Albert Namatjira, an Aboriginal artist, significantly influenced other Indigenous Australians by breaking barriers in the art world and promoting cultural expression through his watercolor landscapes. His success brought national attention to Indigenous art, inspiring many Indigenous artists to explore and share their own cultural narratives. Namatjira's legacy also fostered a sense of pride and identity among Indigenous communities, encouraging them to embrace and celebrate their heritage through various artistic mediums.

Indigenous Australians, like those races indigenous to other colonized lands, were rarely taken seriously by those who colonized Australia. As with similar situations in many other countries, they still aren't taken sufficiently seriously to ensure anywhere near a quality of life and opportunity equal to that of non-indigenous citizens.
Many of Australia's indigenous people commemorate ANZAC day with the same respect and solemnity as other Australians do. After all, many Aborigines have served in wars in which Australia has been involved, since the Boer War, which was well before World War I and Gallipoli. see the related link below on indigenous Australians who have served in wars.
they both have been screwed with by other people trying to take over their land coz they are idiots and don't refuse them!
Indigenous people historically settled in areas with access to natural resources like water, land for farming, or hunting grounds. Cultural factors, such as spiritual connections to the land or proximity to other indigenous communities, can also influence their location. Additionally, colonization and forced relocation by governments have played a role in shaping the current distribution of indigenous communities.
Perhaps this book might offer some insight.The home front : life in Australia during World War II by Rosemary ClarkDuring WW2, some White Australians and Indigenous Australians got their first real contact with each other. There was a job to be done and all of a sudden the colour line disappeared claimed Oodgeroo Noonucal, an Aboriginal poet and political activist. Many Indigenous Australians benefited from the war because men worked in war industries or joined the service. There were even Aboriginal and Torres Strait units formed in remote Northern Australia. They in turn received better training, pay and more social contact than they'd ever had before.

Australians historically stem from the British empire and as such belong to a culture that that was very proud and satisfied with itself. they were taught that the British and other white European races were introducing civilization to the heathens of Asia, china, and Africa. many of the ordinary people on the street honestly believed that invasion by the British or other European country's was the best thing that could happen to the indigenous people of these country's.
The indigenous Australians (commonly called Aborigines) did not use money. They had no use for money, being able to obtain everything they needed from the land. They traded with other tribes and communities, but currency was not required.
The Federation of Australia in 1901 had a limited and often negative impact on the rights of Aborigines. While it established a national government, it did not recognize Indigenous Australians as citizens, effectively excluding them from the rights and benefits afforded to other Australians. The new Constitution specifically allowed for discriminatory laws against Aboriginal people, leading to further marginalization and loss of rights. This period marked a continuation of policies that oppressed Indigenous communities rather than advancing their rights or status.
Pemulwuy, an Aboriginal resistance leader, played a significant role in resisting British colonization and defending the rights of his people. He led attacks against the settlers and became a symbol of Aboriginal resistance and resilience. His actions inspired other Indigenous Australians to stand up against colonizers and defend their land and culture.
