
and created a cyclone, which uprooted trees.
B
asked for a stronger wind.
Crow complied,
and B
and his people were blown upwards into the sky.
Bundle himself became the star
Alta and his two wives,
the black swans,
became stars on either side.
Here's a video with a link,
Um, on another B
story.
The Story of Fire. Here is another video that can be watched on the story of fire
read the changing seasons
through
their land by the natural cycles of weather plants, animals
and the passages of the stars.
The Seven Seasons in the year were identified as Eel wombat,
orcher season,
Tadpole glass, grass, Flowering Season,
Kangaroo, Apple and the dry Season.
A flood season would take place around every 28 years
and a fire season about every seven years.
In the summer and autumn,
the
Tauron people would stay in the cooler mountainous areas,
and in the winter and spring along the waterways
lived off the land and waterways.
Plants were a valuable source,
where they harvested yam daisies, Bracken, fern tree, fern, kangaroo
and cherry Bellet
on the side. Here is a drawing
of women digging roots of the
yam, daisies,
rivers, creeks,
true trees and flood plains provided an abundance of fish.
Wildlife, including birds, emus
and kangaroos, were hunted
In the spring. Bogo
moths were caught
due to their higher source of protein.
Summaries would take place when the BOGO mosques migrated to the area.
This is due to nego negotiations and robbery
between clans
to decide
how much could be taken.
Um depended on each clan's needs.
The
tag people nurtured and regenerated the land
by using fire.
This was to ensure that the next season
there would be an abundance of food.
Native possums were hunted,
carefully skinned, cleaned out
with a shell, then stretched.
Once the skin was dry, animal fat was rubbed into it. To make them more pliable,
these
pelts were sewn together
to make cloaks.
The plus level provided warmth and production
from the cold and wet conditions during winter.
Face skins
are a traditional item to the
people.
The cloaks are burnt and painted
with
oh,
telling the story of clans and country
mapping the identity
of their clans.
They were used for special occasions, such as birth celebrations,
robberies and funerals.
Newborn babies
were birthed into the cloak, and each year a
skin was added.
The cloak grew over time
with them
upon a person's death.
Their cloak was either buried with them or passed on to the next generation.
The
people used
natural resources available to them to create shelters and tools for hunting,
fishing and battle.
Stringy bark was weaved together to create shelters and baskets.
Fibres from
grass
were produced
intertwined,
which were used to weave nets to harvest boga
moss.
Spiny headed
sedge fibres were used to make eel traps.
Other tree species were utilised for their timber to create canoes,
water carriers, boomerangs, clubs, spears and shields.
It's
an eel trap,
the traditional non
returning boomerang,
the traditional returning boomerang and that is the modern returning boomerang.
It's quite different
and spears.
Many
people still live and participate in their community
and country.
As cultural heritage advisor, land management officers, educators and artists.
They educate, respect and celebrate the history, culture, language
and country of the
nation.
The taro
story spans thousands of years
within many places at the heart of the country,
from scar trees to rock shelters to rock art
and even the names of places we know today.
At Mount Buller
and Mount Sterling, there are scar trees where shields and canoes were carved,
and there are also stone artefacts where the
taro
people worked on stone to make spearheads.
Mount Tor
Brook was where bogo
moths were harvested in the spring
Camp Juga
was an ancestral ceremonial site,
however, today is used by
OEG as an outdoor education location
where
cultural sessions are run
to provide
students with the insights of the land and its first people.
Mansfield Visitors Information Centre
has the totem pole,
which features three elements the eel trap
Banjul
and One.
And there was also a scar tree where a canoe was carved out of
the
people welcome
people to their country to enjoy the landscapes, flora and fauna.
They will continue to care and respect for their country
and welcome all who share the same values of respecting and caring for the country.
The
Land and Water Council

such as
Victoria State Government,
the Environmental Land, water and Planning
Sector
parks, Victoria
Goulburn, Broken Catchment Management,
Mansfield Shire,
Mitchell Shire,
Miny
Shire
and the Strath Bogie Shire.
They also work with private landowners, developers and other stakeholders,
ensuring
the environmental and cultural heritage is preserved.
The council also developed projects to ensure
the economic, social and cultural well-being of their people.
Cultural events are run for the
Tauron people
through camps, activities and workshops.
They also develop resources that are used in libraries and schools
to raise cultural awareness in the community.
This is a video of
a reburial ceremony
between
NBN
and
the
people.
