The Australian First Nations have a history that dates back 50,000 years.

We in the UK are made up of a range of historical groups none of which go back that far with the biggest additions to the the culture and population of the British Isles before our visits to other areas of the world I believe were Germanic tribes for the Anglo-Saxons, and Norse Vikings in the form of the Normans.

As for drawing you into a very difficult discussion, why is it difficult? You chose to use the word 'indigenous', so why do you now not want to talk about what you mean by that?
