<!-- ══ INTRO ══ -->
<p class="fs-intro">
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are the First Peoples of Australia. They are not one group but comprise hundreds of distinct Nations, each with their own languages, histories, and cultural traditions. Together, they are the custodians of the world's oldest living continuous cultures, with evidence of presence in Australia for at least 65,000 years. The experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are diverse and shaped by geography, community, and history.
