Aborigines have a very close connection with their homeland which is part of their very identity. Their soul was infused with the earth, and to be dispossessed of their tribal lands meant they lost that connection and therefore their very spiritual identity.

How did aborigines view the land when the colonials came?
At the time of colonial settlement in Australia, the Aborigines viewed the land in the same way as they do now, which is as the source of their spiritual life. The land is the very heart and soul of aboriginal culture and tradition. To be separated from one's homeland is, for the indigenous Australians, like being cut off from one's very life source, and they suffered deeply when their land was taken from them following European settlement.

Did Thomas Mitchell seek permission to travel through the Aborigines' land?
No. The early European explorers of Australia did not see the need to seek permission to travel through the indigenous people's land. They had no concept that the Aborigines were the original custodians of the land. Mitchell was one of the worst, in that everything he did indicated he was out to conquer the land. Although Mitchell did respect the skills of the Aborigines, he did not respect their "ownership" or believe he needed permission to travel through their land.
What was William Hobson's view of the treaty?
I think hisview on t he treaty was that he didn't want to same to happen to the Maori as what happen to the Aborigines. So he decided to make come up with a treaty so the Maori could have rights and save some of there land. I think he had this view because he realised that what they were doing to the aborigines was unfair and sad as heaps of families got split up and destroyed because of them (Europeans). But this view is not sure as i am not William Hobson myself but that's what i have thought it is from gathering information about it.
