Boree

/bɔːˈriː/ noun

Definition

An Aboriginal Australian gathering or assembly, traditionally held for ceremonies, celebrations, or important community meetings.

Etymology

From Australian Aboriginal languages (likely from Noongar or related language groups), referring to a corroboree or public gathering with ceremonial significance.

Kelly Says

A boree served the same social function as a town meeting or festival in European cultures—it was how Indigenous communities reinforced law, celebrated survival, and passed down stories that encoded thousands of years of knowledge.
