Aboriginal Beliefs
... religion revolves around their sacred mythology known as “The Dreamtime”. The Dreamtime specifically refers to the period of time when the creators made the territory of a tribe and all it contained. It was a period when patterns of living were established and laws were laid down for human beings to follow. The Dreamtime is linked with many aspects of Aboriginal practise, including rituals, storytelling and Aboriginal lore, and explains the origin of the universe, the workings of nature and the nature of humanity, and the cycle of life and death.

... imposing bearing of a “gentleman”, which entailed, in those days in the South, a challenge to a duel in responses to any grave insult, or otherwise with whipping or caning (Morris, Introduction).

(pg.53) This shows how Christians tried to change the Africans beliefs to accommodate their own without even thinking of how closely related they were.
