Answer 2

Answer:

A. People on most Pacific Islands are indigenous, while in Australia the Aborigines make up a minority of the poulation.

Explanation:

Today the Maori make up 15% of the New Zealand population. While Aboriginal people make up only 1% of the Australian population. This pattern is repeated in almost all European colonized countries, where the native population corresponds to the smallest part of the general population of the country. In most of these countries, Europeans stymied, abused, and murdered the natives, so there are so few today. However, the Pacific Islands show a different result, as most of the population is indigenous and have managed to maintain their cultures, traits and languages through the centuries.
