  1. Do you know the Aborigines were? They were the first to discover Australia. They thote land was very important.
    They should through their art they make. There pante was all made of earth subjects and the were all earth colers. They draw animals and plants, but sometimes they draw more than just that.
    They thote land belonged to everybody. Tee dreamtime made was one reason that made them think land belonged to everybody. They told storys that also made them think land belongs to everybody.
    They relied on the land for everything they own. There water they owned, and they need water to life. There food food they owned was also from the land, they also need food to service. They had a little bit of furniture, but all of there furnisher came from land. evin there clothes came from lan, and they need cloths to kver up their private spots.
    So now you know about the Aborigines were now you can go and teach someone else about them.

  3. he Aborigines are native people that live in the Outback and Australia. The land was an important part of their lives.

    The land was important because they had to get food and water. Surviving in the Outback was not easy, most of their time was spent obtaining food and water.The land was important because
    Dreamtime can tell stories and songs.Dreamtime was told using art and songs. Religious
    beliefs centered on Dreamtime.

    They thought the land was not just theirs everybody's! The Aborigines were nomadic,and traveled. They were travellers of Clans.Because the Aborigines had few possessions.

    Today, most Aborigines live in cities or work as stockmen, or people who look after livestock, on Outback stations. However, a small number still live much as their ancestors in the Outback did for thousands of years.

They used blood to make pictures. They used coconut for pictures. They thought the land belonged to everyone. they thought that the animals would have no habitat. They also thought that the animals wouldn't have water because they are scared of people cause they would shoot them. Also they followed them. So the Aborigines are Australia's indians.

  15. Do you know a few humans that were Australia’s first people? These humans/people are called the Aborigines. They do different parts and of how they live which is very different from us. They did parts back then when we weren't even born. Mrs.Becky wasn’t even born. They lived in Australia for a very long time.
    They loved to create art. One way they did it was by using their environment. It would inspire them to create their beautiful art. They would usually do it with bark, rocks or rock walls. Sometimes when they do art it would tell them about Dreamtime. Dreamtime there was when they did art and sang songs. Sometimes it is about animals, animal tracks, and even humans. They even have paintings on their bodies. One time this little girl said they looked liked zebras. They would have orange and white.
    They also believed that land belonged to everybody. They got their food, water, shelter and and more food like coconuts to paint with. I mean like duh, of course they would they would love land/nature. They believed that animals, plants and other humans needed land/nature like the Aborigines needed it.
    They had a lot of resources. They were very nomadic. Nomadic means that they traveled a lot. They hunters living in the Outback. They killed animals for food.

  18. The Aboriginals were people who depended on nature to survive. Aboriginals lived in Africa. Aboriginals are still alive today.

    They depend on resources so they could make paint to make art. Rocks are used to paint on.
    A rock is a resource.

    They did not believe land only belonged to them. It belonged to nature and creation. If they put their tents by the only lake. How would the animals survive? If the animals could not survive without water they would die and where would they get food.


    Land was important to them because of their art, their survival, and their food.

  20. The Aborigines were a group of people who traveled a lot. Did you know they lived in the outback in Australia? Some of them live now and some of them lived in the past. The Aborigines lived showing the land was important.
    The land is important to them because at Dreamtime they drew and sang. Dreamtime is the mythical time when ancestor spirits moved across the land and gave it form . Stories of Dreamtime were told in art & song.
    Also the land was important to them because without food they could die so they would travel around the outback and it would take millions of hrs to get out of the outback and to get food. So imagine how long it would take to get back.and if they didn’t get to travel they would not survive.
    They thought the land belonged to everyone. They say that it is not fair to others because some of them probably had lots of land and it did not feel happy they would probably feel jealous. We get jealous some times when someone has the last of something.
    So do you know more about the Aboriginals.

  24. The Aborigines were people that traveled at the outback.Some live today and some lived long ago.The Aborigines thought that the land was home to everyone they did not believe that people had there own property.The Aborigines were nomadic.

    The aborigines drew story’s on the land at dreamtime and sang the Aborigines believed in
    spirits and not God’s.If there was not land the Aborigines would not have been able to draw art on the land

    If there was not land the Aborigines would not have food or water and they could not survive.They had to travel and if there was not land they would die of thirst and food so they needed land.

  27. The Aborigines traveled for food and water. Some live today . They lived in the Outback in Australia. Land was important to them.

    The land was really important to the Aboriginals because their was herds of Buffalo they have to eat to survive and there's not much water to obtain.

    Also, the land was important to them because Dreamtime they believe how the spirits made the land.

    Also, they thought the land was everyone's not just theirs to hog and be greedy.

    That's why I think the land was important to the Aborigines.

  28. The Aboriginals are a group of people that travel to find food and water.They live in the Outback of Australia and have lived there for over 40,000 years before the Europeans came to Australia.

    They thought no one owned the land.That is why they are called a nomadic group of people.If they saw a bush of berries they would not camp there because they thought that it was not fair to the the animals.

    They put their art on land because they do not have paper,or paint board and they use their hands because they do not have pencils,markers,paint brushes,chalk,or colored pencils.
