thats ME jessi B :) First Australians

Q1 After watching the first Australians I think that I have learnt a lot about the problems cause by the Aboriginals and the settlers. I now know what happened in the first couple of days after meeting each other, and understand after hearing the story of Boonelong and Arthur Phillip, that there was not just war but friendships within the two groups. Q2 THEY HAVE COME TO STAY. On the 25th of January 1788, the first fleet arrived in Australia. Throughout the following years the indigenous people of Australia had an ongoing conflict and would be caught in a feud between their kind and the “invaders”. But please note as I said in question on there were also friendships, in the middle. The conflict started when governor of New South Wales Arthur Phillips first captured 2 aboriginals to try and communicate with their kind. This feud last hundreds of years and was finally over in 1993.

Q3. I believe that the main message of this story is that even when something or someone has a good first impressions it can still be harsh .One other message I got out of the story is again, that no matter how many feuds there are between two races friendships can still form.

Q4. I think the real point of this story is to explain how hard and different it must have been for the aboriginals, as the men that arrived were much different to there culture, like wearing clothes, and shoes. The next part of the story is about the change in these 200 hundred  Q1. - Definitions //Colonists// - an inhabitant of a colony. //Settlers// - a person who settles in a new country or area. //Invaders// - a group or army of people that come to a new land with intentions of taking it for them selves //British// - people that originate from Britain, an island in Western Europe. //Whites// - are people with white skin that can come from any country //Europeans// - people that originate from Europe. Q.4

I think that the most appropriate term for the “newcomers” would have to be aliens. Although this is a strong word I think it best suites. This is because the White people were so much different from the natives. I also think they were aliens as they said that they come in peace, but still wanted to take over the country. Q.5

Yes, I think that it is possible for words to mean different things in separate times. One example of this could be that when the British first arrived they were seen as invades to the indigenous people. Whereas to them they were just settlers. Q.6 DEFINITIONS Aborigines - original or earliest known; native; indigenous people from a country or place. Indigenous inhabitants or people - originating or occurring naturally in a particular place. First Australians - the people who first lived on the continent Australi a.

Q.9 I think that the most accurate description of the indigenous people of Australia is Aboriginals. I think this because they were the original people of the land, and they were there long before the rest of the world even discovered Australia.

Q.1 When hearing the stories claim I think most of them are true. It makes me fell sad when I think of what our ancestors went through.

Q.4 I agree with both of the views. I think that both of them have good points that make it hard to make up my mind but in the end I have gone with the document written by Paul Keating. I agree the most with this as I think we should feel some guilt for what we did. Although I still understand why we did “invade” Australia.

Questions from the text book Page 3 Q1-Q3

Q1. It is generally believed that indigenous Australians have lived in Australia for around 40,000 years.

Q2. A language group is a group that has the largest amount of people in it. They keep contact with other groups by exchanging songs, information, and goods, services and artifacts; and meeting to organize marriages and joint ceremonies

Q.3 Each clan had a totem. This totem could have been an animal or bird, even a type of plant. Whatever this totem was it always symbolized the clans connection to the spiritual world. As well as a clan totem each individual had a totem for themselves this was decided by there clan elders.

Page 9 Q.5 Source D A) It is a primary source; I know this because it is stated on the picture B) In the painting most of the aboriginals are very naked. However most of the adults are dressed at minable wearing rags. C) This shows interactions because the two races are living in the same city/ town. This is very important time of peace between the two races as it was when the aboriginals were freely living in the town. D) I think that they might have painted this picture to show that they were doing the right thing by letting them stay in the down, but making the Aboriginals look poor and dirty.


 * Traditional Indigenous History **

** Q1. The difference between Culture and heritage is that: Your heritage is your parents culture, and your culture will be your childrens heritage. **

Q2. The diversity of languages and dialects have created problems for the indigenous communities, and for the Europeans during the 18th century because they wouldn't of been able to understand what the other people were saying. As aso they also had different beliefs the indigenous people would not have understand why the Europeans where taking over there land. Another thing that would have been different was the way the different cultures dressed.

Q3. I think that the arrival of Europeans may have contributed to the reduction of the Indigenous population, because they disturbed the way they lived. The also took over and claimed the land, this would have mad it hard for them to live as the would not have understood what the Europeans what doing. I also think that there are not as many indigenous people because the population grew with many people from different cultures and they just took over.

Q4. The indigenous Australians were environmental conservationists, these are some reasons why: Q5. The elders were very important the Aboriginals. This is because they tough them everything they new about the land. They also pasted down dream time stories. The children learnt these by dance, song and story telling. I think that the Europeans did not depend on there elders as much, as they had books and they went to school and learnt stuff from their teachers.

Myspace about me for a historian, i have chosen William Dampier.

Hi im William Dampier, I was born in 1651. I was born in England, and fought in the Dutch war, but for most of the time I am an Explorer, hydrographer, and naturalist. I think that my best achievement was being made a naval officer and commanded an expedition (1699–1701) to Australia, New Guinea, and New Britain. This time might have been better if I wasn’t so drunk all the time! If you ask me I think I made up for it with my great skills in hydro graphing. I believe it was so good I influenced both Captain James Cook and Admiral Horatio Nelson. Thanks for reading J
