A proud and beautiful race of the first nations of the great continent of Australia. Centuries of genocide and systematic dismantling of their language, lands and culture have seen them reduced to a being strangers in their own land. A vibrant people with much to offer.

Get the Aboriginalmug. Aboriginal
The term Aboriginal derives from Latin Europe. The Aborigine were a people from Latium, now Lazio, in what is now known as Italy. This is part of European mythology. The original Aborigine were genocided by invading cultures. Their leader was Latinus, and his mother was Pandora.
The term Aboriginal is now arrogantly given to the first inhabitants of any lands that are invaded by Europeans, especially the English. The name is given because the invading forces are mocking the original inhabitants, that they will meet the same fate as the original Aborigine, but also to destroy their original identity by imposing upon them a false one. Acts of genocide. The term Indigenous is also used for this purpose because under western Roman law it means to be accepted into the English realm via parliament.
The use of Latin identities for first peoples and cultural others is not uncommon. Europeans called people of African heritage Negroes, and called people of Asian and Middle Eastern heritage Orientals. Palestinian Oxford educated academic and writer Edward Said tells western culture uses these Latin terms this within his book Orientalism. Said claims that the Latin identity terms are a generalisation of first peoples by western culture in order to construct laws, institutions and history to control cultural others.
(To set the record straight and allow the Original First Peoples to be FREE!! of colonial labels constructed to control and oppress)

Get the Aboriginalmug. A native inhabitant of a country.
Unlike a lot of definitions on here, NOT Australian natives. They travelled there by boat, just like the English did.

Lecturer: The aboriginals of the Americas are often referred to as "Indians," because the first European explorers mistakenly believed they had arrived in the Indies.

Get the Aboriginalmug. Refers to being 'native' to an area. Can relate to any native population in the world. Commonly used in Canada and Australia. Is mostly connected to the First Australian Nations.
The Aboriginal people of Australia - some proper terms for Aboriginal people include :- Koori (NSW & VIC), Murri (QLD), Palawa (TAS), Nunga (SA), Nyoongar (South WA) Archaelogical evidence shows existence of Aboriginal people here up to 60,000 years ago and the time keeps extending. This is older than anything previously found in Europe, Asia and the whole world.
Aboriginal people are survivors. The whites took the land, shot and killed our people, raped our women, took our children and now want to wrap our culture in bubble wrap and sell it to Japanese tourists. We are the oldest continuing culture on earth.
Aboriginal people are proud of who they are. We have a lot to offer Australia. We know things about this land that whites haven't even dreamed about, and care for country better than anyone.
