This is an introduction to how the First People grew to adulthood. This book covers the importance of practising skills for hunting and food gathering. The concept of the extended family as opposed to the nuclear family. And lastly, considers the belief systems which tie the tribal people together in unity.This book comes from the History of the First Australians Reader Series. An extensive research project was conducted over several years to compile the content for this series. The topics chosen were comprehensive and succinct to give an introduction to the many broad areas of study. The First Peoples were not a homogeneous group but waves of peoples forming different tribes and groups. Their response in terms of hunting and gathering differed based on climates, food supplies, and skills. The spread of the peoples and the extended period of settlement led to complex kinship structures, oral histories, dance and belief systems which were unique for each of these tribes. These topics covered in this reader series are an ideal discussion starter and introduction to many aspects of the First Australians.Beautifully illustrated with original art – these are an ideal addition to any Indigenous or reader series in schools. The content is suitable for any study of Indigenous Australians. A valuable resource addition to any school!Reading Recovery: Level 19Click on ‘Book Preview’ below to see inside Adulthood and Growing Up:Book Preview
