Abstract

This study explores modern society’s acceptance and suggestion of the traditional Aboriginal culture in Australia. Although Australian Aboriginal culture includes a number of practices ceremonies centered on belief in the Dream-time, Aboriginal people were displaced from their ways of life to assimilate into Western culture after 18th-century settlement of the British. Nowadays, there is more done to ensure the survival of traditional Aboriginal cultural heritage for strengthening Australia’s national identity, social inclusion and economic benefits. In particular, traditional Australian games and sport would provide all Australian peoples with an opportunity to learn about, appreciate and experience unique aspects of Aboriginal culture. The consequence of this study suggests that ancient traditions and mysterious storytelling would be an integral part of the way of the promotion and development of traditional cultural contents in Korea.
