As a Aboriginal who's 21 years old I would give anything in the world just to go back and walk around Australia and see my people and all that they would do
looks like magic mate, amazing footage
@Jim-zd6mnPhhhhht. Racist, much? Flog.
That would be something to be able to go back and see your culture before it was lost. I worked in Outback WA ten years ago amongst the Wongi in the Great Victoria Desert, and asked the local blackfellas to make some spears for me (I offered to pay). I was told they were made from tree roots but no one knew how to do it anymore. I was told an older blackfella at Warburton could make them but this was 800km further along the Great Central Road. One blackfella I worked with explained how boomerangs were made from a limb from a tree which was already bent in the right shape. Eventually acquired a spear from a whitefella who had practiced and practiced to get the skill. Would have preferred spears made by blackfellas.
@@keithad6485 The same spears that killed thousands of unarmed convicts and free settlers while stealing their hard earned farm food meant for everyone to share!
@chriscuomo9334you know nothing
Apart from arrogant comments, a very good documentary. Good to see appreciation for aboriginal cultures, including native american and even pre-christian European, getting now some recognition and appreciation for the depth of connection to all forms of life.
Arrogance is in the eye of the beholder here.
They were very connected with a New Guinea lifestyle, that's for sure, kill or be killed and eat your enemy, stealing food is more fun! They farmed nothing and also produced nothing, their only dance was a war dance and their women were for hard work and for bartering!
@jenniferharrison so what.
@@Kim-se9yb SO, the comment is totally inaccurate!! There is no comparison between these countries at all! 🤨 Native Americans were real productive Farmers, had permanent communities and culture, and were genuine ecologists! 😏
@JenniferHarrison and again “so what” to your comments. You say there’s no comparison, and yet you are comparing. It’s not a competition to see who’s more close to your version of “civilisation”.
Wonderful to see these people and their lands sharing their stories and tools they need to survive in those remote areas, great information which Ive really enjoyed watching as I have a personal connection with their people and culture today, best wishes to everyone who is watching this video from Scotland, Djaru 💚💯🙏🏻
it isn't a "Dugout" because it isn't "Dug out". A Dug Out canoe is called a dug out because it is a solid log and it is Dug Out.
They are normally burnt out .
Are u really gonna cry about that? U sooky pig grow up already
Originating from Zambia and gifted to Aboriginals by them when visiting Australia to trade they had no form of transport but by foot previous to that!
There are words and allegories in Indigenous languages that can never be translated. Feelings, relationships, strange things fish do every five years, Walkabout...
There was an Aboriginal Liaison Officer who was scheduled to give a talk to an entire intake of government officers about Aboriginal culture. He went walkabout for 2 - 3 weeks. Nobody could contact him or find him. That was one entire group of Australian officials who understand perfectly what walkabout truly means.
@@ray6115 ray being racist again
@@ray6115 Dude are you okay? You seem to be almost obsessive about discrediting and slandering a whole race all throughout this comment section. Something personal huh?
Walkabout just means your going for a stroll..
Go back to Israel
Thanks for recording that music. It's captivating.
9:44 Notice how u very rarely see any 'dot-painting's back then 'strange eh'
More of a modern phenomenon, dots were painted on their bodies during ceremony or when at war not on cave walls or bark
Unfortunately nthe actual history is rarely told especially when it comes to supposed "traditions".
Like dot painting being taught by a white Australian.
Much like welcome to country that Ernie Dingo and Richard Walley created.
@@kerryhiscox4161 the original welcome to country ceremony involved wiping armpit sweat over each other and then offering your wife as a sex toy while you're in camp . I contacted the Prime Minister and insisted that we actually do the ceremony the way it has been done not this Ernie dingo version
It isn’t traditional
The dot paintings were actually taught to them by a missionary. A Dutch one IIRC.
It's effectively primitive impressionism.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders are advised that this documentary contains images and voices of people who have died.
You've been watching too much ABC. Modern aboriginals are not that naive and all people feel sad when they see pictures of deceased people they knew.
How degrading that you would think these people are so stupid that they wouldn't know that.
their lives are so interesting. much more than mine :/
@Jim-zd6mnThose people could live and survive in two worlds, ours and theirs, could you live in two worlds.
This documentary compared to the other newer documentaries that we see mainly like "men of the fifth world" is wayyy better and this is in black and white
I’d love to hear an indigenous person telling the story and put more
traditional music in the background. 🎼🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Edit: now thats an idea $$$
@@majorfeelgoodrecords2740 Aboriginals are totally inarticulate and had no music! Dream on!
Those are the people who knew how to look after the environment and how to be happy, content and kind hearted.
Now Australia is burning.
Sad
Leave it to the English to fuck everything up.
Perpetuating the compelling noble savage myth once again.
@@Sophisticated8 Since the beginning of time 😣😪
@@ray6115 little boy Ray Ray the racist
Worked on a cattle station in the Great Victoria Desert WA ten years ago, local Wongi blackfellas, steeped in superstition. Wouldn't go near a place where some one had died. Goannas were called bungower, emus were called Gwalia, wallabies were called Maloo.
