ReplyDeleteAborigines are indigenous to Australia. When I looked at the pictures at first they looked like island people sort of like Indians. I didn't expect them to be Aborigines. Did you notice in the 5th picture it showed Australia? It also showed lots of mythical things painted on Australia. In the fourth picture it shows an man playing the didgeridoo. It take lots of practice to play the didgeridoo. As shown in picture two, most people were painted to face down.
ReplyDeleteAborigines have few possessions because they are semi nomadic. Semi nomadic means sometimes they stay sometimes they move. Most Aboriginal people move for food. Also for shelter. It is neat that they are semi nomadic.
Aboriginal people loved to tell stories usually orally passed down. But sometimes they would paint to show stories. Mostly they would paint the dreamtime. The dreamtime is a time when all the aboriginal peoples ancestors created everything.
Aboriginal people believe many things. But I thought this was neat they believed in a mythical time called the dreamtime. Where there ancestor spirits created all of creation. Almost every country has a mythical culture. It is very neat to research mythical beliefs.
Aboriginal people are very important to Australia. It is amazing to research Aboriginal people.

Aboriginal art tells the story of Deamtime- a period when, according to Aboriginal myth, everything was created. Breaking the Tapu was thought to bring serious consequences from the gods. Stories of Dreamtime were told in art and song. They aborigines are the native people of Australia. For over 40,000 years before the Europeans came to Australia, the Aboriginal people live in nomadic, or traveling, hunter gatherer clans. Surviving the Outback was not easy, and most of their time was spent obtaining food and water. It is thought that the Maori came to New Zealand around AD 1300 from an island in Micoesia. Many people on the islands of Oceania live in small villages where family relationships, or kinship, are very important. Makaila

They white stripes all over them to represent colors because they think colors are important. Aborigines are the semi-nomadic people of Australia.
ReplyDeleteFact one about Aborigines is that they are nomadic that means they move alot because they need to find food for the tribe or they’ll probably die because of hunger . They gather clans by moving and this helps the tribe not have to move alot .
Fact two is that they play the didgeridoo . The didgeridoo plays really unusual music I don’t know why they play it but it would be cool to find out. The didgeridoo is an tube like thing that makes it make that weird sound.
Fact three is that they carve weird stuff half human half animal. They used only there knives I bet it would take about five or six hours to carve it . The Indians used these carvings to show there emotions . Thats cool because they would have to spend over two hours on working on it.
The Aborigines are the natives of Australia which is hard life because Aborigines have to move a lot. Aborigines are the indigenous people of Australia. They are very interesting to study.

Aboriginal people do not live like this any more. When you go to the grocery store and see an stockman, they could be an Aborigine. They live in big cities. Although, they still take care of their ancestors. Today, in 2015, the Aborigines have a very different culture.
