PROJECT 1
Aboriginal Life before European Settlement
ATSI had different lifestyle before European people arrived in Australia in year 1788.
There were various community of aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander who were living on the
land of Australia. There is a belief that they have lived here about 40,000 years. Their living was
more different than the present one. There is high difference within present and before European
Settlement. They like to live in small communities and get survided thorugh hunting and
gathering. In this, men were the one who had the responsibility to collect food by hunting big
animals. Whereas, women were the one who had the responsibility to take care of children in
absence of men and were able to collect fruit, berries and plant for eating and survival. They
used the land to fulfil their basis needs like getting shelter, food, weapons to hunt, water. They
never damage their land or overused which can reduce their land quality (Connolly & et. al.,
2019). They had the faith to use properly their resources which can allow to provide longer life
with their positive effect. They like to live simply without taking false advantages of their natural
resources. They were like to live and were not modern in comparison to present. Before this,
they were not educated and not have the sensation regarding humanity and were strict to live
their line with following rules and regulation of the community.
