Great and Small Kindred Creatures in Indigenous Australian Art

Animals have played a central part in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and spiritual beliefs for over 60,000 years. Native fauna form an integral part of relationships with Country, in community, and are a foundation of economies, identity, and sustainability.

Over many millennia of co-existence, animals have been central to survival as a food source for First Nations people. They are also absorbed into lore and culture as images of totemic power, and into the ancestral creation stories that link people, land, and animals. ‘Great and small’ is a celebration of these connections.
