Hi
I work for Arthritis and Osteoporosis WA running a health focused website for children, families and teachers http://www.bonesandjoints.com.au/. I also update our Facebook page with interesting websites (usually related to health and wellbeing). https://www.facebook.com/bonesandjointsschool?ref=bookmarks
I am also interested in including aboriginal people in our audience. At the moment I haven't done so. Your website would offer good opportunities for both aboriginal people (obviously) and non-indigenous teachers (especially) to include these resources into their curriculum.
Recently, I visited Warakuna and had a terrific time - especially enjoyed the necklaces, baskets (with the emu feathers) and the paintings.
Regards
Trina
Thank you
