When did the Meakambut first encounter Australian government officials? Why do you think it took so long for such an encounter to occur?

Answer 2

The Meakambut only found members of the Australian government in 1966. This meeting was slow to happen because the Meakambut are a very small group that have nomadic habits and like to stay in remote and difficult to find environments.

Step-by-step explanation:

Meakambut is a very small nomade ethnic group. It is estimated that there are less than 60 people in the Meakambut group. In addition, they do not usually socialize with other peoples, as they have nomadic habits, making frequent trips and taking shelter in very remote environments. These habits hindered the contact between that people and the Australian government that only met in 1966.
