Unfortunately its history, but modernisation also been to some benefit. As I read Australian aboriginal history, the way they treated each other , the punishment of trowing spears at each other , or the way women were treated, some modernisation was also to their benefit. It wasn't all bad ! And we need to learn form their way of the way they used to take care of nature and earth.

Reading this I thought if the movie, Quigley Down Under, Miroslava. This mirrors what happened in our own Wild Wild West as trappers, settlers, farmers, cattle ranchers, buffalo hunters, home steaders, gold seekers all rushed west and claimed land that native Americans had lived on for centuries.
