About Indigenous Temples in Australia

Indigenous sacred sites encompass the temples, ceremonial centers, sacred groves, mountains, mounds, and ritual landscapes of the world's first peoples — traditions far older than the named world religions. From the kivas of the Pueblo peoples to Aboriginal Australian songlines, the marae of Polynesia, the medicine wheels of Plains nations, the great Maya and Aztec pyramids, the moai of Rapa Nui, and the sacred mountains of the Andes — each site is bound to specific ancestral knowledge, language, and ceremony. Many remain active places of worship and cultural revitalization. Visitors should always approach with respect, follow local protocols, and observe access restrictions set by Indigenous communities and tribal authorities.
