one could say they had it way better than most of the known world for a hell of a lot longer, the truth be told.
one just needs to look at ole blighty itself to see how often that occurred
if you want to go down the invasion route then they are just another defeated nation like just about everyone on the planet before them.
from what I have read, the culture was extremely similar to communism, most things shared, a few elders calling the shots, with punitive measures in place for any of the rest if they were naughty.
I recall the last documented couple (I heard of), coming in from the desert in about 1974. they wanted to be together when younger but the elders banished them for whatever reason, so they lived their lives on their own till they could do so no longer and were taken to where the relatives that kicked them out were living on a station or camp. that didn't last long I believe.
I have no idea what the solution may be, but it needs to be based on equality to have any chance of long term success IMHO
no idea how you achieve that, human nature hasn't come to terms with it yet from what I have seen and continue to witness.
