    The first Aboriginal tribes arrived in Australia from Asia and India around 50,000 years ago. They lived as hunter-gatherers and farmers, and used fire for cleaning tools and weapons as well as rituals. The Aboriginal people were divided into over 400 clans, each with their own language, religion, and culture. The British colonization in the 18th century was initially very brutal, killing many Aboriginal people and introducing diseases that decimated 90% of the population. Over the years, as European farms expanded, Aboriginal people were forced onto small territories and often became slaves on white-owned farms, until being granted the right to vote by the Australian government in 1967.

    Aborigines

    The first aborigines tribes went to Australia from Asia and India, about 50 thousands years ago. Aborigines
    were only hunters and farmers. They used to be naked during all time because of their traditions and they
    also used to use fire for a lot of things, for example: they used it to “keep clean” their tools and weapons, to
    eliminate parasites and for rituals. They were divided in 400 different clans, each one with different
    language, religion and culture, but the common thing is the flag: two lines, one black and the other red, nd
    in the middle a yellow circle. We now a lot of things of them thanks to the rupestrian paintings that they
    did in caves to represent their daily actions, or their rituals ecc. The first contact with the “advanced world”
    was in the 18th century, but firstly it was very brutal: indeed the British colonizers killed a lot of aborigines,
    in addition they bring with them also a lot of illnesses that decimated the 90% of the population. But the
    England didn’t bring only bad things, in fact thanks to them the aborigines knew how to breed animals like
    rabbits and sheeps. Over the years the farms were becoming more extended so the aborigines were forced
    to live in small territories and, most of times, they became slaves for the “white people’ farms”. Some years
    later, in 1967, the Australian government recognized to the aborigines the right of vote.
