They believed they were an element of a much greater entity
called nature. Nature to the Aborigines was the environment in
which they lived and everything in it, living or non-living. They
realized the importance of nature and sought to preserve it. They
expressed closeness to nature through totems, or affiliations
with a particular aspect of nature, which in turn shaped their
mythologies and their vision of the world. >>
I think the most unusual thing I ever read about Australian Aborigines was in
some anthropological material when it was recounted that when the so-called
civilized society encountered one group there was a woman who was a deaf
mute. Some unusual scars she had on her abdomen were questioned. It was
explained that since they thought her problem could have been passed to her
children, they had removed her ovaries. Apparently she had survived the
operation without any problem. Strange. Prudy

CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
