A Tapestry of Meaning and Beauty
The indigenous people of Australia, known as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, have a rich and ancient culture that spans tens of thousands of years. Their languages and traditions embody a deep connection to the land and the natural world. One of the most evocative aspects of Aboriginal culture is the use of names.
Aboriginal names are more than just labels; they are powerful symbols that carry deep meanings and connections to the individual, their family, and the wider community. They often reflect the natural environment, cultural traditions, and spiritual beliefs of the Aboriginal people.
