Blackfella

Blackfella (also blackfellah, blackfulla, black fella, or black fellah) is an informal term used in Australian English by Indigenous Australians, in particular Aboriginal Australians, to refer to themselves. It should be used with great care by white people, as it may be considered offensive by some.[1][2]
