Dreaming stories. For Quenten, Dreaming is his bible, an invisible
force that guides him through life and connects all things. Quenten is
a keeper of his ancestor’s Dreaming stories. It’s his role to hand this
knowledge down to the next generation, keeping culture and traditions
alive. Added to Quenten’s responsibility is the pressure of knowing
that he is witnessing the desecration and destruction of the last
remaining heritage and cultural sites on his traditional lands - sites
that are vital to the Dreaming stories and beliefs of his people.
Quenten Agius....”Stories have been told in many different ways, but the old people say the meaning still the same. The Dreaming story I’m telling come from my mother, and her father before her and his father before him. These stories, Dreaming stories of country, have been trusted to her to teach the next generation or the next descendants of the traditional owners of this country. Without being educated in the mind you would not know what the stories mean, now my mother has handed these stories down to me, now it’s my turn to do teaching of the stories down to my generation". ![]() ![]() Gudly Dreaming Irene Agius telling Dreaming story |
