Stolen
Generation
The first
group of people to settle down in Australia, aka aboriginals, they came from
Asia with boats.
The
reason half of the aboriginals was killed when the European came, was that they
had diseases with them, the aboriginals were not immune to them.
They say
that a total of 100 000 children was taken from their parents, because the
European thougth they saved them from child abuse and protect them from
neglect, they were called the stolen Generation.
The
first Maoris came from Polynesia around 1250 and 1300 CE, they made an unique
culture that became known as the "Mãori" with their own language, a rich mythology, distinctive crafts and performing arts.
Today they are still
on the island, and many of them became celebreties.
Both tribes came
from asia, but the tribes in Australia is sort of extinct, but the Maoris is
still alive.
New zealand consists
of many islands and high mountain which makes it more difficult to survive
there. Australia is a big island that is very flat compared to New Zealand.
