Final answer:

The information provided does not directly answer the question about the Aboriginal tribes' reaction to the First Fleet in 1788, which is separate from the American Revolutionary War. Reports suggest Aboriginal reactions ranged from curiosity to hostility, but no specific details for January 25 are recorded.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question seems to be about events that took place during the period of the First Fleet's arrival in Australia versus the American Revolutionary War events. However, there seems to be a mix-up in historical context because the provided information pertains to the American Revolutionary War whereas the question refers to the Aboriginal tribes' reaction to the British First Fleet mooring in Sydney Harbour on January 25, 1788. For accuracy, I must clarify that the Aboriginal people's reaction to the First Fleet's arrival in Sydney Harbour is a separate historical event from the American Revolutionary War mentioned in the given excerpts.

Regarding the First Fleet landing in Australia, reports from that time suggest that the local Aboriginal tribes' reactions ranged from curiosity to hostility. No detailed recorded reactions from January 25 specifically are available, but the prolonged presence of the British led to resistance and conflicts with the Aboriginal people as the colony expanded.

To answer similar questions correctly, it's important to focus on the right historical context and period. The First Fleet’s arrival in Sydney marked the beginning of European colonization of Australia, which greatly affected the Aboriginal communities living there. This was a separate event from the American Revolutionary War, which involved the American colonies' fight for independence from British rule.
