Explore First Nations’ Dreaming Stories

Storytelling is a sacred tradition shared by the First Nations people of Australia. Encourage your students to explore a Dreaming story that comes from your area’s Country.

Invite a traditional custodian of the land on which your school resides to share a Dreamtime story with your class. Students can complete the template after listening to the story.

Alternatively, choose a video from Common Ground’s Vimeo page. This is a collection of videos delivered by First Nations storytellers.
