Aboriginal land and the white settlement

I am attempting to be kind here to my own. If you notice in the movie Australia, they seem to easily gloss off that the land the Cattle Station is on was originally aboriginal land. I saw something today that made me realize that we, the decendants of the British Colonials are the nomads. The aboriginal people have been connected to this land over a much greater length of time than any other race or nation on earth.

Black america and aboriginal australia

Aboriginal australia suffered slavery too. With many aboriginals working in large houses up until at least the 1930's and having curfews at night. Can we overcome just as they did in the USA? Australia, the movie - maybe The proposition or The Chant of Jimmy Blacksmith or even Rabbit Proof Fence are more representational of our true history. SORRY
