As Americans we are not always aware of all the incidents happening in the world. Most of the times in America we are only aware of events that directly affect our country. Events that should affect us all on a more humane level are the treatment of the Aboriginal people of Australia. The people of Australia where believed to have crossed there on an ice made bridge during the ice…whatever the reason for them being in Australia, they were there before the Europeans arrived. At this time the aborigines are suffering from lots of problems that have limited their success and chances of living a satisfying life in Australia.
