Children's Songs

Songs that teach young ones about country, kinship, and proper behavior.

Children learn through songs that are age-appropriate versions of Dreaming stories. These songs teach children about their country, their relatives, proper behavior, and prepare them for the deeper knowledge they will receive as adults.

The children's songs plant seeds that will grow into full knowledge.
