Compared to telling the real history and scaring children, it' s better to give children a ' dreaming time' and imagine a story with metaphor. The Rainbow Serpent will be a good example, the giant serpent is like a creator who makes mountains, valleys, people and animals. He set rules for people and told them to respect the land, care about each other and follow the rules. Otherwise people who break the rules are punished by the creator, resulting in natural disasters.

Therefore, The Rainbow Serpent aims to demonstrate the concept of Interconnectedness to people, and share resources and care about the environment in a imaginative way. Children will potentially learn about know Indigenous cultures and beliefs from the story. Foe example what the totems of those people look like. When children grow older and revisit the childhood story, they will come to understand the true meaning of the story.
