1QUESTIONS AND ANSWERSAnswer number 1:Discrimination has crept in the concept of indigenous and non indigenous people from the day,when Europeans have colonized the land of Australia. They have tried to judge the nonindigenous people according to their own methods and rules of culture and have alwaysneglected them believing that they are backward people with ill developed methods of lifestyles.From the day of colonization, mixing had taken place and different eras had their own ways ofcalling the aboriginal people (Lloyd & Wolffe, 2016). From the year 1910 to 1940, different newconcept like full blood, half caste, quadroon, octoroon had been introduced according to theblood they carried in their veins. Later after 1960 two types called Western Australia andVictoria came into being to denote people that whether they are having aboriginal blood or nonindigenous blood (Griffiths et al., 2016).

They had been looted, beaten, harmed and defeated repeatedly. Their land had beentaken away. Their self esteem, self image, self respect and ways of self sufficiency - all has takenaway their will to live (Dudgeon et al., 2017).
