aboriginal culture
First peoples' heritage
Aboriginal culture refers to the traditions, beliefs, practices, and social structures of indigenous peoples, particularly Australia's First Nations peoples.
The term encompasses spiritual connection to land, oral traditions, art, ceremony, and kinship systems developed over tens of thousands of years.
In Australian contexts, it's often capitalized: Aboriginal culture includes the world's oldest continuous artistic traditions.
The phrase appears in discussions of heritage preservation, land rights, and reconciliation.
