Evolution of cultural expression A) First people- The Australian  Aboriginal culture represents the oldest surviving culture in the world today.   The aboriginal is a Modern man evolved in Africa about 190,000 years ago, who eventually come to the Australia in 60,000 years ago. The word “aborigine” (with a little “a”) means one of the original native inhabitants of any country. B) The aboriginals are spiritual people with no intentions of harm. They were always into dance and spiritual aspect of it never wanted to change their culture that was older that the stone age and relatively isolated them from the rest of the world. Although lacking a formal written language, for thousands of years the aborigines have recorded their culture as rock art.

Changes A) The Aboriginal culture were unchanged by European influence for many decades up until in the 1940’s and the last traditional nomadic families moved away and settle to in the desert regions in the 1960’.  Over the past thousands of years, the aboriginal cultural style ceased or changed to European contact and passed down through generations and they were then considered “traditions”. They come to develop the spear thrower, and new stone tool technology. B)

Oppression or privilege today Most Aboriginal communities still live in squalor, subject to discrimination, unemployment and denial of basic services.

Conclusion In conclusion, we can appreciate how their culture never really changed. They managed to hold onto their culture even when facing others trying to eliminate them.

NOTES Aboriginal people are very religious and spiritual each group generally believes in a number of different deities, Aboriginal people do not believe in animism. This is the belief that all natural objects possess a soul. Dance is learnt and passed down from one generation to another. To dance is to be knowledgeable about the stories of the ancestral heroes. This allows large groups of people to demonstrate their clan rights in front of an audience. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, 'urban Aboriginal people were looking at revitalising their culture' through the Yelang Dancers and the Torres Strait Island Dance Group in South Brisbane.
