Aboriginal - Existing from the beginning or being the earliest of its type in an area.

From Australia which is known as ?the worlds great island continent?. Cyclones are common around the coast, as are severe draughts throughout the land. Current enviroment issues are soil erosion from overgrazing, industrial development, urbanization, and poor farming practices. Soil salinity rising due to the use of poor quality water, desertification, clearing for agricultural purposes threatens the natural habitat of many unique animal and plant species *(Encarta encylopedia. Keyword:?Australia?) All these factors effect the life of the Aborigine because they are hunter-gatherer groups who depend on their enviroment for food. Natural Resources are abundant in bauxite, coal, iron ore, copper, tin, silver, uranium, nickel, mineral sands, lead, zinc, diamonds, natural gas and petroleum. Australias long term concerns include pollution, particularly depletion of the ozone layer, and management and conservation of coastal areas, especially the Great Barrier Reef

The complex system, by requiring each man to marry a woman from only one of the three possible sections, fosters a broad network of social relations and creates family like solidarity within the horde as a whole. ~Technology:

It?s customary for women to gather and men to hunt for what nature can provide. Each local group with its own food-gathering country is self-governing. It is an enlarged family, consisting of a man and his brothers and their children and son?s childeren, whose wives come from, and whose sisters marry into other local groups. In aboriginal thought the living members of such a group belong to their descended, as we would say, from the migrating band which settled there, but because they were brought there by that band in spirit form. There, where water exists or in some other natural feature associated with the migrating group, they?ll stay there from when they entered their mothers? wombs to be born, or indeed, to be reincarnated. And after death, they return to those same spirit homes. ~Government:

The eldest are the most respected, being the educators who pass on great knowledge of the land. Women are subserviant to the men who for the most part maintain the land and their sons more than they maintain their wives and daughters. What the Aborigines believe about their own origin and their birth from generation to generation, they also believe about animals and birds, reptiles and fish, insects and plants, and indeed also about inanimate things such as rain, wind and fire.
