Aboriginal history.

Australia is the sixth largest country in the world in terms of breadth, is smaller when compared with Russia, Canada, China, United States, and Brazil. Australia is the smallest continent, while the largest is Asia which covers 44.614 million km2. Humans have long inhabited Australia once. The original inhabitants of Australia called Aborigines. In Latin the word 'Aboriginal' means 'from the beginning'.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander is a tribe of Indigenous Australians. They've lived and maintain both the homeland of Australia for nearly 60,000 years using the legal system and their own government. That said, they settled on the smallest continent for thousands of years ago. But then they were displaced by the nation of immigrants who are more "intelligent" white of Europe.

Aborigines in Australia.

One of the famous culture of the Aborigines are hunting weapons that often they use, namely Boomerang. This weapon is unique because once thrown away, can come back again, this weapon is often used for hunting in the forest or desert savanah. In everyday life Aboriginal indeed spent to hunt wild animals like kangaroos (typical Australian animals), in addition to using Boomerang they also use traditional weapons such as spears and arrows.

In the winter when the Aborigines used clothing made from kangaroo leather. For Aboriginal people who still live traditionally, they have never known farming and raising livestock, which is why the group they never go far from water sources and rivers. Homes that have been are nomanden or sedentary, home made is very simple and only made of twigs and leaves in stacking.

In the sociable life among tribes, an Aboriginal group headed by a tribal leader, chairman of the tribe also doubled as a shaman or healer, and co-led the traditional rituals and weddings.

Aborigines themselves divided into many groups according to the area they live in, including the Aboriginal Bama in the region of Queensland, Aboriginal Koori in the area of the New South Wales and Victoria, Aboriginal Murri in the region of southern Queensland, Aboriginal Noongar in the south western part of Australia, Aboriginal Nunga in region of southern Australia, Aboriginal Anangu in the area near the border of southern and western Australia, as well as Aboriginal Palawah who lived on the island of Tasmania. Most Aboriginal communities are Aboriginal Anangu which has a population of 32.5% of all Aboriginal people in Australia, but if calculated overall with the Australian Aboriginal population numbered only 517 000 inhabitants and if the percentage is only 2.3%.

Had been a discrimination of the people of Europe against Aboriginal tribe, even Aborigines often regarded as the Fauna / animals, but gradually discrimination while gradually softened, and one of the political strategy for Aboriginal problem is with the process of assimilation between blacks and whites black Aborigines. Mixed marriages, many make their children become no longer black, even for future generations increasingly white together with the Europeans.
