THE ABORIGINAL CREATION MYTH

[@rareone5041]

As an Aboriginal person, I’ve never heard this one before, but in saying that there are many many tribes from all over Australia that have their own creation stories. Do your research if you really wanna know, don’t just believe one story!

[@monkeypie8701]

From wikipedia: The Arrernte (/ˈʌrəndə/) people, sometimes referred to as the Aranda, Arunta or Arrarnta, are a group of Aboriginal Australian peoples who live in the Arrernte lands, at Mparntwe (Alice Springs) and surrounding areas of the Central Australia region of the Northern Territory. Many still speak one of the various Arrernte dialects. Some Arrernte live in other areas far from their homeland, including the major Australian cities and overseas. So this is ONE Arrernte myth

[@krissutton3823]

Also as an Aboriginal person from the east coast, never heard this one before. It would be awesome if you could identify the nation this Dreaming story came from, just as you identified the Inuit, Navajo and Iroquois for their stories from North America.

[@Broþar]

I will identify it soon

[@krissutton3823]

@@Broþar I'm impressed - it has only taken 2 years for a clarifying reply. Please make sure that you include the little details like nation or language group. Colonisation has taken so much from all Australian Aboriginal peoples. To all be lumped into one bucket and generalised is what has helped to destroy our various cultures. It is like the word didgeridoo - it isn't the correct term (it is Anglicised), but one of the correct names is yidaki which is from the Yolngu people.

Haha! The "pole" is the same thing as other cultures call the "Silver cord".t is the energetic line that connect the physical, 3 dimensional body to the "Creator/Spirit". It is said that when we have an "out of body" experience, we can see a silver ribbon like object floating from the center of our body up to our etheric or spirit body that is "taking the trip". The "Pole" or "Silver cord" is like a hard drive where all the history of the planet and of the individual's lifetimes is stored.

Prior to invasion by the Europeans there were over 400 countries of Indigenous people in Australia. The Dreaming stories are as diverse as you would expect from over 400 countries. This is just one version of a creation story but there are many, many more. In some tribes the women were gatherers and collecters, in others they stood beside the men as they fought the wildlife to eat and survive. It is far easier to focus on the local country to gain an understanding of what people in your local area believed and how they lived. I live in the Darkinjung country which is about an hour north of Sydney

[@sxarx]

No, there are many different creation stories, because there are many different aboriginal peoples and nations

[@guitarra-simplista]

I borrowed a book from the library with a different Aboriginal creation myth. Maybe there was more than one story. I read that Baime was the one God and he created the first man out of the dust and then he created the first female from the Coolabah tree to keep him company. This myth apparently is from the south east. The myth also told that Baime created the first two humans as vegetarians apparently and that their first sin was to eat meat. Can anyone with knowledge clarify if this myth from the south east has any hidden message. What I mean is, I am wondering if the word myth means to have a secret meaning. Greek myths had a secret meaning and I am wondering if Aboriginal myths did also.

[@rhys5987]

+Brook Renwick There are 227 tribes in Australia

[@guitarra-simplista]

+Rhys Nagas really. that many.

[@SpaceCreators11]

+Brook Renwick Yes there is one tribe that has seventeen other tribes bordering it alone. So yes as you can imagine geographically some are larger than others and the languages differ a little sometimes and there are also vast differences in landscape, animals flora and fauna. So depending on interpretations from aboriginal languages to Forms of English, translations can even change and alter the wording

[@trbackwards8012]

+SpaceCreators11 the didgeridoo is Irish(word) and means black piper (Funny cause in Ireland traditionaly the word used to discribe black skined folk is blue(gorm)as black man would mean the devil and out of respect they would be referred to as blue men) and the natives in oz have many lovely words for it that means wooden book.

[@WrestleManiaMan1000]

Cold Water You couldn’t be any more wrong. The Enuma Elish, The Epic of King Khufu, and The Tale of Noah all give semblance to this Kangaroo story. And if you actually know what a Myth means, a Myth is a folk tale to describe an actual significant event that happened in the world. And when you have multiple stories with similar themes, generally it is describing a world event that everybody knew about. It’s all allegory alluding to a portion of time in history.

