Aboriginal History And Culture

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

Aboriginal people seem to have lived a long time in the same environment as the now extinct Australian

When European colonists settled in Australia they treated the Aboriginal people extremely different to that of their fellow white men. The Aboriginals were not seen as first class citizens through the European eye and as a result were victims of extreme oppressions and had nearly no rights or freedoms. Since then Aboriginal people have fought to be treated equally to the white men through various different ways. I will discuss the previous struggles faced by the Aboriginals, the Australian strife for equality and finally the level of success and degree of rights and freedoms given to Aboriginals in modern Australia.

Throughout Australian history, Aboriginal people have been displaced and mistreated through the course of time, through the separation from their from kinship groups, land and the stolen generation. This has resulted in the connection to their dreaming lost, misconnection and loss of their sacred sites and traditional food from their land. As a consequence of the stolen generation, many aboriginal children were deprived of their parents, families, spirituality, language from their land and their cultural identity. All of these aspects contribute to the continuing effect of dispossession on Aboriginal spiritualities.

Aboriginal Studies and Torres Strait Islander Studies include histories, cultures, values, beliefs, languages, lifestyles and roles of Aboriginal societies or Torres Strait Islander societies before and after invasion. This study of Torres Strait Islander people and Aboriginal people presents an accurate history of Australia.

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

Flannery delves into the formation of the continent, the evolution of its species, the origin of the aboriginal people, the arrival and development of European society, and the possible future of the continent and its people. While many of it is an accurate description of the country and provides a good background, a visit to the land itself would more accurately provide an idea of the state of Australia.12 The experience of the aboriginal people became very hard as a result of European colonization. Some were wiped out by war and disease, others left their land to avoid this. Some left willingly, others were forced.

Aboriginals or indigenous Australians are the native people of Australia. Aboriginals were nomadic people who came to Australia about 40,000 – 60,000 years ago from Southeast Asia. Religion is a great part of Aboriginal culture. The essay answers these questions: What do Aboriginals belief? What is a Kinship system? What is Dreaming and Dreamtime? What rituals does Aboriginals have?

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders are the Indigenous people of Australia who have lived on this land for thousands of years. They have a strong spiritual belief that closely ties them to their homeland of Australia. As Europeans settled in Australia and started to gain control over the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, they started to view the Indigenous through the lense of scientific racism and Social Darwinism, which gathered an opinion for them to either accustom in the white community or to die out. This outlook towards the Indigenous communities resulted in families being torn apart as children were taken away and put into missions that would teach them behaviours acceptable in the white society which had a great impact on

The aboriginal people were exposed to diseases such as chickenpox, smallpox, measles and influenza. This exposure wasn’t what the aboriginal people had experienced before and a lot of them died bringing the population to a decline.

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

HISTORY OF THE TREATMENT OF INDIGENOUS AUSTRALIANS Indigenous Australians are the aboriginal and Torres Strait islander people of Australia moved from group that is existed in Australia and nearby islands plunged from European colonization. In the course of the most recent 100 years, there have been a several policy relationships between the Australian government and Australia’s indigenous people. There were couple of noteworthy changes made in federation in 1901. The commonwealth franchise act of 1902 rejects the voting rights of aboriginal people from claiming the native locals of Australia. They were also excluded from pension rights, employment in post offices and defence forces. It also expresses that the commonwealth would enact for any

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders are the original land owners of Australia, having lived here for more than 40,000. They were free to practice a different way of life and culture before European settlement in the late 1700s.

Australia’s Aboriginal people have the oldest culture on Earth. They are believed to have arrived here over 50,000 years ago. (“The History of Australia,” 11/30/16) When European settlement in Australia began, there were up to one million Aboriginal people living in Australia: 500 different clans and 700 different languages. (“The History of Australia,” 11/30/16) Many European explorers sailed the coasts of Australia, but it wasn’t until 1770 when Captain James Cook claimed the east coast of Australia for Britain. The new land was used as a penal site for convicts and prisoners.
