Aboriginal Australian literature

Aboriginal Australian literature encompasses stories, poems, and songs rooted in the rich cultural traditions of Indigenous Australians. It reflects their connection to land, ancestors, and spirituality, often conveyed through oral storytelling that preserves history and knowledge. In contemporary forms, these works explore identity, history’s impact, and ongoing cultural resilience. The literature offers insight into Indigenous perspectives, blending ancient traditions with modern expression, and plays a vital role in preserving and sharing Aboriginal culture and worldview with broader audiences.
