Aboriginal Children from the Northern Territory

Like everywhere in the world, Aboriginal kids are indulged by their parents, but the extended family is also very important. A child knows from a very early age who their relatives are, how they must be called with the correct kinship names and what their rights and obligations are with each one. They also learn their traditional dances and songs and are always encouraged to perform at the public ceremonies.

Childhood is a time without worries but children learn from an early age where to find bush foods, how to hunt and fish, even in a time where the supermarket fulfills most of their needs and all communities have schools.
