Who was Albert Namatjira and what did he do?
Albert Namatjira was an Australian aboriginal painter who was born into the Arunta (also called Aranda) tribe, near Hermannsburg Mission, central Australia, just over 100km west of Alice Springs. He grew up within the mission and initially built himself a small cottage some kilometres from Hermannsburg where he and his wife raised their children. He also spent some of his time with relatives near Alice Springs.

Can somebody without Aboriginal blood become an aboriginal?
The idea that someone can become an Aboriginal is a question of being accepted and identifying as something else. Someone migrating from another country to Australia becomes an 'Australian' hence they have become something else. If Aboriginal people were the ruling class Australia people would be known as 'Aboriginals' rather than Australians. It basically comes down to how open minded people are. The term Aboriginal is a blanket term and one that is used in a generalised way that imposes a stereotype that Aboriginal people are one race with one language and one set of beliefs. This is not the case. Before colonisation Australia was made up of hundreds of tribes with different languages and cultural practices. The point is that if you want to become something else you can. You may not have the same blood but that does not mean that you cannot become something else based on that fact alone. A person can become an Aboriginal without having Aboriginal blood. In a bureaucratic sense it is possible: Demonstrated by the fact that on paper an Aboriginal person can become an 'Australian'. In a more traditional sense if a person was to learn,practice, and live in a traditional manner, and be accepted, and/or identify as Aboriginal they clearly have in a sense become Aboriginal. The opposing argument in my opinion is like arguing that the royal family has a bloodline that is a higher order than that of another, and that to be a royal you must already be a royal. it is a futile argument. Bloodlines change and evolve and never stay the same forever. Their are people that identify as Aboriginal who have a small percentage of Aboriginal blood there are those who are full blood, there are those who have no Aboriginal blood In reality it is how you live, treat others, and identify as a person that defines what you are or what you become.
How has aboriginal citizenship changed since 1901 in Australia?
Aboriginal people became Australian citizens in 1947, when a separate Australian citizenship was created for the first time. Prior to this, all Australians were "British subjects". Aboriginal people gained the vote in Commonwealth territories in 1965, and earlier in different states, according to various state laws.The referendum of 27 May 1967 approved two amendments to the Australian constitution relating to Indigenous Australians, removing two sections from the Constitution. The first was a phrase in Section 51 (xxvi) which stated that the Federal Government had the power to make laws with respect to "the people of any race, other than the Aboriginal race in any State, for whom it is deemed necessary to make special laws." The referendum removed the phrase "other than the Aboriginal race in any State," giving the Commonwealth the power to make laws specifically to benefit Aboriginal people.The second was Section 127, which stated: "In reckoning the numbers of the people of the Commonwealth, or of a State or other part of the Commonwealth, Aboriginal natives shall not be counted." The referendum deleted this section from the Constitution. This was not a reference to the census, as Aboriginal people living in settled areas were counted in Commonwealth censuses before 1967. Rather, the section related to calculating the population of the states and territories for the purpose of allocating seats in Parliament and per capita Commonwealth grants. This prevented Queensland and Western Australia using their large Aboriginal populations to gain extra seats or extra funds.The referendum was endorsed by over 90% of voters and carried in all six states. Ultimately, the real legislative and political impact of the 1967 referendum was to enable the federal government to take action in the area of Aboriginal Affairs, introducing policies to encourage self-determination and financial security for Aborigines.

How do you say thank you in aboriginal?
Hard to say. An 'aboriginal' refers to a member of an older, usually ancient, group of people that lived or live off the land. In the USA, there are American Aboriginals, for instance, who are wrongly called, "Indians". There are groups of people in Australia who lived there far, far longer than the white people. They are Australian Aboriginals, or simply, aborigines. The aboriginal people in Canada are the Inuit and the Metis people. They have wrongly been called, "Eskimos" for a long, long time. The people who lived in what is now called, Japan" are the Ainu people. They are aboriginals who live on the northern island of Japan and in nearby Russia. The Philippines were occupied by an aboriginal group of people from Malaya, far before the white explorers discovered them. Taiwan also has aboriginal people who probably came there thousands of years ago from mainland China. So, you see how it is hard to answer your question - there may be as many as 100 aborinal languages.
