In Australia, there is some ongoing issue between the aborigines, the indigenous people of Australia and other ethnic groups. Australian Aborigines shared similar ways of living and religious beliefs yet belonged to separate groups with individual languages, ceremonies, and legends. During the period of ‘pacification by force,’ settlers began to push the natives off their land, which cut them off from such resources.
