Aborigines are only Aborigines when they're 'traditionally' being traditional in their traditional isolation that made them what they are.

First Nation?
The concept of Nationality is something borrowed by Aboriginal activists from Europeans, it does not exist, even as a passing thought in Aboriginal culture.

The "First Nations" bs has been appropriated by aboriginal activists not from Europeans but from the native peoples of the Nth American continent. i.e. Canadian & Nth American Indians.
