'The land is our food, our culture, our spirit and identity' http://aboriginalart.com.au/culture/dreamtime2.html
“The Dreamtime is the Aboriginal understanding of the world, of it's creation, and it's great stories. The Dreamtime is the beginning of knowledge, from which came the laws of existence. For survival these laws must be observed.” http://aboriginalart.com.au/culture/dreamtime2.html
“Dreaming stories pass on important knowledge, cultural values and belief systems to later generations. Through song, dance, painting and storytelling which express the dreaming stories, Aborigines have maintained a link with the Dreaming from ancient times to today.” http://www.cultureandrecreation.gov.au/articles/indigenous/dreamtime/
