How the World Was Created: The Dreamtime According to Australian Aboriginal Mythology

The Australian Aboriginal creation story, known as the Dreamtime or Dreaming, is a rich spiritual and cultural tradition that explains the origins of the land, animals, and people. According to Aboriginal belief, ancestral beings emerged from the earth during the Dreamtime, shaping the landscape and establishing laws for living. These stories, passed down orally for generations, are deeply tied to specific places and continue to guide Aboriginal identity, values, and connection to the land today.
