Indigenous Australians are undoubtedly one of the most famous but probably least known and understood peoples in the world. They have an impressive cultural tradition, but at the same time there is a huge civilizational gap separating them from us.

Drama among Indigenous Australians
It is rare for people to be harmed in Indigenous Australian communities to be white people, especially white women. First Nations societies drive the blade of violence into themselves.
