6 NEW CULTURES

Era 1 – Pama-Nyungan (Aesthete)

Pama-Nyungan languages were spoken by groups who spread across most of Australia’s territory from the mid-Holocene era onward. Pama-Nyungan speakers brought not only their languages and social organization, but also new cultural and artistic practices as they set down roots.

Era 2 – Polynesians (Expansionist)

During the first millennium BCE’s final centuries, the triangle formed by the islands of Tonga, Samoa, and Uvea was the birthplace of Polynesian culture. In this vast expanse of ocean, the Polynesians developed innovative navigation techniques—with which they set out to conquer the Pacific. 

Era 3 – Rapa Nui (Builder)

The Rapa Nui colonized Easter Island around the 1100s. On this isolated territory, they managed to overcome difficult conditions to survive, make use of the land’s mineral resources, and cover their ground with monumental statues and ceremonial structures. 

Era 4 – Māori (Militarist)

Māori populations mainly settled on Te Ika-a-Māui, the North Island. Here, they built a thriving and complex society, structured into clans and extended families, whose bonds of solidarity were maintained through conflicts and wars.

Era 5 – Hawaiians (Agrarian)

Starting in the late 1700s, Hawaiian society entered a period of deep changes. Political unification and increased contact with foreign cultures transformed their highly stratified systems, even as Hawaiians continued to steward the bounty of both land and sea.

Era 6 – New Zealanders (Scientist)

In the 1940s and 1950s, New Zealand accelerated its movement away from the British imperial framework. Over the following decades, its leaders widened the social model inherited from the Seddon and Savage governments, while also investing in technologies to ensure the country’s energy independence.

6 NEW WONDERS

What the F? Pama-Nyungan is a LANGUAGE, not a CULTURE! Even a 2-minute Google would have highlighted they should use the term Koorie for Indigenous Australian culture.

The Koorie people come from the area of Australia that is now New South Wales/ Victoria, not all of Australia.

There is much contention as to if one should use Aboriginal Australians or Indigenous Australians as the collective term. So, if you wanted to side step that, using the name of the language grouping is one way of doing it.

Firstly, that should highlight where I'm from in Australia.

Secondly, it's been long established protocol that when referring to Indigenous Australians, you refer to them how they wish to be referred to, or lacking that information, in the following order:
- First Nation Australian, or less preferred Indigenous Australian (which breaks down into)
- Aboriginal, or Torres Strait Islander (which breaks down into)
- Nation (which breaks down into)
- Community (which breaks down into)
- Mob

Ultimately, it is how they wish to be called first, and that is not language (that I know of). Country (where you are from, the Nation) is the most important, first and foremost, over everything. Where I am, southern Victoria, it is the lands of the Boon Wurrung of the Kulin Nation. Our local gathering place Willum Warrain is on the lands of the Boon Wurrung.
