| Much
of Aboriginal history and tradition were taught by oral communication
and a large portion of their culture disappeared with the deaths
of hundreds of Aborigines. The Aboriginal groups that we see today
are those which survived the 'European invasion' and the remains
of their culture can still be seen. Many people have tried to rebuild
these cultures and keep it alive for the future generations. |
In order to understand Aborigines today it is important to understand
their traditional culture, as it is their culture which makes
up their essence and provides a foundation for their current
identity. It is a link to over 40,000 years of heritage.
