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.
