The very last Australian Aboriginals living their traditional hunter gatherer lifestyle made contact with civilization in 1986. It's crazy to think about that until just 40 years ago there were still Aboriginals living in the outback as if colonization had never happened, hunting kangaroos with spears, sleeping under the stars, etc. It's a shame that they gave up their old ways if you ask me.1984 is often incorrectly sited as the year the last nomadic Aboriginals contacted civilization, when the Pintupi Nine emerged form the Gibson Desert. However the true Nomadic Aboriginals were the Richter Family, who were discovered in 1986. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pintupi_Ninehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richters_(Australian_Aboriginal_family)Here's an interview with some of the Pintupi Nine. These people are living history.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kXwvZWmYLk [Embed]
I really wonder how continued contact with the Indonesians and Europeans would've changed these fellas if they weren't colonized.
