1700's

**Families:**
Family 1: Was a family of three. The parents were Nyinda and Jackaloo. The child was Paddan. Paddan means Rosie. Family 2: Was a family of three children. Their parents never came back from the hunting trip. They lived with the Arrente tribe ever since. One child was called Arika she was the oldest. She helped the other women with their babies and the younger brother Burna helped the men make tools for hunting.The other sister, Akala, the youngest, was to make things to keep them warm and helped the tribe with paint for skin. The Aboriginies lived in small groups of about three dozen people.

**Transport:**
To get around in water we made bark canoes out of tree's, with extra wood we made paddles, the canoes could travel for 100s of kilometers. Or when needing to travel on land we would walk. They made little boats that was made out of wood and bamboo. The Aboriginal people did a lot of running for transport that is how they got around when they hunt they ran and walked to kill animals because they did not have cars.

**Jobs:**
Jackaloo's job was to go out and find food for the tribe using spears, sometimes gone for days. When it was bed time everyone would go to sleep except one male who would protect the tribe from other tribes. Nyinda would cook and prepare the foods. Or sometimes would start the fire. Nyinda was also the main mother and would look after the children when needed. Sometimes when the tribe would have a celebration Paddan would make a dot painting. Mostly plants and animals, but that was when we had enough colors and paints. Burna's job is to make hunting tools and to hunt for the tribe. He was able to make his own spears from wood and bark canoes from trees.His favourite animal to hunt was dingos because they were so pestering around the tribe except for warray when he helped. Some jobs are hunting, making hunting tools, things to keep people warm, making homes for the family, cooking dinner, getting fruit from the plants,getting water to drink,making a fire to dance around Even as early as 60 000 years ago one of the most common jobs was trading and one of the most common items to trade was a pearl shell, people used to cut the rough edges away and left flat shiny discs, they then drilled a small hole at the top so people could wear them as pendants, some even had scratched pictures or designs. After that some traders had to walk as much as a thousand kilometres to get to the nearest market so they could sell the pearl shells.

**Clothing:**
They wore branches and leaves as clothing and alot of them wore nothing at all.

**Our Foods:**
They killed animals for there skins and meat. To find their food the men scattered out and hunted animals like kangaroos, deer and also simple things like emu, lizards, birds, even snakes. They ate grubs by finding them in the ground. So they ate off their land, natural stuff. Their favorite is goanna. Aboriginals killed dugongs but they did not kill pregnant dugongs. They killed turtles with ropes and killed mullets and trevally by spears When white people came to Australia Aboriginals it was hard to find food in the bush The aboriginals hunt for there food then they cook it on the fire. They also killed sting rays with speers. The women went out and gathered the fruit. The women were the main importance of the gathering and preparing's of the food.

**Tribes:**
The tribe is called Arrente but pronounces erenda. Other tribes cross their lands but they had protectors and made treaties with the other tribes so they would be friends. But they had their enimies. Like the Kolonera tribe. They had stolen their tucker and weapons would disappear and have even killed. That happened when their food supplies were low and there wasn't much to go around. They lived in the central part of Australia and they lived in pure forest. Their family had lived there for generations.My grandmother told them dream time stories.Their tribe taught us their traditional dances. A lot of the time Aboriginal tribes told stories by dancing, usually around a big fire. They also told stories by doing cave paintings and rock engravings. Remember they couldn't go down to Mitre 10 and get some Dulux, they had to make there own using different natural materials like crushed rocks, water and also things like ground up leaves. When white people came to Australia they fought with Aboriginal tribes.

They got taught everything from their grandmothers and grandfathers. Men were taught how to hunt by their grandfathers. Their dream time stories also taught them special things they needed to know. They did not have school when they were born so they will not have a good education but there family taught them what they knew about. They learnt their skills from other men in the tribe eg. hunting,fishing,building.

Languages:
They speak a lot of languages they have a lot. every aboriginal tribe had a different language. Aborigines was not the name that the aboriginals called themselves the europeans called them aborigines because that means first inhabitants of the land. Huts: Their huts were made out of sticks, wood and kindling. Sometimes when they didn't have enough huts some of them would have to sleep in the trees. Most of the males didn't sleep because they need to protect the tribe. The Aboriginals live in huts they had to make them there self aboriginals live in huts, trees on the ground and more places. The Aboriginals sometimes lived in stone huts that they made.
