    Hi Seekers! We wanted to address the comments regarding the lack of information in this video. While we were in Djarindjin, we filmed a lot with Vincent and his family. We learned about their culture and even had the opportunity to try the food they hunted on the beach. Unfortunately, a lot of the footage was corrupted after we left. We were very upset and did our best to salvage what we had. We apologize that we couldn't provide the level of detail we originally planned. Hopefully, we can return in the future and share everything we learned.

    My heart goes out to the Natives of Australia. I’m Canadian First Nation and we were put thru the same “schools” and it destroyed my dad’s generation and mine. my dad doesn’t know his parents, he was taken away and never saw them again. my dad doesn’t even know which Tribe he’s from. the result is that my brothers and I are completely disconnected from our ancestors’ culture. i never knew the English did the same thing to Australian Natives too. I honestly don’t know what my generation can do to bring our culture back..

      Nothing can take the away the wrong done in the past. However. If you or your dad are curious there's a real possibility to pinpoint your heritage by using one of the DNA testing companies popular these days. They've gone to great lengths to gather samples from even super remote/sparsely populated areas. You may at least get the opportunity to discover some genetic link to your ancestors. My heart also goes out to anyone who was ripped away from their family and culture because of the actions of a religious sect as we've seen in so many places throughout history.

      migration to australia has occurred on multiple time frames according to sea levels. people were inevitably in PNG before setting foot on Australian soil. 90% or more of people who identify as aboriginal are mixed race. the world is full of mixed race people. every person on this planet is mixed race. SO if you arrived in australia with the dingo about 5-7000 years ago good chance you are related to the indians of asia. if you arrived here in australia say 100,000 years ago you are a derivative of another culture from somewhere else. humanity did not start in australia - it started in other parts of the world. +++ what exactly do you mean by culture ??? poor choice of words really. me personally i am part of the oldest culture on earth stretching back 200,000 years to africa - then my ancestors moved to europe, then they travelled by boat to australia. as did most migrants of times gone by.

Children were taken from their families to attend residential schools. Many of them were abused and died, never to come home to their families. Our government, the churches, and many others have been trying to make up for our horrible past through reconciliation but we still have a long way to go, especially in light of all the graves of hundreds of dead children that have been discovered in recent years.

      I think you should do more research into your own culture at the National Archives Museum in Australia before you make such claims and belittle other countries and civilisations. I seen videos of Aboriginals in the 1940-1950s that found adapting to the new way of the world the British created far too complex and hard for them to adapt to so they chose to continue living in the stone age endlessly roaming the country without purpose or direction. Before the documentary Cannibal Isles disappeared off the face of the planet in recent years it showed how life was before the British went to Australia, infanticide was routinely practiced in Aboriginal culture. The British put an end to that shit. It even showed Aboriginal women being traded to the British by Aboriginal men in exchange for goods and food and the British men would go on to then trade them back in England, if it even shows Aboriginal women willingly leaving their tribes to fo with the British for a better life because they were sick of the abuse from Aboriginal men and felt safer and had a better quality of life with the British back in England. And throughout the entire world Australians are the only ones promoting "genocide" every scholar and researcher i know worldwide has never found a single shred of evidence that points to genocide. you cant deny the killings but to categorise that as genocide without actual factual evidence besides the written texts from the British themselves(Aboriginals were known for not keeping records) the closet thing to a genocide would be when an Aborginal group of allegedly 200 surrounded a British soldier and his wife in which 4-10 Aboriginals were eventually killed. it was reported more than 60 years later that 200 were killed based on the stories of future generations which were told by a Aboriginal man who was alive at that time but wasn't at the actual incident and lived in a completely different state at the time. I remember that Prime Minister of Australia back in the early 2000s refusing to apologize because he didnt accept the "stolen generations" narrative because there were indigenous people saying they were thanking the british came because their lifestyle was far worse off without them and the big division it created in Australia at the time with Aboriginals who believed in the genocide (which was never ever considered until some guy in the 1980s decided to write about it) and the Aboriginals who said there was killings but not a genocide were being called racists by their very own people for not believing in a genocide... A very funny strange context of history someone should make a documentary about that piece of history in Australia for the world to see how much that country changed from being diverse to now being divided and censored. Truely a great story of the downfall of a once great land.

      The last few years have been incredibly eye opening for me as an American as well.

