Introduction
The Indigenous education particularly focuses on indigenous knowledge, models, procedures,
and content in the formal education system or non-formal educational systems. The
Indigenous groups are capable to reclaim the traditions and customs, and revalue their
languages. In this way, it is required to develop the learning success of the indigenous groups.
It will ensure their existence as the culture. In this report, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander Histories and Cultures, culture’s impact, and linguistic background of the indigenous
students on the education is discussed and examined.
Impacts of culture
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures priority renders chances to
all indigenous students to develop their awareness, understanding and experience of Australia
by getting the involvement in the with the old existing culture of the world. The students may
be able to know that modern Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander groups are solid, resistant,
rich, and different by the Australian Curriculum (Clifford and Shakeshaft, 2017).
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures priority utilises theoretical
structure to render the background for education. The structure contains the fundamental
features of the recognition and existing groups and the main idea of place, nation, principles,

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should assign their old-style information system,
various home-based languages, school science qualified in Standard English, and their own
