Features: Australia is a vast country dotted with modern metropolises, vast deserts, and rare flora and fauna. Among the many ethnic groups in Australia, nothing is more fascinating and intriguing than the "Indigenous Australians" – the original inhabitants of Australia. For over 40,000 years, Australian Aboriginal people have lived in harmony with the land. They gathered wild fruits or hunted animals like kangaroos for food. They made clothes from animal hides and crafted tools from tree bark, wood, or animal bones. However, by the 18th century, Aboriginal life was forever changed. Europeans arrived in Australia and often used force to occupy the land. This book can be used to learn about Aboriginal culture, as well as the enduring legends, music, food, and family lifestyles. It tells the story of the terrible conflicts between Aboriginal people and European colonizers, how early Australian Aboriginal people began to fight for their rights, and how modern Aboriginal people are striving to revitalize and preserve their rich ancient heritage.
