First Nations knowledge
Council, in partnership with First Nations peoples, supports the preservation and promotion of First Nations knowledge.
First Nations knowledge can be held, communicated and passed on in a wide variety of forms. Language, stories, song, art, dance and songlines are used to communicate important lessons of life, culture, craft, survival, navigation, pedagogy, and knowledge of science, agriculture, food and medicine.
Some of council's key programs supporting First Nations knowledge are:
- Kids in Action Program
- Sunshine Coast Council First Nations Art Collection
- Economic Development Tourism, Sport & Leisure Program
- First Nations Multilingual Signs
- Horizon Festival - First Nations Program
- Heritage First Nations Collection
- Sunshine Coast Heritage Discovery Guide
- Sunshine Coast Council Heritage Plan
- Fire Country Initiative
- First Nations Native Foods and Botanicals
- First Nations Parks, Trails and Public Art
