Art

The Dreamtime is a notion used to describe key aspects of Aboriginal spiritual beliefs and life. 
According to Aboriginals, it started at the beginning of time. The Spirits created both the land and the people. They are said to have given them their hunting gear, as well as each tribe's land, totems, and Dreaming.
The Aboriginals believed that their Ancestors created the entire world in the Dreamtime. The Aboriginal artwork reflects on this idea and connects it to the people's rich origins and myths.

Dance

Aboriginal dance has been a ceremonial and traditional element of Aboriginal culture for thousands of years,

Indigenous Australian tribes used dances to express their spirituality, and each group had its own set of customs for performing and organizing these dances.

Traditional Aboriginal dancing served many purposes, including telling stories that had been passed down through the years. The country, animals, Dreamtime, and Aboriginal people would be the subjects of these narrations. Aboriginal dancing often includes animal impersonations to help the storytelling and bring the Dreamtime to life.
The dances could also be utilized as a form of initiation or to commemorate a life transition.
