Good work Patricia, thanks for sending this information! Can I help you with a couple of sentences?
it thought that they arrived = It is thought they arrived...
they order the aborigines go out from the places = ..ordered the Aborigenes to leave the places.. Or you could say: They pushed the Aborigenes off the land..
See you again soon!
