Oral history is central to Aboriginal culture and Dreaming Stories are an integral part of Aboriginal life. These stories are used to pass on knowledge and skills to children and adults alike. During the workshop, students will listen to Dreaming Stories about various animals and learn about the importance of these stories. They will discover the ways in which Aboriginal People have lived on the land, using native flora and fauna to hunt and gather.
