The big Aboriginal Hunter

History:This is a picture of people from the Aboriginal Tribe.The oldest surviving culture in the world is from The Aboriginal Tribe that is from Australia. It is dating back over 60,000 years. They did not have a written language for many years so they used rock art. Rock art is paintings on the sides of caves that tell stories about the people.

During the period of 1905-1969, the Australian government authorities and police were given the power to transfer Aboriginal children to foster care, forcibly removing them from their families. The children who were taken were assimilated to Anglo-Australian culture. It is estimated that about 100,000 children in total, or just about every third Aboriginal person at that time, was forcibly removed from their families.
