The Seven Sisters (Dreamtime story)

The Seven Sisters is a prominent Aboriginal Dreamtime story from Australia that explains the creation of the stars and the natural world. It tells of seven sisters, who are transformed into stars and chased across the sky by a hunter or a group of men. Their escape across the night sky forms the constellation known as the Pleiades. The story embodies themes of kinship, escape, and the importance of natural landscapes, and it reflects the deep cultural connection between the Aboriginal peoples and the land, illustrating moral lessons and the origins of celestial features.
