The Didgeridoo has a sound that is a low-pitched drone. It has a haunting and mysterious quality that draws the listener into the history, culture and the ancient dreamtime of the Aboriginal people. The didgeridoo is commonly considered the national instrument of Aboriginal people, and it is claimed to be the world's oldest wind instrument We will listen to several examples of didgeridoo in class. Aboriginal Music

5 TRADITIONAL ABORIGINAL ART
Dreamtime Stories: Australian Aborigines created stories to teach others about Dreamtime-the creation. These stories taught about life, love, marriage, hunting, gathering, warfare, and death. Storytelling, along with art, singing and dancing, was the traditional way to educate about their history, cultures, and laws. The "Dreamtime", the mythological past, was the time when spirit ancestors had travelled throughout the land, giving it its physical form, and setting down the rules to be followed by the Aboriginals.

6 Stories of the Dreamtime

11 How the Maori came to New Zealand
Aeotearoa – land of the long white cloud According to Maori, the first explorer to reach New Zealand was Kupe. Using the stars and ocean currents as his navigational guides, he ventured across the Pacific on his waka hourua (voyaging canoe) from his ancestral Polynesian islands homeland of Hawaiki. It is thought that Kupe made landfall at the Hokianga Harbour in Northland, around 1000 years ago. Note: Kupe may have come from the Cook Islands or even Hawaii.
