Aboriginal Dress

Aboriginal dress refers to traditional clothing worn by Indigenous peoples of Australia, often rooted in cultural practices, environment, and spiritual significance. It includes items like body paint, woven fibers, and adornments made from natural materials such as feathers, shells, and ochre. These garments and decorations are used for ceremonies, storytelling, and social identity, reflecting unique cultural heritages and connections to land and ancestors. Modern adaptations may blend traditional elements with contemporary fashion, but the core purpose remains an expression of cultural identity and respect for ancestral traditions.
