Aboriginal Australians in USA

[Breathe]

I was born in one of the most diverse cities in USA: New York City. I have met a person from almost every type of background. Did you know that there are some New Yorkers who speak languages even today that are extinct In Europe?

Anyways, I have never seen aboriginal Australians. I wonder if we have any here

I once was able to look it up on some search program, though I can vaguely recall it so don't remember which it was, I searched state by state, and found a single individual, granted Inprobably didn't do all the states.

You struggle to find any even in Australia, so don't feel left out.

There was a community of Aboriginal Australians living in South Central Los Angeles in the early 80s. My cousin in law was a police officer there from 1981-1984 and so told me about it. They apparently sailed to California in the 1960s on abandoned Chinese Junk ships. Like the Samoans, they tended to join or emulate the Crips gangs. As far as I am aware, there were only ever 60-70 of them in Los Angeles. At their peak they had formed a gang called the Mulga Wood Crip Set. Apparently, all of them died either from homelessness or violence by 1985 although a few of the women may have survived and gotten government jobs. Some of males may still be out there straggling, disoriented and nearly braindead, perhaps living as hunter gatherers off of sewer rats or stray dogs.

I don't know if there are any Aboriginal Australians in these videos but it is an accurate depiction nevertheless.

I've seen bushmen dressed up like The Gods Must be crazy around here many times, and autralian aboriginals a few times, too. Lucky me.

No, we don't have any, thank God.

That'll boomerang.

Yes, Samoans (Australoid-Mongoloid mixes) would be the closet approximation.

I don't think so. There are as many as 800 languages spoken in New York City, and nowhere in the world has more than Queens, according to the Endangered Language Alliance (ELA). And many of these languages are not European, I'm pretty sure the only way you get to 800 is by counting every dialect you possibly can.

Plus they don't seem to provide any sources, only that they 'estimate' there being 800. Not saying this is incorrect, but I remember during the 2012 Olympic bidding that New York put forward the statement "more than 200 languages are spoken daily" then removed it when London countered with "more than 300 languages are spoken daily". It went from <300 to ~800 in 10 years.

LaGuardia Community College used to say that they had over 200 languages spoken on campus. I didn't even know there were that many languages actively spoken in the world, let alone in one single dinky community college.

Nope. Aborigines from Australia are a small minority. I don't think they own any grocery stores in NYC, considering the fact there are less than 100 abos that own and operate stores in Australia alone. Few Aborigines have the work ethic to own a small business, let alone the self restraint and financial acumen to keep the business afloat.

I’m likewise curious about whether any Amerindians ever went to Australasia. I don’t want to go as far as to say none at all, because that’s a bold claim in an age of travel, globalization and overpopulation, but I can’t find any information about this online at all.

I don’t just mean people with Amerindian ancestry, I mean pure or almost pure Amerindians, because a lot of people have Native American ancestry and like to say that they’re “Indian”, but to me that’s not the same thing as being really Native American, that’s just having ancestry, maybe a reason is because alot of people want organizational and government benefits. There seems to be a similar situation regarding Australian aboriginals.

There doesn’t seem to be much of a history and information about natives of the New Worlds, which I understand means the Americas and Australasian, visiting the Old World, and of natives of the Americas and Australasia visiting each other, and especially outside of Europe, like native Americans and Australasians visiting Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

There’s much more a history of native Americans in Europe than there is for Aboriginal Australians, Maori and Pacific Islanders in Europe, I can’t seem to find any information about native australasians abroad at all. Maybe that’s not surprising as Europe and America are just across the Atlantic from each other, in contrast to Australasia. Native American presence in Europe dates all the way back to Columbus as he brought some back to the royal court, and I recall that Squanto lived in Europe for a while before returning to America, look him up if you don’t know who he is. Most native Americans in Europe throughout history seem to have been chiefs visiting Europe for diplomatic reasons, and I recall circuses and exhibitions as well for the last two centuries. I can find no such equivalents for Australasian natives. Natives of both New Worlds seem to have been very susceptible to Old World diseases, it’s a wonder how native Americans managed to travel to Europe and survived.

It would be cool or neat if any Australian aboriginals went to Africa. I know there’s been a lot of Africans in Australia since the 2000s.

This may not be related, but I know that West Papuans Australoids often end up elsewhere in Indonesia, usually Java, which is logical because it’s in the same country, but I’m not aware of any australoids being elsewhere in Asia or the rest of the world for that matter.