Kudos to you, Yes Fam and everyone else who acknowledges that the harm done in the past is worthy of being a lesson as well as a cautionary tale of history repeating itself if we don't stay vigilant.

    This makes me so emotional because I'm a German who lived in Australia for a while. First of all I myself didn't try to learn enough about this ancient culture when I was there (I caught up on that later on though). And when I lived in Perth I saw lots of Natives in the streets every day struggling to fit in because they were forced away from their rural communities due to government decisions. Some didn't even know how to speak English, others were trying to get money from the bank but couldn't answer when the teller asked for their dates of birth. Others were drinking alcohol in public places all day. It was heartbreaking to see it every day. This is such a fascinaing culture with so much history and you captured it so well in this video!

    I wish out of a few weeks spending time learning about the indigenous cultures we could have learned more from this video.
    We have had the same sort of horrors here in Canada with our residential schools, with cultures and languages and land and children being stripped away, and my heart goes out to the indigenous people of Australia and around the world who have fought to keep their traditions and culture alive.

    Very similar history and situation here in Canada. Very unfortunate.
    I can relate to cam... Where we were raised and taught my the publish (British) schools. We were not told about the history nor culture of the first Nations people. Only started learning recently, and have been learning about decolonization. Very eye opening.

Now before every official meeting or assembly we pay homage to the land owners and elders past and present, it's the Dharawal people in southwest Sydney 🤗

    As a Canadian, it's so devastating and educating to hear that the churches there were doing the EXACT same thing to their indigenous cultures as where I live. It's something that is slowly being educated here but is definitely not taught readily, and needs to be discussed more as part of overall world history.

They came back 5 years later and took all the halfcasts and dropped them at orphanges in outer sydney. My dad has black curly blonde hair and broad bridged nose and is "very tan" and both of his "parents" are red headed irish immigrants lol. and thats just what they tell us.

    a few years back i was luck enough to visit Uluru and walked round part of it. you dont fully get the immensity of it until you see it up close, and when I was there i could feel this aura of history and almost serenity in some places (the places that were more auspicious where photos are not allowed to be taken). it was truly amazing and i hope to go back some day.
    also, one of the best night skies ever out there. we drove ~5 mins out of the only town for 100s of kilometers and it was beautiful. have never seen it so clear.

    • @thebuilder2018
      @thebuilder2018 Před měsícem

      you need to wake up then because the aboriginals never claimed it as a sacred place until the government decided to list it as a national site stories to this day aboriginals still argue with each other about the "spiritual" history behind it but hey i guess that what happens when you have over 500 tribes in a country with over 500 different stories and youre expected to believe every single one.. even if the tribe had never ever been to uluru...

      migration to australia has occurred on multiple time frames according to sea levels. people were inevitably in PNG before setting foot on Australian soil. 90% or more of people who identify as aboriginal are mixed race. the world is full of mixed race people. every person on this planet is mixed race. SO if you arrived in australia with the dingo about 5-7000 years ago good chance you are related to the indians of asia. if you arrived here in australia say 100,000 years ago you are a derivative of another culture from somewhere else. humanity did not start in australia - it started in other parts of the world. +++ what exactly do you mean by culture ??? poor choice of words really. me personally i am part of the oldest culture on earth stretching back 200,000 years to africa - then my ancestors moved to europe, then they travelled by boat to australia. as did most migrants of times gone by.

    @Ghostie03 Před rokem +19

    Canada has a similar 'stolen generation' although I'm not sure if there is a term for it, I was actually quite surprised to hear that they happened in similar time periods, with our residential schools, our term for the schools they would anglicanized indigenous youth, happening from the 1870s to the 1990s.
    In our education system, its always made for it to sound like the residential schools happened so long ago. showing photos from the earlier years of the school that are in black and white. But our last residential school closed in 1996. that's not even a generation before me, that is my generation

    Im a Filipino who came in Australia 4 years ago, and it changed my whole life. I came here a solid atheist. No beliefs, no religion, no nothing. I dealt with my childhood traumas here, practised entheogens such as psilocybin, read books about the Aborigine culture and just fell in love with Nature. I regularly meditate and read books to deepen my practice. I always end my meditation thanking Mother Nature and the Elders of the land past and present. They are always with me wherever I go. This land is Sacred for me, if people would just stop and listen to the Aborigines and the Land itself, I think we'll live in a more Peaceful and Loving world.
