	Use of Insects by Australian Aborigines, Cultural Entomology Digest 1

	Australian Aborigines—Living Off the Fat of the Land

		Of course, fresh, pure water was vital to the survival of the Aborigines, both in the subtropical coastal regions as well as in the arid interior.

	Tension in Tasmania over who is an Aborigine - smh.com.au
		But for the Aborigines of the Tasmanian mainland, whose lives as invisible fl people demanded the falsifying of names and genealogies, whose histories can sometimes not be found in 19th-century documents, and whose sympathies are not always those of TAC, all that remains is oral history.
		They rely on the family stories of Aborigines who, not killed in the wars or caught up in official dragnets and taken off to settlements on the islands, made new identities in the frontier world of colonial Van Diemen's Land, interbreeding with the freed convicts, publicly denying their Aboriginality, but privately passing it on.
		In the traditional Aboriginal cultures that remain in remoter parts of Australia, Aboriginality is not defined by the European notion of race but by knowledge of the Aboriginal "law", best but not completely understood as fl culture, into the ways and meanings of which young men and women are separately initiated.

	Australian Aborigine dream beliefs
		For the aborigine these facts of their life were tangible realities, known through their inner experience in dreams and waking visions.
		So the rituals which enable the aborigine to return to the womb of all time and existence enables them to feel connected once more to all nature, to all their ancestors, and to their own personal meaning and place within the scheme of things.
		The aboriginal tribes are connected with their local landscape in a way that perhaps no other race of recent times is. The landscape is almost an externalisation of the individual’s inner world.

		The Aborigines believed that the sky Òwas a rich country with a plentiful water supply.Ó(Mudrooroo, 31) This belief must have been prompted by the lack of water on their plane, the earth plane.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Special reports \| Aborigine rights damaged by mining verdict
		The Australian high court dealt a severe blow to the Aboriginal land rights movement yesterday when it rejected claims by the Miriuwung-Gajerrong people to a 3,050sq mile area of land in the country's remote north-west.
		In a decision which ends an eight-year legal wrangle between Aboriginal land rights advocates and the country's billion-pound mining industry, the court declared that local Aborigines had no rights to the mineral wealth extracted from the world's biggest diamond mine.
		This was an apparent reversal of rulings in 1992 and 1996, which appeared to give ground to Aboriginal rights against the mining, petroleum and livestock industries.
