I've never heard of that and I don't believe it to be true. Indigenous Australians were literally prehistoric before the arrival of Europeans, and the factual truth of that statement isn't in question. A culture that held the belief that it had to record everything for the sake of existence itself would have developed a historical record; they did not.
Arguably the modern West holds that belief today. How often will you see an individual deny something happened unless the claimant can provide evidence that it did?
