Aboriginal people have lived in this land for approximately 60000 years , but there are studies that suggests there could have been aboriginal people in Australia for up to 120000 years. By the time the British arrived in Australia in 1788 there were approximately 260 different aboriginal groups speaking around 500 different dialects. Aboriginals lived a semi-nomadic life, moving around an area according to the seasons, and because of this, material things weren’t too important for them, at least

For hundreds of years’ Indigenous people have been colonized by the British and now Canadian settlers in Canada. Colonization is defined in Merriam-Webster Dictionary as taking control of an area and sending people to live there. This is initially what the British did when coming to North America. However, since then colonization has gained a larger and more sinister meaning.

about Indigenous People. However, the lecture that got me into deep thoughts was on Indigenous People and the Media. I kept asking myself; why do we view people that way?

Much of the continued suffrage of aboriginal peoples is as a result of the Sixties Scoop and the Residential School System, as well as the lack of resources available to them.

In 1969, a fungus containing ‘cyclosporin’ was collected in Norway and brought to Switzerland for screening (Dhillion

populations in villages or “missions,” where they could be Christianized and forced to work for the Crown. Within these Spanish-ruled villages the ethnic differences between indigenous peoples were dissolved and gave way to a new one with the acquisition of the Quechua language . As a result, a new identity as Quechua-speaking people emerged in the region and the pre-hispanic identities vanished (Scazzocchio a1979).

Indigenous Essay Indigenous people are members of a large spiritual family that believe their number one problem is having life out of balance. They believe the cause for this problem is lack of remembering. They also believe that balance in life is more important than what happens in the afterlife.
