Clothes...we are very stylish!
Aboriginal people traditionally wore clothing made from natural materials such as animal skins, fur, and plant fibers. These clothes varied depending on the climate and environment of the region, but generally included garments like cloaks, loincloths, and headbands. Designs and decorations were often specific to each cultural group and held important symbolic meanings.
Today, Aborigines wear the same as Anglo-Saxons. However, in the past, Aborigines wore very little or nothing at all, even in cold regions such as Tasmania. In colder areas, they might wear kangaroo or possum skins, but mostly they covered themselves with ochre and animal fat. The Aborigines did wear various kinds of personal ornaments such as arm and head bands, necklaces, and bracelets. These were usually made from shells, bones, animal teeth and claws, or bits of feather and fur.
