Aboriginal And Torres Trait Islander People Migration To Australia

The indigenous cultures of Australia are one of the oldest living cultures in the world. Indigenous groups across Australia have many oral stories about their past, which form part of a great tradition of knowledge. These stories explain the Aboriginal genesis in a different parts of the country and reveal the shaping of a formless land by great ancestors. Aboriginal people of Australia have suffered through many crises, when the British colonised Australia in 1788. Many Aboriginal people from different cultures died at hands of British colonial. There were not a lot of Aboriginal people in Australia in 19th century. Mostly, they inhabit in NSW, Queensland and Victoria. There are many cultures in NSW, one of the oldest culture in Sydney is the Darug, they are the traditional owners of Western and south Western areas of Sydney. The Darug nation is large in size and boasts many clans of Darug people. One of the clans called the Cabrogal. Cabramatta takes its name from the Cabrogal band of the Darug-speaking people that lived around Liverpool and Fairfield when the British first came to Australia.

Archaeologists believe that aboriginals first came to Australia about 45, 000 years ago and were the only population of humans in Australia until the British invasion. There are about 500 different aboriginal groups each with their own language and territory and usually made up of several separate clans. The aboriginals of Australia are marginalised in today society. This marginalisation began right back during the British invasion where they were evicted from their own country, the stolen generation occurred and their health care, education, employment and housing was severely limited. Aboriginals generally live in poor conditions and choose unhealthy lifestyle choices

To begin with, a clarification must be made. Although for the purposes of this assessment I will be using the term Indigenous Australians, it is not the most appropriate term to be using, as the technical definition of indigenous is ‘originating or occurring naturally in a particular place; native’ (‘Indigenous’, 1987). The more correct term would be Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander.

Indigenous populations have been the carers and custodians of Australia and the Torres Strait for a period in excess of 60,000 years before being

There is little said about aboriginal people in early Australian history books. What we do know is that the view of Non-Aboriginal people was very ethnocentric. The opinion was that Aboriginal was that they were savages and

Communities of tribes and people occupying the Australian Land before the British Colonization in the early 1800’s. Dark skin appearance and lived among tribes and communities all over Australia. Traditional land owners.

One of the great untold truths of Australian history has been the courageous contribution of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to the Australian Defence Force. For decades this contribution was unacknowledged and their sacrifices were unmentioned at official ceremonies.” Alistair Nicholson, Reconciliation Australia (2014).

In Australia Aboriginal and Torres Strait

In Aboriginal culture the language isn’t only a form of communication, it is used to mark territory. It is possible that people from tribe only fifty kilometres away cannot understand the other tribes language at all.

Studies have shown that babies of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders descent are more two-three times more likely to be born prematurely then babies of non-Indigenous descent (Brown et al., 2016). Due to these results an evaluation will occur to determine the factors that are known to affect preterm birth. This assessment will focus on two peer reviewed articles and will reflect on the search strategy used, assess how each article relates to an increased knowledge of preterm birth factors and justify how their studies contribute to the role of the nurse from an ethical perspective.

I understand that the Aboriginal Australians groups are considered sacred. It's amazing, how their way of living is represented. I noticed with this particular indigenous tribe are nourish resources all over creation, so what others don't see as food, the aboriginals do. The bark of a tree, leaves and flowers can be food to them. These aboriginal use their adapt abilities skills very well. What I have noticed is that they're short on shelter there isn't any type of housing on their land like tents or a hut. Their health is well kept up, but there doesn't seem to be a government, or some types of economic system. Aboriginal Australian also gain knowledge to their environment to keep their environment and food resources safe. They take from their

Australia is home to various, distinct indigenous population. The Waradjuri is New South Wales and the Noongar in Western Australia. Aboriginal populations are often grouped together and reffered to as “Aborigines” however, some consider the term pejorative. Legally, the native populations of Australia are reffered to as “Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders.”

Aborigines are believed to have lived in Australia for between 60,000 and 40,000 years, their early ancestors coming from South-East Asia. Precise population details for the period before European colonisation are unavailable, but it is estimated that there were between 300,000 and 1,000,000 Aborigines in Australia when European settlers first arrived in 1788.

The Aborigines were traditionally a semi-nomadic hunter-gatherer society, travelling seasonally. Their intimate knowledge of the land and the seasons allowed them to predict where and when certain food items would be available. Men hunted larger game while women gathered fruits, nuts and caught small game. Theirs was a life well adapted to the harshness of Australia. The most important factor in Aboriginal life was (and is) the kinship system.
