By: Fatima al Zayer

2 My goals I will talk about Australian aborigines :
Religion , food , clothing. I will talk about Australian Cultural heritage. We will learn about Australian animals:

3 introduction The original inhabitants of the continent of Australia took up residence there at least 40,000 years before Europeans landed at Botany Bay in In the late 1990s, they were a group of people struggling to claim rights to their traditional lands.

4 First: religion The religious world of the Aboriginal Australians is inhabited by ghosts of the dead, as well as a diversity of spirits who control particular features of the natural world, such as the Rainbow Serpent, who brings rain. Since the colonization of Australia, many Aboriginal people have converted to Christianity, either by choice or through the influence of education in mission schools.

5 Second: food Since many Aboriginal groups were nomadic hunters and gatherers, they did little in the area of food preparation. Meals were simple, as was their preparation.

6 Third: clothing Australian Aborigines were one of the only groups of people in the world not to wear any type of clothing. Both men and women went naked. Today, of course, things have changed and Aboriginals dress the same as Australians.

8 Cultural heritage In many Aboriginal societies men used a "bullroarer" to scare women and uninvited males at ritual events. The bullroarer is a decorated and shaped piece of flat wood. It is attached to a line and swung around above a person's head to produce a whirring sound. The sound is usually said to be the voice of important spirits of the land

9 Australian animals Here are some animals that are famous in Australia:

10 kangaroo

11 koala

12 The sloth

13 crocodile

14 Tiger snake

15 In the end Relations between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal inhabitants of Australia have not been very good. There is a great deal of anger on the part of many Aboriginal people for the treatment their families received from the European colonists.

16 I hope you enjoyed And thank you for listening… <3
