Perhaps, yes - or Adult Shops are being forbidden in your area?

Shocka ,

No Aboriginal Warriors?? You are having a lend of us again .

What a shame you missed living at Parramatta in the early years of Australia's white settlement.

Most white Aussis know very little about our Indigenous people and their ancient or modern history.

This is to be expected .

Howard certainly won't go into detail about it in his new history syllabus.

kartiya jim, please present some *verifiable evidence* for a warrior class among Aboriginals.

The implements used *as* weapons against colonists were mostly *hunting tools* like boomerangs and spears.

Throwing a spear at somebody does not make you a "warrior".

As conflict exists within all societies, some non-hunting weapons and protective shields may have existed for hand-to-hand combat or self-defence.

The existence of some people possessing such hunting tools or personal weapons does not constitute a "warrior class".

Warriors are a *specific social class* whose job is to protect territory from invasion by other tribes.

Maoris had them. Native Americans had them. Africans had them.

If you don't believe in "territory" though, you don't need "warriors" (though you may still have violence within your society and therefore some weapons).

Simply living *nomadically* within a certain area doesn't mean you think of it as "territory".
If they'd believed in "territory", they would have had a warrior class.

And if they did, there wouldn't have just been *occasional* scuffles with colonists using hunting tools either.

The tribes would have formed a *military alliance* to drive out the "invaders".
This didn't happen.

Warrior classes would already have existed *before* colonisation too, not simply develop in reaction to it, and therefore evidence of inter-tribal warfare should also *predate* colonisation.
Is there evidence of these pre-colonial wars?

It's a month later, kartiya jim, and we're still waiting for that "evidence"?

Shocka,

Aboriginals didn't need "warrior Classes " - they combined when necessary to attempt to drive out invaders .

Read about the Kalkadoons in Qld .

Why do you think there are so many languages in Australia?

These don't arrive and are maintained by accident - they take effort and respect from neighbours to maintain .

Most Australians know very little about Aboriginal People - this is unfortunate as they try to fit them into a more familiar old world mould ,when their lives were governed by the Australian Environment .

What Jupiter might do a bull is restricted to, as ancient slogan tells.

Day-by-day discriminative factual oppression of non-Anglos in Australia is a matter of “tradition” as, for instance, in Africa whites are rightful land-owners, according to the UK-lead chorus of the Anglos.
