- Is reconciliation between Australia's Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples possible? Cally Jetta maintains that it is not. Instead, she proposes that to build a harmonious future, we need to think differently and address our nation's history honestly.
Cally Jetta is passionate about Aboriginal education and working with at-risk teens. She lives in Mandurah on Noongar country and has taught secondary students for 10 years.
Cally administers the Blackfulla Revolution Facebook page - an Aboriginal activism and education forum that encourages and supports understanding and respect between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
She stands still and powerfully, speaks candidly to fact..., telling it like it is..... beautiful.... Australia 🇦🇺👍 ready for growth
Aboriginals today get MORE than every other race here in Australia. Money grab, land grab and every other race has to pay for Aboriginal privilege whilst feeding their own families.
Well don't know if that's true or not but even if that's the case i think it's pretty fair because it's their land in the first place right? So obviously it's fair enough for us foreigners to pay more
Why didn't she address the suicide rate that indigenous kids are at risk of in the NT.? and how inaction is killing the future aboriginals. Because it's because of our own inaction
@@Ray-wm8dz you are wrong and there is no evidence of your statement being true.
Stop spreading lies and feeding hate where it is not needed..
Beautifully spoken, thought provoking words from the heart. A strong and patient, caring and determined soul.
Peace and strength to you and your family.
I only just found this - great to see and keep up the fantastic work you do Cally - I've been a long time fan of BFR. More power to you.
Great speech Cally! I hope your teens enjoyed your education program this year just complete. Blackfulla Revolution is a runaway success, you should be very proud. One of the best things to happen last year was Clinton Pryor's Walk for Justice and the flow on affects hopefully for years to come.
Inspiring message of hope that one day we will be able to move forward together. Most people don't take the time to stop and listen and really understand the aboriginal perspective of settlement. It is a slow process you have so much to teach us.
Thankyou Cally Jetta. Listened. Heard. Powerful. Truths.
Thank you for an inspiring, enlightening insight into so many things that for so many years I have misunderstood and taken for granted. You are fortunate to have such a strong connection with who you are. Of that I am envious. Your talk and others from this TEDx event have ignited a yearning to open my eyes more.
well done Cally! Love your message and the work of BFR!
Oh wow that sound great it really me of my late wife I lost 3year ago so if I may ask how are you doing today and hope you are fine with peace and love over There
Thank you Cally. Thank you for this story and thank you for your work
Oh wow that sound great so if I may ask how are you doing today and hope you are fine with peace and love over There
incredibly brave
I love the beginning of your speech
Well said! Thank you for sharing 👏🏽👏🏽
The original ppl of Australia are a wonderful lot. Love from Malaysia
You need to learn a little more about their culture and their history.
I studied anthropology in Western Australia and read the ethnographic data in the UWA library. They weren't mentioned in the lectures, but some of the practices described by the early researchers, made me feel ill.
It was considered unscientific to judge the behaviour of other people by our own standards of good and bad.
Now, of course, I reject cultural relativity.
@@chriswatson1698 Sounds like you weren't cut out to be an anthropologist if the truth makes you sick.
Thank you Cally Jetta l enjoyed your positive wisdom.
Thank you for this ❤️
Oh wow that sound great so if I may ask how are you doing today and hope you are fine with peace and love over There
Inspiring, thankyou for sharing xx
Awesome. Thank you!!
Great and brave talk sista
Well done to the audience for attending and listening its these people that will make a small change it wont happen overnight but its a start
Amazingly spoken about the current view of the nation on Aboriginals.✌
Powerful truth
I would like to care provide to Aboriginal Australians. I have never discriminate to provide nursing care nor think about it instead I love to hear their stories, colonisations, struggles, and their cultures. Being an international student, when I studied their stories, I really feel sorry for them and always want to help them as much as I can being an RN in hospitals.
Awesome words! Awesome t shirt!
That's really sad to hear that this happens. Everyone should be treated with respect.
I love how you addressed the crowd. Keep saying it like it is 👏
That all other races deserve less than Aboriginals? Hear hear.
@@Ray-wm8dz Aspergers strikes again.. you need to seek medical advice Ray.
