Information

Aboriginal women foraged for fruit, roots, small animals, lizards, grubs, shellfish, seeds that were ground into flour, and any other foods that could be tracked down easily.

The aboriginal women were sufferers of racism, sexism, and many levels of of domestic violence. The justice system has done little to protect them.

Women traditionally played a central role within the aboriginal family, within the Aboriginal government and in spiritual ceremonies. Women figured centrally in almost all Aboriginal creation legends.
