Torres Strait Islanders are proud of their unique culture and both the older and younger generations strive to retain it. Known as Ailan Kastom, it is a source of unity and strength, bonding Torres Strait Islanders throughout the region and on the mainland. Where possible Torres Strait Islanders maintain their traditional way of life, depending on marine resources for their daily existance. Hunters and fishermen, Torres Strait Islanders traditionally lived on a diet of dugong, turtle and fish as well as wild pigs and fruit and vegetables from their gardens. These resources are still an essential component of Torres Strait Islanders' diet on a daily basis and at feastings. Communities regularly gather to celebrate their culture with large feastings followed by singing and dancing. Men, women and children all partake in the dancing and the styles and costumes vary within the Torres Strait. The art and sculpture is also very distinctive and many successful Torres Strait Islander artists combine traditional motifs and forms with contemporary styles. The TSRA is currently lobbying for the establishment of a museum in the Torres Strait which could house many Torres Strait Islander artefacts collected by A.C. Haddon during his archaeological expedition in 1898, which are currently displayed and stored in museums throughout the world. These artefacts include masks, ritual objects, dance accessories, weapons, domestic objects and textiles which are symbolic as well as decorative. Community leaders and elders place great emphasis on passing on all aspects of their culture to young children to ensure its survival throughout future generations. One of the TSRA's aims is to strengthen the cultural development of the Torres Strait and to bring self determination to Torres Strait Islanders based on the unique Ailan Kastom.