And stop trolling Aboriginal videos.
Well said, I’ve also noticed his obsessive trolling on other videos.
@@gwynbetts29 I thought I was talking to someone “normal”. But he goes around and around in circles. And there was no reasoning with him. I work with disadvantaged families. I know what is happening and the lack of services people don’t get. Thank you for seeing this guy for what he is..
@nobody really
Cheers, yes I worked in education and I also saw how limited services were when we needed to make referrals.
In regards to this TEDX talk though, my take on them is to listen and appreciate someone else’s perspective on their topic, I always come away with something.
All the best.✌🏼
Beautiful.
Where can I get that T’Shirt 🔥❤️
Deadly
Amazing
I guess some of the children of the colonizers of Australia and America went to the same school. Chapter 1 of book: How to tear up someone else's culture-keep tearing it up and act like nothing's wrong
Seems like we still doing it cherry picking what fits our storys
What is 'tearing up' a culture? Nobody is stopping Aborigines from teaching their stories to their children. Nobody is stopping them from speaking their own language or teachings it to their kids. But their languages were never shared by large numbers of people to start with. Not being written languages, their kids find it hard to text them without using the Roman alphabet.
Australians provide free education for aboriginals.
We also give indigenous scholarships.
For every dollar spend on non indigenous education (Asain, Indian, African and European students) we spend five dollars on indigenous education.
Yet even with all these advantages aboriginal people are still achieving poor results.
It is 2020 and we now live in a global community.
Maybe it is time to give up on the tribal culture of blaming others.
Time to join the rest of the world.
Stop looking for excuses for personal failure and start improving your own outcomes.
@@warwicklewis8735 show the evidence of free education...?
You can’t cause you believe fake news..
There is no evidence...
@@Escekar it's called "abstudy".
Easy to find the information it's on the centrelink website.
No secret no mystery no "fake news".
Bravado 😍 🥰
Brilliant.
Hello friend
woooow that's a strong message woooow
Thank you Cally, fellow Nungar. I agree with most of what you say, although, in my belief it is more about ignorance than racism. That change can come from education, such as yours. I know there are racists, but I think most people are inherently good.
Its really unfortunate that today there is still so much ignorance even just in the comments on this video, its important to recognise how damaging it can be to have your culture stripped away, the generational trauma that comes from that. for 65 000 years the Aboriginal people and country thrived. I hope that people will learn to be more culturally aware, I hope that we can see reason in giving the Aboriginal people the respect they deserved for their culture when we arrived here. I hope we take the time to learn about the history and the pain they faced and persevered through so as to have empathy for what happened in the past. if you do research on generational trauma its definitely not something people should be expected to just move on from. Westernised culture has much to learn from Aboriginal culture. do yourself a favour, if you feel like you don't understand or that im wrong please in the kindest way possible, take the time to learn, research the history, research the culture.
Powerful
Nerves. When doing the righty feel iffy. I feel super-joy every time I ask where's your country and looking it up together to get the Lore. It ranks as the best bang for your buck in the pursuit of understanding, compassion and respect to help 'gringos' _see_ the handle to dialogue with Brethren Australians and make some dollars, properly.; democratically. Google Earth freeware access is tantamount to a human right for y(our) Mob.
Sister says fight presension reflex only of a sort; and I agree.
I thought the media was all for diversity, Cathy. So which media are you referring to?
❤️✌🏽
well said cuss
Okay I understand so if I may ask how are you doing
OMG! You are going to get back every single piece of dignity that was stripped from you by these CRUEL MONSTERS! I promise you to go ABOVE & BEYOND!
Very important message
aue!
Hello friend how are you doing
They ask every one if they have gone to centrelink. Rich or poor if you show to doctors with no healthcare card and no money. The start of this makes no sense.
Not true!
Can anyone translate her greeting accurately?
Kaya (yes or hello, same thing in Nyungar) djook (sister) wer (and) ngoonee (brother).
Try asking Ernie Dingo.
It was him that wrote the "traditional" greeting back in the 80s.
A group of South Sea Islander people came here to do a performance.
It is required in their traditions that the host must welcome them before they talk.