In Pitjantjajatjara the South Australian desert language Maloo is kangaroo emu is kaliah Palya for hello
One of the docos I used to watch when I was younger
No dot paintings here.
Because Dot painting belong to another tribal groups of Aboriginals. Do a favour get so knowledge of history of the Aboriginals The truth indigenous people not the cities first nation so called people
@@patriciaannscanlon8355Exactly right (that was my point), but all aboriginals around Australia seem to use them like the Yidaki. Nowadays there seems to be a lot of made up Aboriginal culture.
@patriciaannscanlon8355 like he said there's no dot paintings here
@@mickyss7766 True, that was invented in the 1970s by a white man, not Aboriginal!
I think people assume that these indigenous peoples of Australia are primitive savages but they fail to understand that in so many ways they are ahead of modern society , they were able to live in total harmony with the environment they lived in and to give an example if you looked at them striping the bark from the tree to create a canoe only half the bark can removed so the tree can survive.
Great video of an incredible people.
Those Emus should of had shields, force fields, bubbles, And domes
5:26 Food is always equally divided.. 👽
Yet we call them primitive!
No currency, just sharing
No it is NOT! Men always get the best and it is shared through strict rules, sometimes the person who catches/kills whatever it is gets the least or even none.
Women and children always get the least.
@@pittycross Um, maybe because they need energy to hunt more animals? Can't be it, it must be sexism.
@@capralmarines4043 The majority of food brought in from hunting /foraging activities was brought in by women.
While women do not hunt large animals they do kill small ones, sometimes with the help of dogs, but they nearly always found roots/tubers and fruits to bring back.
It is folly to presume men speared kangaroos, wallabies, emus etc every time they went hunting.
And of course the seasons made a lot of difference. During the wet season (6 months) grasses like spear grass grow over 6ft tall and thus make it harder to find game, not to mention that a lot of the country is saturated or under water, making it difficult for even women to find food.
My full blood wife from Arnhem Land, born and raised in a remote community there, always called the wet season the 'starving time' and that was in the '80's.
For a culture that’s so old they are still extremely primitive. It’s funny to see a plane fly in and they are building bark boats and drawing kids art.
They didn’t need to evolve
Bark boats came from Zambia made and brought by Zambians! The art was invented in the 1970s by a white Frenchman!
Has anyone heard the story about Buckley's Chance?
Peace to you ❤️
But... but... Bruce Pascoe says they were farmers...
Because Australia is a pissant little country, all the blackfellas must be the same right? Kind of like the white fellas in Europe are all the same.
there were >250 languages ... not homogeneous
That's ridiculous, there's no strong evidence of agriculture. Major Mitchel was seeing what he wanted to see, one could easily mistake a grass plain for a field of crops
It's still amazes me that they won't interview the full bloods but if you pretend to be Aboriginal when you're actually English you can write a book and get award's

Hi, I'm from Brazil!
Hey brother, I'm from Arnhem Land and I'm aboriginal👍
@Rahul Kemp You should come to Arnhem Land one day, I'll teach you how to hunt in dangerous areas
@@arafuraboys9766 do you know something about natural spirit medicine that Aboriginal shamans used? Plants that contain DMT, Mescaline etc.?
I am from another "Great County" Hello from back from Texas!
Sweet. Nice people. Nice dark skin. Relaxing lifestyle.
These people are amazing! We can learn alot from early humans and how we have evolved overtime. I believe aboriginal peoples can teach us alot from their ancient culture.
Look at how healthy our people we're
Their lifespan wasn't long mate.
@@mickyss7766on the contrary they often lived to 100, food was all organic and people were constantly exercising and no mental health depression and stress whatsoever.
@@kellogscornflakes2430 Scrounging for food daily, always busy fighting each other for rights, no shelter but bark or the odd cave, very poor personal hygiene, trading women, etc! How was that healthier?
@@jenniferharrison8915 Scrounging for food? They had been here for so long they knew how to get the best food the easiest way. When settlers first started exploring Australia a handful of them almost died of thirst 2 feet away from fresh drinking water in the trees? The Aboriginal people laughed about it and helped them out. Not to mention imagine the saltwater people who got to eat the best mud crab and lobster in the world every day for free the freshest oysters across the globe and sit around a campfire every night listening to your pop and nan tell stories. Trading women with each other, not like today you think?
@@kellogscornflakes2430 The trading of women was a way of keeping harmony between clans, it also helped to stop inbreeding.
My guy just catching some waves
The natives shown all appear happy and healthy. Guess the booze merchants hadn’t arrived at this time.
Booze and sugar..diabetes kills a lot of people in remote communities. Booze is often banned in some communities.
1967 was the year
All the vegan food made them sick
Yeah it’s because they need it for the trauma that white people has caused them.
Heart breaking what we have done to this once proud race.
Where are the women?
Cool
Great footage with occasionally not so great conclusions lol. Describing a language they don’t understand as “primitive”. Goes to show how the way knowledge is interpreted is a reflection of those interpreting it.
