"Aborigine"


just a quick question .. perhaps it was mentioned but I missed.

In the beginning of the movie, when George and his sister were sitting there talking, Serena was riding her horse ...
The sister tells George that Serena is practically an Aborigine.
Did she mean she is part Aborigine, or is that some kind of expression ... ?

Can someone please explain ?

Thanks

It means "native".

Ok. I am aware of the meaning of the word ABORIGINE: Australian natives etc ..
But the way the sister said it, and the fact that Serena does Not really look like one at all .. I was wondering if she was being "mean", as calling her a derogatory term.

I think she just meant that Serena was very much a country girl. Or that she was very comfortable with the woods and she was tough.
