Way of Life of the Aboriginal People
The natural environment was very important to traditional indigenous communities as it provided them with all their needs and connected them to their ancestors. The land is directly linked with the Dreamtime which is why Indigenous people do not see the land as something seperate to them. Having to look after the environment ensured tribes lived in a sustainable way. Indigenous people never took more than they needed and never destroyed environments. By living this way the environment would always be able to supply food, water,shelter,tools,art supplies and a home. They shared their knowledge with art,dances,ceremonies,song and stories.
