Traditional Aboriginal education had two main thrusts. On the one hand, children were given thorough, practical life skills training. Boys learned how to fish and hunt. Girls learned how to recognise food plants and vegetation suitable for medicinal use. The other aspect of education focused on historical, spiritual and moral issues. Students were taught about the origins of plants, animals, geographical features and, most importantly, people. Students also learned about the importance of honesty, generosity and the value of harmonious community relations.
