Taking into account the Aborigines' Dreamtime tradition, why did native Aborigines view the European colonization of Australia as a belligerent

action?

Answer 1

"Because Dreamtime connected the Aborigines to the natural Australian landscape, the British colonization of Australia was seen as destructive to the Aborigines themselves.
