You might like to track down some of Eric Michael's writings
on the Australian Aboriginals. There's a collection of
essays called 'bad aboriginal art' which isnt at all what
you might think from the title. I found it far more
informative that songlines, in fact, from memory, Michaels
crits songlines in one of the essays.
