Abstract
With the arrival of James Cook in Australia, the white population began to settle down at the end of the XVIII century. However, they were not the first population on this wide land. Indeed, Indigenous Australians, composed of the Aborigines from the main land, and the inhabitants of Torres Strait Island, have been on this territory for more than 40,000 years. Despite their legitimate presence, the governments, in between 1788 and the 1970s, have all tried to exterminate these people, considered as 'animals', through non-human laws. Nevertheless, over the last 30 years, things have slowly changed, in order to integrate Indigenous Australians, despite the remaining racism, but also to preserve them from the worrisome drifts of the Western culture.
