Aboriginal poople
Although the first Inhabitants
of
Australia have been identified by physical characteristics,
culture,
la"lluage
, ancllocale, none of these attributes truly establishes a person as a mem-
ber of the Aborlgh'lal People, Because the Aboriginal groups settled
In
various geographical
areas
and developed customs and lifestyles that reflected the resources available
to

them,
there is great diversity among those groups, including more than
200 li
"lluishc
varieties.
Probably the most
striki"ll
comparison is that
01
the Aboriginal People who inhabit the
desert terrain
01
the Australian Outback with those who live
alo"ll
the coast. Clearly, their,
societies have developed very different cultures. Acoording
to
the Department
01
Educa-
tion, the
best way
to
establish identity as a member of
the
Aboriginal People is to be identl-
lied and accepted as such
by
the Aboriginal community .
