Abstract

Land is now the most important source of economic riches. In fact, imperialism was an exercise aimed at getting control of the lands of Native people who were living a very contented life in their native lands. The arrival of the imperialists altered the situation and the native people were displaced from their lands. This created severe health problems for the natives because for them land was not only a commodity; it was an ancestor, a nourisher, fountain head of their culture and existence. So once they were removed from their lands they became distresses and developed the diseases which were unknown among them. The current paper studies the problems generated by the theft of land among the Aborigines.
