It's less a geographical or hemispheric distinction, and more a political one.

This page on imperial core is good.

Technically, Australian's aren't colonisers; they're victims of British colonisation.

Aboriginals are the victims

I presume whenever u say american u always mean amerindians and never anglo-americans.

Also, I call them "Native Americans".
