    http://www.anu.edu.au/ANDC/Austwords/koori
    
    Extractions: koori The word koori is now well established in Australian English, but it continues to cause confusion and misunderstanding. Many Aborigines dislike the terms 'Aborigine' and 'Aboriginal' since these terms have been foisted on them, and they carry a lot of negative cultural baggage. Not surprisingly, they have looked for alternative words, and instead of `Aborigine' they prefer to use the word for a 'person' from a local language. In order to understand the history of the word koori we need to bear in mind the fact that when the Europeans arrived here there were about 250 languages spoken in Australia. Way back in the past, they were no doubt related, but most of them were as different from one another as English is different from Italian or Hindi. Some languages of south-east Australia (parts of New South Wales and Victoria) had a word - coorie kory kuri kooli koole - which meant 'person' or 'people'. In the 1960s, in the form koori , it came to be used by Aborigines of these areas to mean 'Aboriginal people' or 'Aboriginal person'. It was a means of identification. But because of the wide variety of Aboriginal languages and cultures, koori has not gained Australia-wide acceptance, being confined to most of New South Wales and to Victoria.

    Extractions: 7 September 1999 Use this version to print The genocidal practices perpetrated against Australian Aborigines were the outcome of policies adopted and implemented by all Australian governments from British settlement in 1788 until the present. A people who had virtually no contact with the outside world, were suddenly confronted with a hostile and alien force. Aborigines were forced out of their traditional homes, hunted like wild animals, poisoned or shot, and confined to the harshest and most desolate climes. The effect of British settlement upon these people led to near extinction within 120 years. The Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies has published a report detailing this history. Entitled

    Extractions: Book of Shadows ... Buy Books about Australian Spirituality Australia Finding texts about Australian Aboriginal religion in the public domain was extremely difficult. There is a landslide of 19th and early 20th Century books and articles about American and African indigenous traditions, many treating the subject with sensitivity and great depth. Only a few Australian works from this period are available, and most of them are pretty vague on the details. Some of this can be attributed to the traditional tribal secrecy, which is maintained even to this day. Please be mindful of the historical context in which these books were written. The obvious problem with these books is that they were written by White Australians during the early twentieth century. This material contains racist and sexist characterizations, inaccurate depictions of aboriginal life and misrepresentations of their spiritual practices. Some of these documents contain completely fictional material which was the invention of the author, and have no actual basis in aboriginal belief or traditions. Descriptions of some of the ceremonies in these documents or the naming of dead people may regrettably violate Aboriginal tabus. These texts are provided for scholarly purposes and should not be considered definitive material on Aboriginal culture, only as a starting point for discussion. In short, we encourage you to 'read between the lines'.

    Extractions: Sacred Texts Australia Some Myths and Legends of the Australian Aborigines by W. J. Thomas This is a short collection of Australian Aborigine folklore, addressed to a general audience. The tales and folklore are recounted factually, but the book has a few racist overtones, so the reader is encouraged to be alert. The author doesn't even pretend to have had any direct contact with actual Aborigines: this should be considered a secondary text at best. Thomas also wrote The Welsh Fairy Book Title Page

    Australian aborigines. Australian aborigines, native people of Australiawho probably came from somewhere in Asia more than 40,000 years ago.  
    http://www.infoplease.com/ce6/society/A0805377.html
    
    Extractions: Australian aborigines Australian aborigines, The aborigines have an intricate classification system that defines kinship relations and regulates marriages. The Kariera, for example, are divided into hordes, or local groups of about 30 people, which are divided into four classes, or sections. Membership in a section determines ritual and territorial claims. In half of the hordes the men are divided among the Karimera and Burung sections; in the other half they are divided among the Palyeri and Banaka sections. These sections are exogamous, and rules of marriage , descent, and residence determine how these sections interact: Karimera men must marry Palyeri women, and their children are Burung, and so on. Sons live in the same hordes as their fathers, so the composition of hordes alternates every generation. The complex system, by requiring each man to marry a woman from only one of the three possible sections, fosters a broad network of social relations and creates familial solidarity within the horde as a whole. Aborigines maintain elaborate systems of totemism (the belief that there is a genealogical relationship between people and species of plants or animals). They see the relationship between totemic plants and animals as a symbolic map of the relations between different people.

