Aboriginal culture
First Nations traditions
Aboriginal culture refers to the traditions, beliefs, art, and social practices of Indigenous peoples, particularly Australia's First Nations peoples.
The term encompasses spiritual connection to land, oral storytelling traditions, ceremonial practices, and kinship systems developed over tens of thousands of years.
The museum's exhibit on Aboriginal culture featured traditional dot paintings and didgeridoos.
In Australian contexts, the phrase often appears in discussions of heritage preservation and reconciliation.
