The area boasts the longest continuous surviving human culture in the world. Aborigines have been living in this region for at least 40,000 years. The descendants of these First Australians still live in Kakadu today. The Kakadu National Park staff always welcome you and on behalf of the Aboriginal traditional owners to Kakadu National Park and hope you will enjoy learning about culture, land and caring for country. Kakadu Park is a true cultural landscape. It was shaped by the spiritual ancestors of Aboriginal people during the Creation Time. The ancestors (first people) journeyed across the country creating landforms, plants, animals and Bininj/Mungguy* (Aboriginal people). They came with their laws to live by: ceremonies, languages, kinship's and ecological knowledge. They taught Bininj/ Mungguy how to live with the land and look after the country.

Kakadu and the Arnhem Land Escarpment contain one of the longest continuous records of rock art in the world, with around 5,000 recorded and identified galleries of Aboriginal paintings. Kakadu contains an uniqueartistical living cultural landscape of Aboriginal art. Ubirr and Nourlangie Rock are two of the most pristine public sites that feature Aboriginal Cultural Rock Art and previous dwelling shelters.
Approximately 50% of the land in the park is Aboriginal land under the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976, and most of the remaining area of land is under claim by Aboriginal people. Title to Aboriginal land in the park is held by Aboriginal land trusts.
