STILL HERE - invasion
Not long after the Europeans arrived war broke out between the two races, in many different forms.
For a long time the Europeans denied that the Aboriginal people fought back, in order to deny that these people existed and that they had a culture. To acknowledge the fact that the Aboriginal people fought in proper battles and that they used tactics in war would suggest that they had intelligence and a possibly culture to protect. This would identify the Europeans as Invaders.
