I'm not an aboriginal, But as far as I know the aboriginals that are still using their original traditions today Don't take photographs or view them. And as far as I know they believe that its highly disrespectful to view a picture of a person that has died after the photo was taken, Something to do with spiritual resting i think. Anyway, I hope this has helped. The above is most certainly true and also taking a picture is like stealing the soul of a loved one. However, just like our countries Native Indians more aboriginals have become modernized and will take pictures and take tourists on tours. There are more tribes of aboriginals that stick to themselves that still believe in the old ways, but even many of them will dress in modern clothing, but they are determined not to let their culture or belief system dwindle and practice it with great faith.
