  4. Didgeridoo & Aboriginal Music MoreDidgeridoo

  5. Didgeridoo - continued • The didgeridoo is ancient instrument that is often painted and decorated • Clapsticks, didgeridoo, drums, boomerang, costumes and dance are all valuable parts of traditional ceremonies

  6. Aboriginal Culture • The Dreamtime is a creation myth that their world started empty and was created in a dream by supernatural beings – “Our beautiful world has been created only in accordance with the power, wisdom and intentions of our ancestral beings.” • Many different tribes – many dialects of language • Music is a long tradition in Aboriginal culture and a vital part of sacred ceremonies – traditional songs are used in telling and maintaining Dreaming stories

  7. Personal Connection I think that this song represents what it must feel like to live in an indigenousculture trying to fit into the modern world with very different values and beliefsbut living together and sharing dreams.
