Geometric painting is a colour-related study in which the surrounding colours influence one colour. This is the concept I have used here to explain my views about assimilation, that is, assimilation is and was, not to change Islanders, but to add to their skills and technologies with other modern world progress. An example is, Islanders knew how to sail their luggers around what is now the Torres Strait. The introduction of luggers to the area and Islanders, all they needed to add to their already lived knowledge was how to operate the boat. Once they knew this, they mastered it and added it to the boat to make it stable, like adding fin stabilisers from their knowledge of canoes having outriggers.
