"TASMANIA"


4 of 12

For most Tasmanians of aborignal descent, living conditions are substandard. Nathan Wigg (13), after being frequently teased by his mates because of his heritage, tries to skip school to skateboard, to watch TV or play video games instead. No full-blooded Tasmanian Aborigines have survived mainly as a result of the brutal annihilation campaigns in the 19th century. Though still facing racism, they have lately started to regain their cultural identity.
