Take a lesson in living history and learn more&nbsp;about the Aboriginal culture in Western Australia.

When it comes to experiences, Western Australia (WA) has it&nbsp;all: natural sights, bright city lights, and a taste for adventure.&nbsp;It can also be an educational experience if you immerse yourself&nbsp;in the history and culture of the WA Aboriginal people. Travel&nbsp;is, after all, part of gathering worldly knowledge&mdash;so why not&nbsp;go on an enriching journey to uncover the world&rsquo;s oldest living&nbsp;culture in WA? Here are three excellent ways to learn more&nbsp;about them.

GO ON AN ABORIGINAL-LED TOUR
Who better to educate you on the Aboriginal culture than one&nbsp;of the indigenous people? Aboriginal-led tours are not difficultto come by and are one of the best ways to learn more abou &nbsp;their history through their eyes. Aboriginal people practice&nbsp;oral traditions, meaning that their culture and history are&nbsp;passed down through stories and language from generation to&nbsp;generation. Hear all about their Dreamtime stories&mdash;unique&nbsp;stories and beliefs of different Aboriginal groups&mdash;in the&nbsp;outback as you walk the paths the ancient people used on their&nbsp;nomadic routes.
These Aboriginal-led tours will also bring you on a journey to&nbsp;discover ancient rock art and paintings and forage for native&nbsp;plants to concoct natural medicine. You&rsquo;ll learn all the wisdom&nbsp;passed down for generations, keeping the ancient culture alive.&nbsp;To ensure that you&rsquo;re getting the most of these tours, sign up&nbsp;with a company owned and operated by the Aboriginal people,&nbsp;such as Go Cultural Aboriginal Tours and Experiences&nbsp;Warrang-Bridil, and the Borrgoron Coast to Creek Tour.

STAY WITH THE ORIGINAL CUSTODIANS OF&nbsp;THE LAND
What better way to connect to the ancient land than by staying&nbsp;the night with the original custodians? There&rsquo;s nothing quite&nbsp;like having a meal, sitting under the stars by the fire, listening&nbsp;to Dreamtime stories, and experiencing the local way of life.&nbsp;Many accommodations are available, from roughing it out&nbsp;at the camps to a luxurious glamping experience. Mercedes&nbsp;Cove Exclusive Coastal Retreat is one of the more upscale&nbsp;accommodations on the heritage-listed Dampier Peninsula in&nbsp;WA. Enjoy ocean views from your room and head out to the&nbsp;private beach for a swim. Within the accommodation are two&nbsp;eco tents, a two-bedroom chalet, and an open-plan sleeping&nbsp;accommodation, all of which fits 24 guests at a time for privacy.
Karijini Eco Retreat is another accommodation on native&nbsp;land that is perfect for you to experience Aboriginal culture&nbsp;comfortably. Located in the Savannah Campground&nbsp;within the Karijini National Park, this is the most upscale&nbsp;accommodation in the area, offering deluxe furnished eco&nbsp;tents with en suite bathrooms. Within the grounds is also an&nbsp;alfresco restaurant open all day for delicious bites featuring&nbsp;quality local ingredients. Make this your haven to retreat for&nbsp;the day after an adventurous day out, exploring the national&nbsp;park and witnessing the Aboriginal l Karijini Eco Retreat and firsthand.

VIEW ANCIENT ABORIGINAL ART AT&nbsp;NATIVE GALLERIES
There&rsquo;s something truly spectacular about&nbsp;viewing the roots of the land&rsquo;s people eternalised&nbsp;in the grand museum of arts&mdash;and when it comes&nbsp;to Aboriginal art, there are plenty of ways to&nbsp;appreciate it. Within the city is the Art Gallery&nbsp;of Western Australia (AGWA) in Perth,&nbsp;showcasing amazing art depicting the stories and&nbsp;history of the indigenous people. The rooftop&nbsp;section, particularly the 34-metre Aboriginal&nbsp;art, is a star piece.
Also in Perth is the WA Museum Boola&nbsp;Bardip, which translates to &ldquo;many stories&rdquo; in&nbsp;the traditional Nyoongar (one of the Aboriginal&nbsp;people of WA) language. Old and new come&nbsp;together in this museum to depict the ancient&nbsp;history of the Aboriginal people through stateof-&nbsp;the-art technology and interactive exhibitions.&nbsp;Sticking to the oral tradition of passing down&nbsp;stories, the museum practices a &ldquo;people-first&rdquo;&nbsp;approach by putting the perspectives of the&nbsp;Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in&nbsp;their exhibitions.
While civilisation may continue to evolve and&nbsp;the world is eventually taken over by technology,&nbsp;it&rsquo;s crucial to keep ancient cultures alive, so we&nbsp;never forget our roots in humanity. Learning&nbsp;and spreading knowledge help keep this ancient&nbsp;culture alive in our world&mdash;and you are part of&nbsp;the process.
