ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Wurundjeri

Wurundjeri is a special name for a group of people who lived in a place called Melbourne, in Australia, many, many years ago. They were the first people to live in that place, before any other people came. The Wurundjeri people had their own language, culture, and traditions that were different from other peoples' cultures.

The Wurundjeri people used to live in tents made from bark and wood, and they would move around depending on the season and where they could find food. They would hunt and gather food like berries, nuts, and animals to survive. They would also use the water from the nearby rivers for fishing and drinking. The Wurundjeri people were very in tune with nature and knew a lot about the environment around them.

The Wurundjeri people would tell stories to teach their children important lessons and to remember important events. They also had special ceremonies and celebrations to honor the land and nature around them. They believed that everything in nature was connected, and they needed to take care of it so that it would take care of them too.

Today, we still remember and respect the Wurundjeri people and their culture. We learn about them in school and celebrate their traditions, and we try to take care of the land and nature around us too, just like they did.
