ABORIGINAL PEOPLE

The Indigenous Aboriginal cultures of Australia are the traditional custodians of Australia. They are believed to have been in Australia for more than 50,000 years. Today most live in the cities, but a few thousand still try to follow a traditional way of life.



Traditionally they had few possessions and made everything they needed. The well-being of the land and its plants and animals are vital and sacred to aboriginal people. 

They have tools for digging, cutting, and hunting. Boomerangs are the most popular one and are made of wood.
Aboriginal people also play music and dance. The didgeridoo may be the word’s oldest wind instrument and is made from hollowed-out tree branches.

Australian Aboriginals used their art to tell stories through symbols and icons. 

The stories are to share knowledge of the land, events, and belief. They use “Earth Colours” and Dot painting is one of the most popular styles.