So Ernie whipped up some fancy sounding words out of respect to South Sea Island cultural traditions.
Commonly known as cultural appropriation.
This idea impressed the sycophantic white liberal crowd so much that they have made it a part of every school assembly.
Now it has been thoroughly indoctrinated to our children as an ancient aboriginal tradition.
To further decieve the audience it has now been translated into local tribal languages.
Many of which are recently contrived modern inventions of themselves.(but thats another story).
Hello friend how are you doing today and hope you are fine with peace and love over There
Respect is earned, not demanded or worse still begged for. Aboriginals today get MORE than every other race in Australia and they no shame in demanding even more. Some Indians are darker, the Chinese were labelled the "yellow peril", the Vietnamese came as the enemy (even the South Vietnamese) were called the Viet Cong, they experienced the tail end of the white Australia policy. They had a different culture, looked very different and couldn't even speak English and they had been through many years of war and terror. Still they worked 16 hours a day to make ends meet. They opened little shops, had their shop windows smashed but still went on to educate their children to fit into mainstream Australia. Did they face racism? Yes all of the above did but they persevered. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. There is nothing to stop any Aboriginal today from joining mainstream Australia. Get qualified, get a job and get to work on time everyday like every other Australian of every other race. It can be done.
@jam brown what happens to the 95% of indigenous who have European blood in them ??
Do we cut them in half and send half back to Europe.
you are stereotyping, there are many hard working Aboriginal people in the community, many that strive to be educated and go on to have careers in their fields of interest. Unfortunately the ignorance in our society is strong and refuses to notice how hard they have worked for years to even be considered human, it wasn't until late 60s that they were legally considered human. They have fought for equality in all the right manners by our introduced government to regain land that was stolen from them. You are missing the point and in doing so are showing your ignorance. Their people deserve respect for their culture, understanding and acceptance. They deserve empathy for the tragedies they had to face due to colonisation and the endless perils that brought upon their people, and for the generational effects its still having on their people today. They deserve to be treated as equals and to be validated in their experiences. Mostly they deserve respect, as a culture that lived here happily for 65 000 years and were forced to be ripped from their culture, their values and their beliefs to become part of a society where they had no identity. After all this they have persevered, and all they are asking for is respect and understanding of their culture. who are you to deny them of this basic human right?
@@keannaj9527 Actually I respect all human beings , whatsoever their race or skin colour and will always treat any Aboriginal respectfully as my equal in all things. An Aboriginal is as far as I am concerned, a man or a woman who can compete with me on equal terms and on equal footing in every situation. Any assistance using tax payer dollars should always be on the basis of need never on the basis of race. Any entry into courses or jobs must always be on the basis of merit and capability, never on the basis of race or skin colour. We have to learn to treat ALL races EQUALLY.
Thanks Cally, your talk was straight out of the following playbook: ‘Critical Race Theory’ with an addendum on ‘Decolonisation’. Viva la revolution!
This is lies. My generation 70's born convict ancestry and always respect and looking after the aboriginal People! Taking a step back so that they have a better opportunity than I/ we ( white fellow )
Convict ancestry and not being thankful for standing back and giving them opportunity that I/white fellow was better educated for.
No!! I am over this. We have lost good lives doing the right by aboriginal people.
Not fair 😕
Hang on.. So when they ask me this every time I go to the doctors they are discriminating me? Huh... that doesn't make sense. How do you talk about being a second class citizen when what your pushing is in fact this on all other Australians. Kiwi Indian Chinese any other race other than aboriginals. Why would you push this if you have suffered from this or seen it. Your educated but still have a view just like the past you condemn. It's all Australian need help . New or old.
Wow they named a school after a murderer ??
Aboriginals should be respected based on merit, I may not be politically correct but not all Aboriginals are great or where all great back then either.
The only times I’ve been bashed, mugged, and spat on (in three seperate incidents) was by young aboriginal men. I try my best not to feel a little bit afraid or uncomfortable when I walk past a group of aborigines. I don’t want to feel that way, but you see, I’ve been scarred for life.
Yeah I got abused and told to get back on my boat on Australia day..
