Aboriginal poems. Contemporary Aboriginal poetry is an important part of Aboriginal art.
Many poems express how Aboriginal people feel today and their poems are about the challenges that they share with non-Indigenous people but also about problems specific to their lives. The Aboriginal-owned Koori Mail newspaper regularly publishes poems written by Aboriginal people. Call for poetry! Do you write poetry? Are you of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent?

The word was first used in Italy and Greece to describe people who lived there, natives or old inhabitants, not newcomers, or invaders. Whatever their early history, Aboriginals had settled throughout the entire continent many thousands of years before the white man came and had evolved a way of living that was in harmony with the environment, and that satisfied their needs. Because Australia was isolated from the rest of the world, Aboriginals had little contact with outside groups from whom to "borrow" techniques, to trade goods, to acquire crop seeds, or animals, as was happening in the North of the world.
It was only for a few centuries prior to white settlement that visitors came from islands to the north. Return to Menu. Indigenous Ed.

Multiculturalism sums up the way we handle the challenges and the opportunities of our cultural diversity.
Every Australian benefits from our diverseness, and all Australians have the right to be active and equal participants in Australian society. We should be free to live our own lives and uphold our cultural traditions, but to bear a favourable involvement in Australian society. Multiculturalism reflects a fresh way of envisaging the community of the nation.
It redefines our national identity to reflect the diversity of those who comprise our society. It's about and for every Australian and embraces the heritage of Indigenous Australians, early European colonisation, our Australian-grown customs and those of the diverse scope of migrants arriving in our country. An administration of unity and regard, multiculturalism acknowledges and celebrates Australia's cultural diversity and isn't a system of segmentation. Our Community.
