Aborigines: An Cultural Description
The scope of this essay is to offer an objective description of the non-Westernized culture of the Australian Aborigines. This essay shall address and provide information relevant to the three relationships of cultural anthropology within Aboriginal culture. These three anthropological relationships are defined as the following: people and their environment (economic aspects of life), people and each other (social aspects), and people and the supernatural (religious aspects). For the purpose of a clearer illustration of the aforementioned, examples of customs exclusive to Aboriginal culture, and thus unique and interesting in nature, shall be cited interspersingly throughout the essay as well. As it is worth noting, the culture of the Aborigine as it is herein depicted is that which was in existence in the few hundred years just before European settlement occurred during the 16th century (Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia, sec. IV) and thus created an influential Western climate among the indigenous inhabitants. Hence, it is purely that traditional Aboriginal culture untouched by European hands that the researcher portrays in this essay.
