Songline Connections of Aboriginal Peoples on the East Coast
About
Aboriginal songlines are a unique development of Aboriginal cultures that celebrate the travels of the Creator Ancestors as they shaped the landscape. The identification of the Black Duck Songline and its possible connection to the Pleiades is an example of the potential reawakening of long-distance songlines in Australia and their connection to the cosmology of their communities.Speaker: Dr Robert S.
