Indigenous people were renowned for their knowledge of the lands and their appreciation for nature. They knew which fruits and plants possessed medicinal properties, or were appropriate for consumption. This allowed them to lead a healthy lifestyle with a wide variety of fresh foods in their diet. Indigenous people were nomads (moved from place to place, did not stay in one area) in order to allow the resources that they had used to replenish. Not only did they have an extensive knowledge of the natural flora and fauna, but they also held the environment in the highest respect. A common environmental management technique was the "fire-stick farming" technique that involved setting small, controlled flames in order to trigger the germination of various plants, reduce the amount of fire fuel in the Summer and replenish the soil with nutrients.
