Abstract
Torres Strait Islander peoples have their own unique cultures and while many aspects of these have disappeared, been diluted or transformed over time the prevailing nature and values of these cultures still exert a strong influence on the identity of the people.
Games and pastimes of various descriptions have always been an integral part of the cultures in the Torres Strait Islands. Games traditionally placed emphasis on the development, preparation, and maintenance of physical skills of the children and youth, while the dances expressed more the core beliefs as well as environmental, communal, and personal happenings throughout life.
This bibliography has been produced to provide an awareness of play cultures undertaken by Torres Strait Islander peoples and to encourage further study of these as part of an understanding of the sporting heritage of Australia.
