South Primary School, Wick
Red Centre Dreaming visited South School on Wednesday 22 May 2002 to introduce the children to aboriginal culture.
The members of Red Centre Dreaming then paused to introduce themselves using their traditional names . There then followed an outline of some background information about Aboriginal Australia,
Having
demonstrated a traditional song, it was time to
explain the meaning and purpose of the music and dance. Many traditional
dances and songs are inspired by the animals that live together with
Aboriginal people on the land from which Aboriginal culture derives so
much of its meaning. There followed short
demonstrations of the Malu (Kangaroo), Kasiwerin, Freshwater Eel and Emu
dances, with a short explanation of their origin, use, what they represented
and story within the dance.
