Indigenous people or aboriginal people are the inhabitants who lived first in a country. So every country started with indigenous people. In the British colonies or Australia, New Zealand and Canada were many indigenous people. Everyone should learn in history class about the tragedy which happened on the 17th century, when millions of black slaves were moved in terrible ships from Africa to the new country America. The white man basically ruled the world which is very weird to think about because there are much more of black people in the world.
Many think the indigenous people in Australia are from Africa because they are black but it is said they went from Africa to Asia about 70.000 years ago and then they went to Australia about 50.000 years ago. When the white man came to Australia to take Australia as it’s colony it was not enough for him to bring horrible diseases which the indigenous people’s immune system couldn’t handle. The white man had to come to Australia and take their land away from them pushed them anywhere they wanted.

So when they got older they would marry a white person and their children would also marry a white person so one day all the blackness from their ancestor got erased. In 2008 the government gave the aboriginal people a formal national apology. Today the indigenous people are about 500.000 in Australia. Indigenous people from Australia were very “arty” people they painted on many rocks and in caves. The oldest painting on a rock from indigenous australians is 30.000 years old so it started a very long time ago. Didgeridoo is an instrument the indigenous founded about 1500 years ago and they still play on. We know it was founded about 1500 years ago because of the dating of cave paintings the indigenous painted, they painted a didgeridoo player and two singers on the cave wall. The didgeridoo instrument is usually cylindrical and it can measure up to 1 to 3 meters but usually it’s 1,5 meters long and the indigenous liked to decorate it with paint.
