Q1.I understand it because the historians explained the story along the way of the episode.It explained both sides of the story which explained the reasons why the First Australians were so protective and what they thought of the English taking over. Q2. The first chapter of the story went like this, It started off with describing the Australian land and the Indigenous peoples beliefs, how they lived and who lived there. This film shows the points of views from many of the Indigenous people and the views and opinions of the English as well. It was interesting for me and the class as it showed how they lived, behaved and acted, how they cared so much about there land they would do anything possible to keep it as it was the only thing they had. Q3. I think the message in the story was everyone was against each other back then, i think it doesn't matter what you are or who you are everyone should be treated the same, no matter what color, what religion and race you are there shouldn't be any difference so line in the middle, everyone is just as bad as each other and we all make mistake thats what life is about, some should stop using there race against them and because one did the wrong thing they hate them all, still people find it hard to get over this and still today have issues with other races that they wont take the time and effort to get over it.

Q4. I think this document is the perfect way to learn about the Indigenous people and the English invading the land.
