I have chosen this topic because I find their history and their culture fascinating, also how many years of their traditions suddenly changed from one day to another.
Who are the Aboriginals?
History:
The Aboriginal were the first people of Australia. They are the oldest surviving culture. They came to Australia for about 176.000 years ago from Africa or Asia. Aboriginal mean the native population. The word “aboriginal” comes from the Latin word “ab origine” which mean “from the beginning”. However they don’t call themselves aboriginals, because they had different names depended on which language they spoke or which group they where in. People of to day, means that the aboriginal people came to Australia but in the Aboriginals history it says, that they lived there ever since Australia existed.
Tribe culture:
-The aboriginal is also called the nomad people because they didn’t lived just one place but travelled. They travelled together in groups of 6-40persons.
-When a boy reaches the age of 10-12 years old. He will pass through a test of ceremonies. His body will get tattooed and painted. He learns to hunt and physical things the tests can last years, and when he passes all of the tests. He will be a grown man and then he can marry.
