I want to understand more about them what is their belief, their cultural understanding are they similar to our Tangata whenua in NZ? Are they similar to the American Indians? I know that they are the indigneous people of Australia, but everyone has a story what is their story... in full respect I want to know.

You really need to read The New Matilda online, preferably subscribe, then the truth will come out! So much has been hidden from all of us.

I think that the Aboriginal heritage is composed by a large number of local clans with different language and traditions. On the net, there are websites collecting study materials but, certainly would be much better to be able to hear from Elders.

Spot on lil very little Aboriginal heritage is written on books and the truth about Aboriginal history until vety recently had bern kept out of schools if more people learned our history their views and opinions on Aboriginal culture would be very different, its a beautiful culture with its own rules and ways of doing things some of these things should be adapted in to mainstream society and some of the cultural practices need to be adopted by rural communities and councils with regard to maintaining and caring for this beautiful land of ours

Indigenous Australians, Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders, belong to different nations, through the Australian mainland, Tasmania and Torres Strait Islands. Within each nation are clans or moieties. These are very complex, with rules and regulations which govern who people can marry, talk face to face to and interact with. There are separate men's and women's ceremonies, rituals and everyday activities. These are more defined in traditional lands and remote communities, however these practises have been adapted and are being passsed on the younger generations through dance, song, ceremonies and stories told by elders in all communities, whether they are remote, rural or city dwellers. You really do need to talk to indigenous people and ask them