Well not quite, all creation stories are one in the same, as they are ALL based on Astrology and the Zodiac, and to be precise the oldest people were the Sesh, these were the first 42 tribes of Afrika, these tribes consisted of all races of Man we have on our PLANE today, they were all in one place at the same time and then they spread out. The plane then, was one land mass know as Khemit. We are ONE PEOPLE divided by KNOWLEDGE.

This sounds crazy. Like buckets of crazy. Yet so many people believe that one guy, who is really three guys, got together and spoke everything into existence. Then a talking snake convinced a woman to eat a apple, and that is why bad stuff happens. Things got too bad for god, so he flooded the earth, not before putting two of everything on a boat for a year, and THEN decided thousands of years later that he would send himself to die for himself so people could be "saved."

[@v1e1r1g1e1]

OF course, then there's the other story... which I shall tell with exactly the same amount of accuracy and respect as you told the Genesis account. Once upon a long time ago, no one is too sure when, there was this great big Bang. Everything came from that, including time and space. Eventually, things settled down and a lot of stars formed... planets, too. On one of those planets there were lots of chemicals in a soupy sort of goo, although no one was there to see that happen. Then something happened and the goo transformed itself into self-replicating helixes. These helixes managed to survive for millions of years in the goo, and nothing bad happened to them, until they eventually managed to make protective walls around themselves because they somehow could. Then the cells' DNA changed again, because it just did, and then the cells became multiple cells. Over time, things happened that made the DNA change again and again, because it just did... and then plants and animals formed in order to maximise the chances of the DNA helix's ability to survive. As time wore on, there appeared humans. There. And all this happened cos it just did.

Lovely video and animation but why is this being called a Myth? I'm not an Indigenous Australian, and I don't believe in the existence of deities, but I would never call a Christian, Jewish or Muslim's creation story a myth (well at least not in public) as it would offend them. KZbin is as public as it gets. We should respect the oldest culture in the world and call it their story. Not their myth. :) Just a suggestion. Not meant to be confrontational just something to think about.

[@GentlemanLife-Beyotch]

Many call creation stories a myth, regardless of religion. Nothing new...

[@matthewc.6327]

I don't understand

[@alconvin2334]

"Dreamtime" is a clumsy translation of how many Australian aboriginals think about myths. The noun Altjira means an eternal being, like Lee Marvin from Night Vale. The verb altjirerama can mean 'to dream', but also to 'see god', stemming from the idea that dreaming consists of seeing things that are real, but have no connection to our world, like other dimensions separated from our own not in space but in time. Karora is a bandicoot spirit in the Dreamtime in the sense that the above story happened long long (or far far in the future) ago in a part of Australia far far away (I think), such that it isn't the creation story of our world, but a kind of sur-reality that the storyteller superimposes on the present from either end of time. It can be seen as what reality is in both the far future and far past, so distant that things have changed beyond recognition. It can also be seen as a non-conscious reality that a soul exists in before and after mortal/physical existence, from which ancestral law, memory, and culture derive. Because of the second meaning, ancestral law, memory, and culture is said to be that group's Dreaming.

Honestly some of these comments are coming across as quite ignorant and disrespectful... Take a step back for a second and realise we are dealing with the opinions, perceptions and interpretations of a mind from a time where things were far different than your facebook feed!... You can't just decipher any encrypted code with our usual way of thinking now can we? When dealing with the Interpretations and opinions of people we might not even understand, trying to gather enough information to form a conclusion image of what took place and for what reasons, we need to be more careful to not lock ourselves into closed minded thinking. Being too confident that we are correct or will be correct, tends to make us humans slip up and miss a few things ;) Might I add, some history is lost forever and might be the key parts to unlocking the bigger picture and sometimes we accept things as truth then let it change outcomes and observations for years to come without realising it was false. I can swear that I remember someone telling me Kangaroos were transported here from China, also that the native people traded their boomerangs with foreigners. I wonder whether that might be the reason someone thought to remember it as a man turning into a kangaroo...? Our 21st century logic doesn't apply to old stories, nor help us understand them...
