Aborigines look like you and me when they are walking around town, then when it is time for a special celebration of some kind for the Aborigines, they get all painted up and in their special outfits for their corroborees.

Most modern Aborigines do not participate in corroborees and ceremonial dances, as most do not live a traditional lifestyle. Modern Aborigines are characterised by their dark skin, eyes and hair, and a tendency to have a broader nose. However, as there are varying degrees of aboriginal descent, so these features can vary considerably.

Why did the Australians commit genocide in their treatment of the Aborigines?

The British who colonised Australia suffered the same delusions that many others of their time suffered, that is, the misconception that Aborigines were mere savages, and inferior to "whites". For this reason, they set out to remove all traces of Aborigines from Australia. Sometimes this was done in outright massacres, in the guise of defending white man's property. Other times, it was the deception that whites could look after the indigenous people better than Aborigines could look after themselves; thus, the whites sought to remove the Aborigines to mission stations and government-run reserves.

What does an Aborigine look like?

These days, Aborigines dress like Europeans. Remember that, for the most part, they are fully functional members of society, adhering to European customs. When the first Europeans came, the Aborigines liked the colours and feel of their clothes, and were happy to adopt some of the European clothing cutsoms. Traditional Aborigines who lived in the desert wore as little as possible, because the heat made any more clothing uncomfortable. Indigenous people of the southern states used animal skins to keep warm in winter.
