=**Exploring Issues and Ideas.**=
 * 1) After watching the episode. It helped me gain knowledge and understanding of the first Australians, and the empathy with the people of this period by thinking about how they live and their environment - Habitat.
 * 2) I would summarize this story of "they have come to stay". I would describe this by The first Australians coming over to Australia, discovering this country, settling in. The first Australians never wanted anyone else to invade their country becuase they were the first settlers of this country.
 * 3) I think the message in this film about the settlement/Invasion of Australia and the impacts on the first Australians is they were the first settlers of Australia and they shouldn't of been taken over by the New Discoverers. If the new discoverers did not take over Australia we would not be here right now at this moment in time.
 * 4) My evaluation of this episode is that I think this video was very informative about the first Australians on how hey live and what they do to survive in the country. I have also learnt that Discoverers from other countries have said they discovererd Australia but in actual fact they didn't. The Aboriginals discovered Australia first.


 * 1) Description - Colonists: Are Aboriginal settlers or founders of a colony.
 * 2) Settlers - One who settles in a new region.
 * 3) Invaders - to intrude upon: to invade the privacy of a family.
 * 4) British - of or pertaining to Great Britan or its inhabitants.
 * 5) Whites - of the colour of pure snow, of the margains of this page, etc.; reflecting nearly all the rays of sunlight or a similar light.
 * 6) Europeans - A native or inhabitant of Europe.

4. I think "Colonists" is most appropriate and the most accurate because it descibes who are the colonists. 5. No it couldn't be possible that different words have different meaning and aplicability at different periods because words change meanings over mass periods of time.

6. Aborigines - The earliest known inhabitants of a country; Native races. i.e. Australia. Indigenous inhabitants - Can be used to describe any ethnic group of people i.e. (Aborigines). Who inhabit a region (Australia). They have the earliest known historical connection. First Australians - The indigenous people lived in Australia for tens of thousands of years before the European settlers arrived. Australians - People relating to Australia or its peoples, languages, or cultures. Eora Nation - The original owners of the Sydney City district are the Cadigal band.

9. I think Aborigines is most appropriate and most accurate definition of what these people are, and what they did that was historical to this country.

=Reconciliation=

1. Paul Keating is saying about non-Aboriginal Australians past actions and about this period is that we Australians now never think of what happened to the aboriginals and we didn't think that if this happened to us we wouldn't like to happen to us. In this period of time the problem started with us non-aboriginal Australians not knowing much about the Aboriginal Australians history and what they had to go through in their lives.

2. I would respond to these claims by agreeing on what Paul Keating said about non-Aboriginal Australians past actions and about this period. Us new Australians should have some time to think about what the aboriginal Australians had done.

4. "How Sorry Can We Be?" well in my views i think we can be extremely sorry because this has never happened to us what the aboriginals had to go through. The Aboriginals were very brave when, they had to fight the European explorers and us Non-Aboriginal Australians never had to go through anything that the Aboriginals had to go through. I think we should accept the past as it was and to the best we can in the future.
