Australian Aborigines  
     

The cultural and social world of Australian native peoples is one of the most ancient and complex system of our planet. The native cultural origin of southern continent goes back to more than 40.000 years b.C., accordingly to recent archaeological studies. It is a complex cultural system that by its nature gets continuously stronger and renewed in ritual and cerimonial expressions including chorus and music. Dreamtime (dreaming), main basis and motor of all native onto-cosmologic system, is daily told, lived over again and tried. This culture is continuously evolving, entirely far from death thought or the crystallization that a certain Occidental part wants to ascribe it. A culture that had first to bear repression and then assimilation imposed by a cruel anglo-european colonization which stole its most precious and basic treasure: their earth. Many of these wounds still exist today and the fight for human and social rights of native peoples is a first interest topic in Australian political diary. (Alberto Furlan)
