White settlers in Australia often referred to Aboriginal people using terms that reflected their colonial attitudes, such as "savages" or "blackfellas." The term "Aborigine" itself was commonly used in the 19th and early 20th centuries, though it can be considered outdated or offensive today. Many Aboriginal people prefer to be identified by their specific cultural or tribal names rather than general terms. It's essential to approach this topic with sensitivity and respect for the preferences of Indigenous communities.
