Almost always, traditional indigenous art relates at the time of the mythological dream, which goes back up in 500 years. Several modern purists maintain that if a work does not have a spiritual side, then this is not "true" indigenous art.Wenten Rubuntja, an indigenous painter of landscapes says that it is difficult to find an art which is exempt from any spiritual contents. Art was a key element in indigenous culture. It served for marking the territory, for bringing back events where to tell stories.Rare ochre tinctures also acted as currency of exchange in the north of Australia.
