One day, she voyaged father than she’d ever gone and ran into a biggoon that wanted to marry her. When she refused, he threatened to kill her, so she went along with it.

The indigenous people of Australia, called the Aborigines, are the oldest culture found on Earth. Studies show that the Aboriginal genome can be traced back seventy-five thousand years to when this community first migrated from Africa to Australia.

In this paper I’d like to talk about the history of Aboriginal cultures in Australia, their cultural rituals and how their culture has been so heavily influenced and changed over the last few decades.
