To what extent can we generalize about contact between Aborigines and other societies
Essay When we talk about generalization of certain topics we usually talk about a statement with no detail, which can lead to a false understanding. ... I believe that we can generalize about contact between Aborigines and other societies to a certain degree. ...

You can almost certainly say that whenever whites came into contact with blacks a language barrier became apparent especially in cases like the Nyari tribe and Lardil people. When the escaped convicts McNabb (Hair of fire) and Finlay (Man of the sea) came into contact with the Nyari tribe their was a different level of understanding for both of the men. ... This language barrier between Finlay and the Nyari ended up being the reason for his death when he broke one of their laws and was speared for raping a Nyari girl.
