Why should Indigenous literature be learnt by year 7 students? Here is an answer, think about the Dreamtime stories. The Dreamtime are stories made by the Aboriginals long, long ago. These aren’t just any stories, though, each and every Dreamtime story has a moral or a lesson behind it. This is how the Aboriginals were taught and educated for a very long time. For example, “Mirram the Kangaroo and Warreen the wombat” this story teaches us the consequences of being selfish. Warreen was being selfish but not letting Mirram into his gunya when it pouring down rain outside. Mirram hit Warreen with a rock to the face, Warreen was furious so he threw a long spear into his back, they never talked again. This is why we have to be nice to one another.
