Direct Quotation from the text

 

“Aboriginal groups in Victoria shared a feeling of connection with the land.” (Gott, 1997, p.6)

 

 

Paraphrase

(Retaining the same ideas and information from the source but put in your own words)

 

Aborigines in Victoria agreed that they were linked to the earth. This idea went back to the time of the making of the world called the Dreaming. In that period, the life-force of the ancient relatives wandered the land and there are signs of their route all over the earth. For instance, a rise may have been the spot where an ancient relative paused and rested. (Gott, 1997, p.8)

 

 

Summary

(Condensing the information in your own words)

 

Gott (1997, p.12) states that aborigines believe their ancestors formed the landscapes that we see today.

 

Note for Bibliography
