Wow this story is really interesting some Aboriginal people are now living in Indonesia I come from the western cape York peninsula Queensland AUSTRALIA
Hi I’m from East Timor and our ancestors and their dream time stories are about Australian aborigines who founded the country over or around about 600-500 years ago, Many of my people think and know they are Australian Aboriginal
Some of the Fretilin fighters I had photos of in the 1970s looked very Aboriginal. I would like to hear their languages and see if I can recognise any, but I suspect they are related to the Anandilyagwa of Groote Eylandt.
That's true I remember these stories that my grandparents use to tell me this stories about our great great grandfather went there & stayed there didn't return & I'm also from Wurramarrba family
I am of Nyungar descent (near Perth). We call ourselves Aboriginal, not First Nations. Why is the media using that term more frequently when most aborigines don’t use it and don’t like it? Don’t listen to what a few city folk say, get out into remote WA/SA/NT & Qld and ask people. Most people prefer Aboriginal.
With you on this, mate. One cannor be national and tribal simultaneously. These are Americanised black activists trying to recreate a culture they cannot comprehend In NE Arnhem people call themselves Yolngu; and in Bathurst Island, they are Tiwi. 'Aborigine' eliminates any confusion.
I am a native of Makassar, Indonesia. In fact, our area is known as Butta Panrita Lopi, aka the Land of Boat Makers. The ship/boat that our great-grandmother used to go to Australia was originally made by our great-grandfather's hands and is still made today. Very proud and touched to learn this reference.
Well, couldn't wait to see any updates on this revealing. I hope to see more how our ancestors (especially Macassans) with Aboriginal people of NT were intertwined in the past. Greetings from Indonesia!
THe Makassans visited from 1715 until the Australian Government banned Trepang hunting, early in the 20th century. There was intermarriage and some Djambarrpuyngu have noticeable Makassan eyes. One elder at Galiwin'ku, Willi Walalipa, was half-Makassan.In Makassar, the names of people who were from Galiwin'ku were carved over doorways. THese was some fighting in the emid 19th century but generally relations were cordial and mutually beneficial. Some 80 words are of Makassan origin.
@@Made_in_Inalahan not true , false teachings with no solid proof fed by whites. We don't have any similarities in any way what so ever to Indians , physcially or culturally.
I always wondered how there was never any supposed contact between these 2 peoples. Now my hunch has been confirmed 😎 And I'd bet the farm that the intermingling of these 2 peoples was more common than we realise.
So the gist of this story seems to be: European missionaries bad, Indonesian Muslims good. Because for some reason Makassan religious traditions are acceptable, while Christian ones aren't. Hard to not see the Bias in this account.
You need to learn about 99% more to understand. The Anglican missionaries on Groote Eylandt, Rose River Mission and Roper River Mission were cruel, saddistic, bigoted, and appallingly ignorant. But Bapa Sheppy (Shepherdson) was knowledgeable clever, resourceful, talented, and his only interference in culture was to request that the Yolngu bury their dead. He spoke seven local Aboriginal languages. Later United Church missionaries were ignorant and bigoted. All Catholic and Anglican missionaries were cruel to children. The worst was the part Aboriginal welfare officer Connie Bush, who was continually attempting to steal children to put in Darwin orphanages. There was no goody or baddie scenario. But the Makassans were generally well liked and were fair traders. Makassans had 99% god relations whereas the Europeans were 90% bad. That is just a fact of history, commented on by hundreds of witnesses.

My parents are from there. Any more stories you can share ?
We are family
Because we are brothers

Bloody awesome. Oral history being validated
I heard about how the Indonesians sailed to the Northern Territory to trade for trepang (sea urchins) when I was in Darwin 20 years ago.
Sea cucumber.
@@gfreeman9843sea urchins are good too

I used to live in Makassar. Some of locals that I knew had physical traits similar to Aboriginal Australians
The Dingo came from Indonesia.
Not true
No, way before that
Solid
❤
must be eons of cross culture between these two ancient peoples...they share common ancestry
Indians share a closer ancestry
There isnt a close common ancestor between aboriginal australians and Indonesians. There is a recent common ancestor between aboriginals and PNG tho

Very interesting, would be wonderful if they could do further investigations into possible links in Indonesia to trace there family tree.
