The Dreaming is embedded in all aspects of life and is intrinsically connected to kinship, obligations to land and people and ceremonial life. Kinship is a complex system of belonging and responsibility within a clan. It is not only based on familial relations but also totem relations. Kinship ties govern day to day activities as they govern basic rules such as assigning the responsibility to transmit the knowledge of the Dreaming from the elders to the younger generation.
Rituals:
Rituals are a moment of reliving in the present moment, the creative activities of the ancestor spirits. The ancestors are made present through the people, objects, words and movements of the ritual. For example, the smoking ceremony is used to heal and cleanse.
