The arrival of white settlers significantly disrupted Aboriginal Dreamtime narratives and practices. These stories, which are central to Aboriginal culture and spirituality, were often misunderstood or dismissed by colonizers, leading to a loss of cultural continuity. The introduction of new laws, land dispossession, and forced assimilation further eroded the traditional practices tied to Dreamtime. Consequently, many Aboriginal communities experienced profound disconnection from their ancestral stories and spiritual heritage.
will there is a story which is called the man who lived written by an aboriginal in western AUS
In one Aboriginal dreamtime story, the echidna-man attacked the lubra (wife) of another man. The tribe turned on him, attacking him with spears, and he was driven out of camp with numerous spears sticking out of his back. He crawled away into a cave to nurse his wounds, and eventually emerged as an echidna, with spines sticking out of him.

The aboriginal way of life did not include democracy in the sense that white man's society understands it. Aboriginal life was very patriarchal, with no room for democratic vote regarding the chiefs and elders of the tribes.
Very much so. The stolen generation was a direct result of European attitudes that white man knew better than the indigenous people how to take care of their children. It was also about the suppression of the entire aboriginal culture. Children who were taken away were put into white homes, and not permitted to speak their native language. They lost contact with all their Dreamtime stories and their tribal culture.
Prior to white settlement, it is estimated that there were 600-700 aboriginal tribes in Australia, for a population of anywhere between 750000 and one million indigenous Australians. Not all of these were recorded, but a list of the known aboriginal tribes can be found at the related link below.

Do you mean - "Is Harold Thomas an Aboriginal?" Because the answer to that is YES. He was also the man who created the Aboriginal Flag. Hope this helped.
