<span style="font-size: 80%; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(13, 13, 217);"> **Questions Part 1-** <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"> 1) After watching the film on first Australians I now understand and feel sorry for the Aborigines and what they went through. Their land was invaded and stolen from them leaving them homeless and poor. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"> 2) In Sydney on 26 January 1788 The first Australians meet the most powerful empire in history, The British. Their differences are immense but unease quickly turns to inquisitiveness. Friendships form like those of Aboriginal Bennelong and powerful Governor Arthur Phillip. Three years later, when Arthur and Bennelong leave for London, relationships between the two races have become bitter. Carnage worsens when British settlers invade the land. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"> 3) The episode explains to us in deep detail what happened to the Aboriginals. The message being broadcast is that innocent Aborigines land had been thieved from them of greed from the British. This may not have been the case if friendship, understanding and respect had occurred like in those cases of Bennelong & Arthur and William Dorse with his tender relationship with Perragang. These relationships were inspirational but that incentive was lost when they left. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"> 4) <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">To me it is utterly sad what happened to The first Australians in the end. It could have been different with a little respect. This Document has expanded my knowledge on Australian history which I am truly grateful for. After learning about the first Australians it has even motivated me to continue research in the future.

<span style="color: rgb(13, 13, 217);"> **Part 2-** 1) Definitions <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"> 4) I believe all of these terms relates relatively well to the People who invaded Aborigines land but the term, invaded, to me, is most accurate because that is exactly what they did. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"> 5) It is very likely and credible that the british people that invaded Australia's land. I believe that the Europeans were only coming to settle and use this land as if it was theirs and when this upset the Aborigines thats when things got out of hand. <span style="color: rgb(13, 13, 217);"> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"> 6) Definitions
 * <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">Colonists- A settler in or inhabitant of a colony.
 * <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">Settlers- A person who settles in an area.

 * Part 3-**

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"> 9) The Term I believe is the most accurate and appropriate is Aborigines. To me this is so because it is most popular and common term used amongst Australian people.
 * <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">Aborigines- A person, animal or plant that has been in a country or region from the earliest of times.

<span style="color: rgb(13, 13, 217);"> **Reconciliation questions** <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"> 1) What Keating is saying about non-Aboriginal Australians past actions and about this period was that we did so much harm to Aboriginals, their land, their families, their spiritual life and theirs lives but while we were doing this we were harming ourselves just as much in the long run. Keating protested for the Aboriginals which was rarely done formally before this time and expressed how he felt about this period of history. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"> 2) The claims that were made by Keating made me respond truly inspired and I am for what he has said.

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"> **John Hiest comment** 4) I believe we should except the past as it was and do the best we can for the future. I say this because similar scenarios have happened to other countries all over the world and because we are not the exact people who harmed the first Australians then we are not responsible for what they did. All we can do is feel sorry for the Aboriginals and do our best to set good heights for the future.
