Aboriginal People
For the last part of our journey, we will be looking at the Aboriginal perspective of Australian Colonisation.
Below you have been provided with information, videos and images. while you're reading/ viewing these create a mind map using key words to describe colonisation from the Aboriginal perspective.
Use these questions to help you on the way:
1.How were the Native Aboriginals treated during colonisation?
2. How does it make you feel?
3. How do you think it made them feel?

'Before 1788 Australia was populated only by the Indigenous people of Australia - Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. In 1788 Aboriginal people inhabited the whole of Australia and Torres Strait Islanders lived on the islands between Australian and Papua New Guinea, in what is now called the Torres Strait. There were many different Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities made up of people who spoke different languages with various cultural beliefs, practices and traditions.
Before 1788 there were approximately 700 languages spoken throughout Australia with an estimated population of 750 000 people. Today Indigenous people make up 2% of the entire Australian population (about 410 000 people). The number of Aboriginal people has changed since European settlement because of the effects of removal of people from traditional lands and the impact of cities and towns on populations.'
