Abstract

Australia is home to many unique and fascinating animals, many of which are present in the Aboriginal Dreaming Stories. For the Aboriginal people of Australia the Dreaming is the origin of all their traditional beliefs: the Great Spirit Ancestors came out of the earth and created the land and all its features. Concepts and beliefs, specific cultural practices and histories have been passed on from generation to generation through the oral tradition. The aim of this article is to enhance the importance of stories in the students’ education and openness to other cultures, in this case the Australian Aborigines’ beliefs and way of life
