  • Aboriginal term(s) for Australia?

    Tonight on the CBC Radio One program Reclaimed, which
    features indigenous music from Turtle Island and around
    the world, the host referred to “so-called Australia”.

    So does that mean there is no name agreed on by
    “Australian" aboriginals? Are there several names?

    Anyway, greetings from Newfoundland, where it is
    still Krampusnacht, and I am hoping to put a cramp
    in the lives of many criminals worldwide.

    I've never considered that .... and as there never was ONE 'Aboriginal'
    nation (as far as I know), I doubt they had one unified name for the
    continent, either.

    Apparently there were about 500 families/tribes/nations prior to the
    White man getting here .... and claiming it was "Terra Nullius" ('No
    Mans Land') and taking it all and calling it "Australia".
