Abstract:
I will begin by providing a brief outline of the all-encompassing worldviews of Indigenous Australian ways of being in the world, which include the importance of place, language, and what have come to be referred to, in a very simplified way in English, as “Dreaming narratives”. I will then provide an historical and contemporary account of some of the consequences of British colonisation in Australia, before turning to a discussion of the way in which Indigenous Australian art, and Indigenous Australian language maintenance, are seen as two important ways of retaining a complex series of cultures and ways of being in the world that struggle to survive – due to hostile external forces – to this day.
