THE EFFECT OF DISPOSSESSION ON ABORIGINAL SPIRITUALITIES
- SEPARATION FROM LAND
- Loss of land = Loss of cultural heritage
- The loss of land amounts to a loss of
identity and the burden of not being able to
fulfill ritual responsibilities
- The loss of land has destroyed the system of totemic responsibilities
- Deprivation ofland resultsin a loss
of independence, culture, identity
and spiritual world
- Separation from the land is especially
problematic for Aboriginals due to:
- Ritualistic Association with the land e.g.
death & burial rituals are linked with the land
- Economic uses of land for Aboriginals
- Spiritual & personal identity of Aboriginal
people lies within their relationship within the
land
- Other aspects of Aboriginal culture a linked
to the land, e.g.stories, song & dance
- Ritualistic Association with the land e.g.
death & burial rituals are linked with the land
- Loss of land = Loss of cultural heritage
- SEPARATION FROM KINSHIP
- The forceful removal of indigenous children , who
were placed in institutions, and removal of
Aboriginal families from land, lead to
breaking down of kinship groups, loss of connection
- loss of identity, family links and culture
- Children grew up without learning about
Aboriginal life and spirituality (Resulted in loss
of: roles,religion, culture, ceremonies and
rituals)

these children into European society (It was a govt policy between 1950s
and 1972)
- Many Aboriginal children suffered
maltreatment,sexual exploitation,
inhumane working conditions and
degrading forms of humiliation
- Prohibition of traditional Aboriginal practices had a
detrimental impact on Land, Identity, Culture, Language,
Spirituality, Totems, Kinship and Ceremonies
- The loss of language has made
it impossible to pass on
beliefs in an authentic way
- Aboriginal children who were removed from their homes between the late