@jam brown so if an aboriginal steals my bike today in 200 years time every aboriginal is guilty of stealing a bike.??
@@warwicklewis8735 Can't you afford insurance? People insure their pets these days which is more precious than a bike!
@@hannahpcw2010 Did you board a cruise ship back to England and return China airways or Qantas?
@@marilynschmidt6400 we also pay billions of dollars in welfare.
A kind of insurance to reduce crime.
Unfortunately self entitled ungrateful assholes still feel they have a right to take other people's stuff.
is she a kiwi?
WOW you really got it tough, I went through 8 tough Chemo sessions for Lymphoblastic Leaukemia, plus a Bone Marrow Transplant. If it wasn't for my family I would have chose death.
Get over yourself.
Just because you suffered doesn't mean other's suffering is invalid. Get over yourself.
@@roksforbrains Sounds like you have been through it all ? Wow got dark skin, I am suffering bad.
@@roksforbrains What is the worst you have suffered ROCK HEAD ???
@@simonpaterson6162 irrelevant
Come on. Go live with Aboriginals and you'll understand.
lol are you even Australian, mate?
Someone has to pay the bills. If we all refused to work, guess what will happen.
@Kapt'n Pee they still do it by pushing affirmative action after suffering from such a similar thing under white Australia policy. Funny that.
massive nose
massive gronk
You should do some research into 2 sets of rules , laws are biassed on the Aboriginal side , do some research
They have more rights than white people lol and so many aborginal only services including: aborginal only housing, aboriginal only law services, job agencies, health services they even get paid more from centrelink and if arrested have more options.. can't have it both ways if they want equality.
@@hannahpcw2010 Its historical grievances from white mans actions. Even Ned Kelly and his family suffered injustices thanks to the heartless white man
@@marilynschmidt6400 lol I bet you blame white people for everything you haven't achieved in life. Move on.
@@hannahpcw2010 Highly uneducated comment. Think about the reasons WHY those things might exist. Because if they apply for a home loan/mortgage, even with a good paying job and money, they get knocked back. Because they are discriminated against day in day out. They apply for work and get to the interview stage and then there's a perception they are 'unreliable' etc. Because Indigenous Australians' life expectancy is so much lower than other Australians. Check your privilege.
I wasn’t sure she was Aboriginal until I saw the obligatory fashion choice
She is half white half Aboriginal talking about her man
Just because you can't get a woman
This type of racism exists because of a reputation built up over many years. For instance some of us white Australians might be racists towards Asians but they still do very well because they do well and are treated fairly just like everyone else you get what you give.
Lachlan O'Neil it is not a justification. We are in their land. The invaders killed their culture. Looked down upon them from beginning. Treated them without respect. What they are and their anger is a result of this. We should live in Australia by respecting what was there before. Aboriginal culture is real Australian culture. See how kiwis endorsed Mauri culture? Everyone knows Hakka. All of them knows ancient proverbs. Once your culture is respected in society, you will naturally come up. It takes time though
Jineesh P R no you don't ask for respect you earn it and if you earn respect you will do well.
Maybe you are right. But it was their land. How can we expect them to earn it? Probably others should respect them for living in their land. It is like someone comes to your house, and telling, from tomorrow to follow the way they live. Expecting you to respect them. A lot of phycology of discrimination can be understood only when we are in that shoes
Jineesh P R correct if we only just took over the land but they were never apart of that and if they wanted to go back to their old ways they could still do that the country is so massive.
How could we possibly go back to our old ways when their are no lands to use and the lands depleted you obviously have no clue whats so ever and l am not going to try.
Who cares about what happen even 50 years ago look at Germany omg guys seriously.
Well then Lachlan dont celebrate ANZAC Day or other national celebrations such as Australia l mean thats so over 50 years ago.
Tracey Onus the punch of anzac day diminishes year by year and most people don't get emotional about it once there are no people alive from the time of the event the impact of it becomes much smaller it doesn't mean you don't respect them and remember how bad that event was including colonisation but don't feel victomised because of the past those days are over.
Lachlan O'Neil I care
Christmas Morgan you haven't experienced any discrimination from our government get over it
Oh my. You really are something special, Lachlan.