Well your language is very primitive cause I've got no idea what you're talking about
Skilled bronze color people

Sorry these guys are black as the ace of spades
100k years of sustainable technologies as opposed to 220 years of whitefella’s ‘clever’ destruction.
Sacred land, Arnhem land..... Liquor land !
It's communities are dry communities. That's why there's never any major news headlines about them. They don't do much
You decendant is for those who brought to Australia by is slaves criminals convicts.

Now i see why the change of heart in this Nation. Sorry you have been misled and corrupted by halfcast people.
The real Aboriginal people are hidden away in the bush and the committee's that are in charge of running the communities are run by the half casts , stealing all the money and making them live horrible conditions. In the three western states there's laws saying you can't go to the community's so we can't see how bad things have got . They wouldn't even allow real Aboriginal people to be interviewed during the voice campaign only the white ones .

what is different is not the people but the setting - a less crowded, low technology world. 30,000 years ago everyone lived like this, and they have not changed genetically since. so it is like looking back in time at ourselves.
Don't you mean 65,000 years ago?
@@twoflyinghats yes 30,000 years ago there was still no farming for anyone
Farming only arrived in Britain 6000 years ago. Before then they were stone aged people too. It is not that long ago.
There are actual films out there of their culture, men stomping around with sticks next to a fire getting ready to fight other tribes or attack animals! No women, no grass skirts, no feathers or music!
Except lower IQs, and multiple DNA due to their trading of their women! 😏
They born free as people ,THEY MUST STAY THAT WAY FREE
they were strong healthy proud and happy
until the white people enter their land
we pray for you brothers and sister
may our lord grant you The Best in this life or the hereafter
peace
Hateful comments like this isn't going to help people who have had their traditions destroyed by liberalism
It certainly would be nice if they stopped asking for Centrelink payments
@@ray6115 they are the owner of the land !!!!!!!!!! hehe
Gosh. You're such a racist aren't you? Telling Australians of other races that they don't have equal rights with Aboriginals. Every Australian, irrespective of their race must enjoy equal rights. Perhaps racism and apartheid is acceptable where you come from. Every Australian, irrespective of our race is an owner of the land. @@preventncure786
@@ray6115 TRUE TALK
BUT english killed most of them , and what remains from them , they gave them drugs and alcool ,that they became addicted , and their only worry and thinking will be addiction , how to find money to pay their drugs true or false???
read history !!! then talk
look over board to the side of new zealand !!!
the maori , they are not addicted like in aussie they work in the government .and they have some of their rights if i can say ......
talk is long ..... read the history
This shows just how primitive they were and how they never progressed at all for 40,000 years.
They didn't need to progress dumbass they had it worked out.
All the 'progression' from other cultures is what is killing the planet.
Our Tamil ancestors
Not tamil
Other way around the Aboriginals went north it's so obvious
"Tamil" is a BANTU language... still spoken in CAMEROON!
Bantu is ancestral to Kemetic Egyptian, Basque, Old Japanese, and Eastern African Semitic languages!
Australian Blackfellows/Aboriginals are Negroid types from Bantu India, 50KBC...
Our Carib lineage in St. Vincent & Grenadines, comes from these Black explorers!
@@jamief.8489 Either way, there does seem to be connections. Listen to and watch Tamil language and dance/music - and general appearance - strong similarities. Not identical obviously as much time and distance brings local influences.
Just as there are many dialects and different languages and cultural elements in Australia's Aborigines, and all cultures based on their location and other influences.
Jesus said the gospels needs to be preach to the ends of the earth.
Their culture predates Jesus.
Well the Christianity damn near wiped them out.
@@primatemetaphysics232 Jesus, was with God at the time of the creation of the Earth.
@@lmc4355 The Empires did. Not Christianity.
@@hman9581 I didn't know that. I haven't read about Jesus in Genesis. Interesting. So this means Aborigines must have come from another planet, not Earth as they did not know about Christianity or the God of the Bible. Interesting, thank you for the education!:)
A bit inaccurate as the aboriginals of Arnhem land had been in contact with the white man for half a century before then apart from that a very good look at traditional life of the first Australians
I love and am proud that I descend from the oldest continuous culture in the world. Red, White and Yellow ochres. ❤️🤍💛. Our flag, ❤️🖤💛. Some of this is men’s business so I skipped it.
@@vk88864 Actually the only original and pure culture existing is in Northern Siberia, they survived the ice age there and even farmed horses and cattle, and they still live there today as one successful race! Your flag was invented in 1992 by whites!
@@jenniferharrison8915 yes flags are a white thing. We never had flags. We have animal totems. You don’t think I know that. Do your research and don’t tell me about my culture. My ancestors were the first at a lot of things and inventions and after 60000 years we still have tribes living the traditional ways. They survived it all. Even the people in the Amazon are linked to the Aboriginal people of Australia.
@@vk88864 You need to do further research, and make your own decisions, forget the dreaming! The oldest culture is in Northern Siberia! Totems are North American! White is not a normal colour unless you are from a Nordic country! Grass skirts are Polynesian, your weapons are from PNG, bark boats are from Zambia, Welcome to Country and Dot Painting are fake too! All homo sapiens are related! 🧐
