Modern Indigenous Culture
So many of us want to understand Aboriginal culture better – to know it is to understand that Aboriginal people in contemporary times still have important links to the Dreaming. However, what is really important is Aboriginal people are not ‘frozen in time’ and that like everything, in modern society, over time it has the possibility to reinvent itself, transform and still maintain it authenticity and originality within a cultural context.
