It is often known that Aboriginal symbols play a crucial role in Aboriginal history, culture, and art. Contemporary Aboriginal artists make good use of a range of Aboriginal motifs nowadays.

It’s important to keep in mind that context matters; Aboriginal symbols have fluid meanings that can be interpreted differently by many different people. Broadly speaking, Aboriginal symbols can be used to express stories around hunting and tracking, animals, connection to country, and people and community.
