The word "aborigine" means a native race of any land.

Aborigine is a general term, and not the name of a specific group of people. It means "from the beginning, or out of the beginning". It refers to the earliest inhabitants of a region as opposed to inhabitants who occupy a region as the result of invasion. Aboriginal peoples are those who are indigenous to the area. American Indians are Aboriginal Americans.

Most people, when they see the word, however, think of the aboriginal tribes of Australia. The Australian Aborigines were found all over the continent of Australia, and its island state of Tasmania, from the deserts, to the coasts and islands, to the mountains. Following European settlement, aboriginal tribes were driven further and further inland as the Europeans took over the best farming lands around the coast, and along the inland river systems. Tasmanian Aborigines as a pure race were wiped out completely.

These days, Aborigines still live everywhere, including the cities, but most of them are integrated into white society. There are still some Aborigines living on their original tribal lands in parts of central Australia, but they do not live in the traditional way. The elders try to maintain some traditions, but even in these remote areas, the people also drive cars and have some mod cons.
