One of the main issues with the way our culture is represented is that men are seen as Aboriginal, while we are always Aboriginal women. Unless something is specified as a female object it is likely to have an image of a man next to it as an example. So here we have...
...a case which shows women's objects from the south-east on one side and mens on the other. I particularly like this case because it holds clubs, something that would generally be viewed as male, but is actually used by women.
This is because women hunt as well. There were no distinctions between who did what, we are both capable of hunting animals so why wouldn't we? In Tasmania in particular, Aboriginal women were expert seal hunters and used clubs like this to catch them.
