Australia fack yeah!

Hola! Today I have some Q&A for you! 



Checkpoints:
1.     
The Aborigines were the first settlers on the Australian continent. Where did they come from?
The aborginies originally came from the Asian mainland.
      
The Aboriginal population was halved quite soon after the European arrival. What was the reason for this?
The Europeans killed a lot of the Europeans, some years after the Europeans arrived the population of the Aborigines was halved.
.      
Aboriginal children were taken away from their homes for more than 100 years. How many children are believed to have experienced this?
It is estimated that more than 100.000 children were taken away from their parents.
 

Viewpoints:
1.     
Why do you think Mr Howard and Mr Keating refused to make an official apology?
Because they thought it was right to do what they did.
2.     
Can you think of any other group of people who have experienced something similar? Who are they and what did they experience?
The Indians has experienced something similar. The Europeans came and killed almost everyone. When they arrived the mainland of America.

Research and discover:
1.     
Find out about the Maories in New Zealand. Who are they and how is their situation in New Zealand today?
The Māori originated with settlers from eastern Polynesia, who arrived in New Zealand in several waves of canoe voyages at some time between 1250 and 1300 CE. Today the Maories is a usuall part of the society.
2.     
Compare the history of Australian Aborigines and the New Zealand Maories.
When the Europeans came to New Zealand and Australia they changed the two native peoples with a new culture and different sights on the life.
    
These two groups have had quite different experiences.
Can you think of possible reasons for this?
I think the Europeans did not like any native people, and they just wanted to think new not old. I also think that both the Aborigines and the Maories could be willing to make a change, in that way many more had survived .
