If I Were a Native...

I would want to be an Aborigine from Australia.

I believe out of all the natives we talked about in class, the Aborigines more peacefully than any other native tribes. They experienced the least amount of violence and were simply pushed aside by the white settlers. A fence was built to separate them, and sometimes a young Aborigines would be taken from its family or tribe. However, they never went through murders like those in Rwanda, nor have they gone through times as rough as the natives of South Africa.

Also, the Aborigines were able to uphold their culture through it all. A culture that has been present at least 50,000 years on Earth. It's amazing to think that a culture started so long ago has not been changed by man and that the people continue to uphold the traditions the ancestors began thousands of years before them. They literally live day to day and I cannot help but wonder what that must be like.
