I need aboriginal facts ?

Question

I need some information for school about aboriginals. I just need some interesting facts now. Does anyone know some good facts? I'm in year 7 by the way, it's for a history project.
I already have things about the aboriginal flag, about babies, when aboriginals came to australia. I just need a few more ideas. help would be appreciated, thanks ! :)

Answer 1

How about the respect they deserve they they never got until today acknowleding the massacre of there land and the fact that in Schools they tell you about Aboriginal history But they leave out the Killing Massacre Rape Part

Answer 2

How about their beliefs about Creation known as "The Dreamtime." "Dreaming" is a mythological time period where an individual or group's spirituality is created, and the time that an individual exists before and after life as we know it.

Songlines are fascinating as well, they are paths across the land and sky that were followed by creator-beings, and are a way for Aboriginols to navigate the land by "listening" to the songlines.

I tried to find a better source than Wikipedia online but I'm sure you can find lots of published information. One book that was particularly helpful for me was

"Wise Women of The Dreamtime: Aborginal Tales of Ancestral Powers" K. Langloh Parker

http://www.amazon.com/Wise-Women-Dreamtime-Aboriginal-Ancestral/dp/0892814772/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1332256683&sr=8-1

Answer 3

I believe you will find some very interesting facts about the Australian Aboriginal People on the referenced website.
