8. LIFE FOR ABORIGINAL AT THE TIME
Life was hard for Aborgines during a lot of the
1900s. Many people didn’t let Aboriginal into
social places where the white people were, like the
pools, movies, motels and houses. Many people
saw them as disgusting and feral and judged them
by their dark skin and how they had lived.
