Australian Aborigines (11 pics)

Very interesting photos.

they are interesting people. sometimes get a bad rap though.

Interesting.

Until the 70's they were still being considered animals by the Australian government

I heard that they are the only race that completely digests their corn. That's right if you check their poop the day after eating corn...you will see no kernals !!!

oddly enough they CAN'T digest spaghetti and their customs do not allow them to chew pasta. They must swallow it whole and therefore you CAN see the noodles completely intact in their poop the very next day! Missionaries thought that the tribesman had worms and ended up giving them TOO MUCH

medicine and killed some of them until a stool sample was sent to a lad to identify the species of worms that were in the poop.

Do these people know you were taking photo's, and did they know what you were going to do with them? Do you understand the cultural impact of publishing them? Do you know how these people feel about photo's of those who have "passed"? I guess these questions are worth asking of photography of any people whose culture is different to our own.

Interesting shots.

Pretty swarthy. almost cro-magnon

isn't that just like south africa considered black people before the era of nelson mandella

Talk about some ugly folks

Classic pics.

Wow, they look pre-historic - even more than the Mayas...

Very distinct looking people, yet people just the same.
