Aboriginal
society had a strict legal system that was recorded orally
in the Dreaming. The Dreaming established social, moral and
religious values which were taught daily through the use of
music, song, dance, storytelling and daily interactions with
each other. As children grew older they went through various
initiation stages where they were taught more about the laws.
|
The law was the most important aspect of Aboriginal society
as it dictated rules about food, marriage, family responsibilities,
initiation and keeping the peace. There were set processes for
how things were to be done for example ,the procedures involved
when receiving guests, learning correct dance movements, relations
between genders and the distribution of land. |
