The Aboriginal peoples were humans native to Australia.

History

Circa 40,000 BC, the Aboriginal peoples were taught how to sing by a group of Euterpians. (PROSE: Invasion of the Cat-People) They had a dance ceremony called the corroboree. (AUDIO: Psychodrome)

Circa 35,500 BC, one group of Aboriginal people was met by the Monarch and other Urbankans. The Urbankans abducted an aboriginal leader named Kurkutji and others, mainly for the purpose of performance (dance and didgeridoo). The Urbankans took them back to Urbanka and later converted them to androids. After the Monarch was defeated by the Fifth Doctor, the Aboriginal androids decided to find another planet on which to settle. (TV: Four to Doomsday)

Aboriginal people also encountered the Nedenah in ancient times. (PROSE: The Devil Goblins from Neptune)

In October 1911, Nathaniel Whitlock had an Aboriginal bullroarer in his possession. (AUDIO: Moonflesh)

In the 1970s, a group of Aboriginal people aided the Third Doctor and Murray Stevens in thwarting Rudolph Steiner's Gemini Plan. (COMIC: Gemini Plan)

In 1994, when Chris Dent and Emma Wilding were building a railroad from Darwin to Alice Springs, they wanted to make sure it didn't damage any sites sacred to the Aboriginal peoples. (PROSE: Invasion of the Cat-People)

In 2010, Tegan Jovanka was fighting for Aboriginal rights. (TV: Death of the Doctor)

Behind the scenes

One of the pictures in the Doctor's photo album as seen in Exclusive!, a story not considered valid by this Wiki, was of seven Aboriginal people whom the caption stated were actually the seven incarnations of the Doctor trying to confuse the Cybermen.
