Not as in the American Indians. Australia's indigenous inhabitants are the dark-skinned Aboriginal people who lived in tribal groups throughout the continent.
Identifying a single "main" Aboriginal tribe is challenging, as there are over 250 distinct Aboriginal groups in Australia, each with its own culture, language, and traditions. Some of the well-known groups include the Yolŋu in Arnhem Land, the Noongar in Western Australia, and the Arrernte in the Northern Territory. Each tribe plays a significant role in the rich tapestry of Aboriginal culture and history.
The only two groups that are distinctly different in Australia's culture would be the indigenous aboriginal population and the immigrant's. the immigrant's of course have a multitude of different cultures them selves.
When the white people came to Australia in the 1780s, there were between 500 and 700 different aboriginal groups.
The term "Aboriginal peoples" refers to the diverse groups of Indigenous peoples who are the original inhabitants of a particular region, most notably in countries like Canada and Australia. In Canada, it encompasses First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples, while in Australia, it includes Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. These groups have distinct cultures, languages, and histories that precede colonial settlement.
Altogether there were about 600 'tribes' or groups of aboriginal australians before 1788
