"a large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular country or territory. "
Not a single one of which list applies to Aborigines... simple - they were not a large body, they were not united, what there were did not compose a contiguous group, each group has its own history, culture and language, and they were spread out in penny packets across the landscape with no central government or anything remotely like it.
As I said - their 1000 odd lingos proves they had no common ancestry.
It's not hard.........
Except for descent and culture.
Fail , old man.
Zif you had a clue, mothra.
Ownership of Sydney Harbour’s historic Goat Island is about to be handed to the “
wrong” Aboriginal people, many of whom come from western NSW and have no cultural connection to the area, descendants of the harbour’s original inhabitants say.
It would be culturally offensive for Goat Island, or Me-Mel, to be awarded to the Metropolitan Local Aboriginal Land Council “because it is controlled by
foreigners”, said Ash Walker, a member of the La Perouse Aboriginal community.
The 33-year-old Oxford University-educated strategy consultant and former lawyer said the MLALC was controlled by Aboriginal people who had come to Sydney from other areas of NSW and had
no cultural connection to the land.
“This is why the spokesperson featured in the announcement was MLALC deputy chair Yvonne Weldon, a Wiradjuri woman from Cowra in western NSW,” Mr Walker said.
Local Aboriginal land councils are statutory entities whose boundaries and membership are not linked to any traditional ownership.
“Being a member of an Aboriginal land council doesn’t mean that you speak for that country,” Mr Walker said.
“Cultural authority is derived from the connection of an Aboriginal person to their country, not from NSW government legislation. Think about it as if Australia were Europe.
“
If land was stolen from the French, you wouldn’t give it back to the Polish.https://www.theaustralian.com.au/nation/sydney-harbours-goat-island-going-to-wro...Bloody foreigners, eh??