    Extractions: Australian Aborigine culture Australia is a land of contrasts: Magnificent beaches and sun baked deserts; cuddly marsupials and deadly crocodiles; skyscraping metropolises and country hick towns. Perhaps the greatest contrast that this great Southern land reveals, however, is that between the European immigrants and the native inhabitants who have come to be known as Aborigines. These original, indigenous inhabitants of Australia have shunned European technology for more than 200 years. They have, thus, retained the uniqueness of their culture to a greater degree than many colonised peoples. bodyOffer(1412) When the first European settlers arrived toward the end of the 18th century, the Aboriginal population was an estimated 300,000. Unlike the natives of other lands, these dark, nomadic people showed no interest in the nick nacks of the Europoean colonists. They were perfectly content to live off the land, having developed a spiritual kinship with the land and the animals who shared it with them. In fact, the Aboriginals were remarkable conservationists who cared well for the environment. Contrasting their attitude with that of the white man, Aborigine Tom Dystra explained, “We cultivated our land, but in a way different from the white man. We endeavoured to live with the land; they seemed to live off it. I was taught to preserve, never to destroy.” Commenting on this conservationist tendency, Malcolm D.Prentis wrote in his book ‘A Study In Black And White’: “The well-being of the flora and fauna and that of the Aboriginal group were linked: prosperity for one meant prosperity for the other. This was practical: for example, flourishing kangaroos meant better food supplies for the Aborigines but the killing of too many kangaroos was in the long run not good for the Aborigines.”

Australia has always had a mix of cultures and people although not in the same way as it does today. Like all cultures Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures have changed and developed over time. But colonisation of Australia brought rapid changes to Aboriginal society and dramatically affected Aboriginal land and they ways people lived. 'Deri' headdress made from bamboo, wool, goa nuts and feathers of the Torres Strait Pigeon. Acquired in 1907 from Murray Island (Mer), East Torres Strait Island. This headdress is worn by Torres Strait Islanders in dances and in the 'Malo-Bomal' ceremony enacting the origin and identity of Torres Strait Islanders. Before 1788 Australia was populated only by the Indigenous people of Australia - Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. In 1788 Aboriginal people inhabited the whole of Australia and Torres Strait Islanders lived on the islands between Australian and Papua New Guinea, in what is now called the Torres Strait. There were many different Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities made up of people who spoke different languages with various cultural beliefs, practices and traditions. Before 1788 there were approximately 700 languages spoken throughout Australia with an estimated population of 750 000 people. Today Indigenous people make up 2% of the entire Australian population (about 265 000 people). The number of Aboriginal people has changed since European settlement because of the effects of removal of people from traditional lands and the impact of cities and towns on populations.

    Extractions: The skulls suggest faces like those of Australian aborigines The programme, Ancient Voices, shows that the dimensions of prehistoric skulls found in Brazil match those of the aboriginal peoples of Australia and Melanesia. Other evidence suggests that these first Americans were later massacred by invaders from Asia. Until now, native Americans were believed to have descended from Asian ancestors who arrived over a land bridge between Siberia and Alaska and then migrated across the whole of north and south America. The land bridge was formed 11,000 years ago during the ice age, when sea level dropped. How rock art suggests a violent end for the "Australian" Americans However, the new evidence shows that these people did not arrive in an empty wilderness. Stone tools and charcoal from the site in Brazil show evidence of human habitation as long ago as 50,000 years. The site is at Serra Da Capivara in remote northeast Brazil. This area is now inhabited by the descendants of European settlers and African slaves who arrived just 500 years ago.

    Extractions: The Australian continent provides plentiful animal foods – land mammals, birds, reptiles, seafood and insects – plus a bewildering variety of plant foods. Conditions were lush in the subtropical areas along the coasts, and extremely harsh in the desert interior. Nevertheless, bushmen of the arid regions exhibited the same robust good health as their brothers living in the coastal forests. Each clan stayed within its own prescribed area, except to participate in certain religious ceremonies or to share in particularly bountiful harvests of foods like shellfish or nuts. Coastal groups built more or less permanent shelters and moved as a group only to take advantage of certain seasonal food supplies. Desert tribes were more wandering; they had larger territories and moved about according to the location of water and game. The men were responsible for hunting large game, birds and fish. They generally hunted the kangaroo in groups. A number spread out to herd the animals towards a net that they stretched across a pocket in the forest or brush near the animals' feeding area. Another group concealed itself near the net to catch the game with spears or clubs. In open country, the animals were tracked and speared while they were resting in the shade of a tree during the hot part of the day. Smaller marsupials, such as the wallaby, paddy-melon, bandicoot and kangaroo rat, were also hunted. In the arid central regions, such small game has been replaced in part by rabbits. Echidna – the spiny anteater – is also hunted for its meat.
