Deleted the subheading " Aborigine also mean's in english "ill bash ya ...removed (is this humour or racism?) " " (sic). -- Hotel city 07:48, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
Page changed from redirect ( Indigenous peoples), to a disambig for Aborigine/Aboriginal...see Talk:Indigenous_peoples#Common_Sense_for_a_Disambiguation -- cjllw | TALK 05:10, 2005 Jun 15 (UTC)
Why do we have a aborigine page and a aborigine (disambiguation) page? the disambiguation page doesn't disambiguate anything that isn't already on the aborigine, it is merely less complete and informative. The aborigine page should say "disambiguation" and the current disambiguation page should be removed. If ther are no objections, ill do it soon. -- Ballchef 00:56, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
Any replies, please post at Talk:aborigine (disambiguation) thanks. -- Ballchef 04:52, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
The intro says "...peoples who are native to a land..." and says "native" twice more. Is this a correct use of the word, or should these say "indigenous", "pre-colonial" or something? Native includes all people born in a place, not just of pre-historic ancestry in that place. -- ScottDavis 06:46, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

I undid the edit by User:OrganicAtom. The term indigenous Australian includes two broad ethnic groups: The Torres Strait Islanders (originally from the Torres Strait Islands and far northern Queensland) and the Australian Aborigines (presently a redirect to Indigenous Australians) which refers to over 300 language groups of the original inhabitants of the rest of the Australian mainland, some adjacent islands, and Tasmania. -- Scott Davis Talk 07:03, 10 February 2007 (UTC) Hello. I wanted to know who these aborgnes are. Were these slaves like in America? This page is short and does not tell me who they are. Why were the aborignes in Australia, I am new here in Western Australia. My friends at college did not know/ Vicki R 12:06, 17 February 2007 (UTC) so is keane. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.27.190.203 ( talk) 21:44, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
According to Gillissen (2004): Kulturschock Australien, Bielefeld: Peter Rump, Australian Aborigines/Aboriginals dislike being called Aborigines and prefer always to be referred to by (the principally adjectival form) Aboriginals. From that point of view, the article should redirect from Aborigines to Aboriginals rather than vice versa. -- Jan Hansen, 2-12-2007 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.14.17.70 ( talk) 17:06, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
True. The departments of the Australian government, academic institutions, community and social organisations all use the word Aboriginal as both the noun and adjective. The truth of the matter is that there is no such thing as an Aborigine. In other words, the indigenous peoples of Australia are not one. They are different nations which differing (though bgroadly similar) languages, customs, spirituality and technology.-- Gazzster ( talk) 04:54, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
The term "Aborigine" is an umbrella word used to describe all such folk, no matter how they subdivide themselves or others do it for them. I personally use the term "Aboriginal Australian" to specify Australian aboriginal people rather than the aborigines of (say) Japan or America. I note that this is a disambiguation page - perhaps the OP is unaware of the wider meaning? -- Pete ( talk) 05:34, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
Sure, many people still use the word aborigine, and it could be noted it is the vulgar, but technically incorrect word. But really, aborigine should redirect to Aboriginal, not the other way around. It looks bad, wouldn't you agree?-- Gazzster ( talk) 05:46, 23 December 2007 (UTC) THIS DOESN"T HELP ME AT ALL !! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.208.3.13 ( talk) 07:00, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

There's a link to Caucasian under "Aboriginal Peoples in Europe". To what does this refer? White people in general, or people from the Caucausus? The link goes to a disambiguation page. --... discospinster talk 00:09, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
The term "Aborigine" is not widely used today, but has been until recently. It is not an exclusively colonial term and was in general use throughout the Twentieth Century. Even less so for "Aboriginal Australian", a term widely used by contemporary reliable sources. A quick google of news sources shows many current uses, such as this one from the ABC. -- Pete ( talk) 07:31, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
The current use of the term "Aborigine" and "Aboriginal" is widespread in all communities, including Aboriginal Australian contexts. A google search yields thousands of mentions, covering every conceivable usage. -- Pete ( talk) 10:23, 20 September 2021 (UTC)NAIDOC stands for National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee. Its origins can be traced to the emergence of Aboriginal groups in the 1920′s which sought to increase awareness in the wider community of the status and treatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians. - NAIDOC history
