INTRODUCTION
Indigenous people are seen as a native members whomsoever are living in a specific
region by having their own society. However, government are also treating them differently
because they always demand as per their choice or need. Therefore, assignment is going to
highlight the background of their life in around 17th and 18th century in order to analyze their
living standard (Nakata and et al, 2012). Although they are similar to common people but always
think in a unique way and demand more. However, discriminatory act which is faced by these
people are also discussed in this project for understanding the level of racism at societal place.
Therefore, main objective is to analyse the problem faced by aboriginal society.
TASK
Background
Australia always experienced a mixture of culture and citizens which is different from
that what is existing in the present times. The aboriginal and Torres culture has revised as it is
now existing in an entirely distinct manner. The manner in which people are living inn Australia
is greatly effected by European colonisation as it brought rapid changes for the society. Before
1788 the only people who existed in Australia were the Aboriginal and Tores Islands (Jamieson
and et al, 2012). People in that community used variety of languages in order to interact with one
another. Their cultures, feelings, actions and traditions which they follow varies from one
another and therefore act as a base of differentiating among them. The population of Australia
before 1788 was approximately 750000 and and they used a range of languages to communicate.
Changes were experienced when people were sent out from the long-standing lands which
further effected the population of Australia. Earlier there were not any horses and carriages till
the time Europe people arrived there. Apart from these no external travellers also visited the
refereed country from any part of the world till the ingenious people were existing there (Jorm
and et al, 2012). Those who were part of Australia used to respect the environment to a great
extent and ensure that no harm is made to the ecosystem and worked towards protecting them.
For same control over the hunting practices was kept and animals were killed only to that
quantity which was minimum required to feed the people. This way they make the food available
if demanded next time by someone else. Hunting practice was so common and both men and
women used to have their own areas to hunt. Males used to take giant animals and females on the
other hand prefer hunting tiny animals and indulge in fruit collecting activities. Seasonal
