Can you recommend some aboriginal dreaming literature for adults?

In adult literature, themes like the struggle for cultural preservation and the reclaiming of identity are common. These are presented in a more nuanced way, taking into account historical events and modern - day challenges. Children's stories, on the other hand, are more likely to use aboriginal dreaming elements to tell fun and imaginative tales. They might have a simple plot like a child's adventure in the bush where they encounter some of the spirits or elements from aboriginal dreaming, but not go into the deep - seated political and historical issues like adult literature.
