An exploration of how the Dreaming permeates all aspects of Aboriginal cultures and daily living, about its relationship with land and its expression in the lives of Aboriginal people, and how this relationship is expressed across a range of media.
A study of Aboriginal spirituality: what it means, and its connection to the Dreaming, the land and Aboriginal cultural beliefs.
Unit 3: Protocols and Behaviours
An enquiry into what are considered to be the proper protocols and behaviours when initiating contact with Aboriginal people, Aboriginal communities and Aboriginal organisations.
This last unit involves a journey into understanding the nature of Country, the spiritual connection of the land and people in Aboriginal world views, recognising the custodianship of Country, showing respect for Country through appropriate behaviour, developing an awareness of other people as well as the environment, planning a walk through Country, and comparing this way of learning with other experiences of learning
