Description of language and culture of indegenious people before
colonisation
The way indigenous peoples lived was very different to how we live today. They lived
in small communities and survived by hunting and gathering. The men would hunt
large animals for food and women and children would collect fruit, plants and berries.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island communities only used the land for things that
they needed - shelter, water, food, weapons.They never overused it or damaged it.
The Aboriginal languages that were spoken by the largest number of Indegenious
people were Cree languages, Ojibway, Oji‑Cree, Dene and Montagnais
Places where colonists landed
● The first colony landed at Jamestown, Virginia. Many of the people who
settled in the New World came to escape religious persecution. The Pilgrims,
founders of Plymouth, Massachusetts, arrived in 1620. In both Virginia and
Massachusetts, the colonists flourished with some assistance from Native
Americans.
● Along the western and eastern coasts of Africa
