Aboriginal myths are concise sacred stories that convey cultural beliefs and the Dreamtime's creation narratives in Australian Indigenous cultures.
What is an Aboriginal myth?
An Aboriginal myth refers to a traditional narrative or story from the Indigenous cultures of Australia. These myths often convey the beliefs, spirituality, and cultural values of Aboriginal communities. Rooted in Dreamtime, a sacred era of creation, these myths explore the origins of the land, its creatures, and the spiritual connection between the Aboriginal people and their environment.
The stories are crucial for passing down cultural knowledge, maintaining identity, and preserving a rich oral tradition within Aboriginal communities.
