But then were still there before you

Disgraceful What a shit culture Anybody who wants to defend or normalise it should be gaoled Koori need to wake up have some pride about themselves Instead of playing the race card every time they get into shit When will this happen have a look at yourself

Welcome welcome to country Pay pack the money ya grubs Get a job stop blaming others for your problems

Yeah not nations. LoL no taxes 😂

Not nations, just stoneage tribes. If the Europeans didn't colonise them, someone else would have. The Maoris, the Arabs would have killed them off.

As a indigenous man I agree with you. I get humble and all the time because I’m married to her half class woman it’s a little bit brighter. We get hamburger all the time they like white girl. My wife is half cast not only white people racist in this country black people are always in this. I know they are people but They are and if you say no they use ruthless aggression against you for your own shit. It’s true true. So true that’s why I voted no for the voice

2:16 they don’t get on today. There was an aboriginal family of about 20 in the house across the road from mine, and every so often there’d be a brawl in the street. I found out it was because members of another tribe came by. Norforce the soldiers tasked with patrolling the top end are most aborigines and sometimes people go missing. Patrols will come back minus a member of a rival tribe, and just look at Alice Springs.

First Nations is just an American word we have adopted in the very recent years

Was this paid for by China?

Not sure how they can claim..."Oldest Continuous Living Culture in the World" status all the time. How long ago was "Lucy" discovered in Africa again ? 🤔🤨

And Aborigines are NOT "indigenous" - as they did NOT evolve on this continent.

Invented the stick

2:25 - it’s not merely the harsh climate that limited their population to hundreds of thousands. It’s because they were constantly killing each other in tribal conquest.

They’re Indian and Indonesian

There's a huge gap between the Stone Age and Modernity. Aborigines got modernity for a fraction of the price Europeans had to pay. Not to mention the fact that the Japanese would have enslaved the Aborigines if all they had to defend their "nations" were spears and boomerangs.

Same applies to nz really

White Australians will play semantics to deny any standing for the first people in Australia. If the term “Nation” causes you a problem, leave it out. Call them the first people in Australia. However much you want to undermine and denigrate these people, they were on that land for 40,000 years before your ancestors turned up. They deserve some standing and respect and it speaks little of you that you choose to deny them even that.

Just admit it , It is part and parcel of the human condition , animals can be territorial and violent . Evolutionary traits we still display that's all .

As an Indian who has migrated to Australia last year, to any Indigenous Australians reading this comment: Don't worry, we have colonised the Britishers in the UK as we are the largest home owner demographic, and we will colonise the whites here in Australia too. Australia will be brown soon.

True compassion involves some hard conversations.

Wasn’t that Han civil war also the most deadly war in history

Been saying most of this for years, people look at you like you’re racist for finding the truth.

Yeah it’s sneaky and untruthful the way certain people have been colouring the past in their ‘research’. I do find their language and culture interesting but if we don’t understand what we are actually dealing with as a whole country.

Sounds like the culture needs to be gotten rid of.

go do research on what they used to do to each other. some tribes engages in aggressive cannibalism. this is not a culture of peace loving nature worshippers, these people are warlike tribes filled with hate for one another

Aborigines should be working with white Australia to preserve what we have now.. otherwise, this country will be controlled by other nations who have no care for their people or ideology.

Disgusting behaviour from these degenerates. Even 200 years later they are still on another planet.

Tribal areas would have been larger if, to get around more they had a set of wheels

Excellent video. The wholesale importation of American and Canadian terms to describe very different indigenous populations is ridiculous. The romantic view of Aboriginal people living in harmony and in peace is slowly and thankfully being eroded. 65,000 years (some claim, ridiculously) and the entire population of the continent never passed the population of the city of ancient Rome. Life for them was dirty, brutal and painful. No writing, innovation or development, despite their warfare and massive mortality rates.

We need more videos like this. Could have cut the development of china part to about half that time though, or thrown in some European examples for variety. But overall a good video, and needs to be said.

Never contributed anything to WESTERN CIVILIZATION..not a thing...40,000 years of primitive existence...probably older race than the Caucasian which has SUPERIOR intelligence

Weird video embracing indigenous culture makes a country stronger Aboriginals are the heart of Australia mate ❤

less than 4% of the population influences most of the legislation in this country. There are similar numbers of Indians to Aboriginals currently, should we make legislation specifically for them too? There is institutionalised racism in this country, time we ended it and treated everyone equally.

So they're should be thankful for being exterminated? Gotta love the colonists depicted as friendly and smiling when meeting the aborigines. Chilling way to whitewash genocidal histories.

They’re still pre- Neolithic No resources available in Australia until the white fellas came to show yas what’s up. Close as you can get to modern day cave people.

So many constant lies with all this aboriginal stuff. Only culture to take credit for picking up a stick.

I’ve lived in several Aboriginal communities in central Australia. The cultural differences are noticeable. It’s naive and a little insulting to categorise them as all the same.

Victimhood.

The bloody English came to Australia and closed all the aboriginal schools,hospitals.airports.universities and stick factories.

This video would have been better half the length. But still great work

I'm Aboriginal and I despise the ridiculous term first nations, it's an insult to us as we had no nation. And the majority of other Aboriginal people I know think the same, much the same as we're now supposedly offended by the words Aboriginal or Indigenous but the do-gooders didn't think to.consult us first..

In large part the 'first nations ppl' are grifters to the core whom when left to thier own devices often SA their communities. Uncles chasing and SAing their nieces and nephews etc. They get free money just for existing and destroy any community that accepts them.

'First Nations'; a term coined by the Marxists in order to illegitimatise Australian sovereignity. The first nation of Australia was established in 1901.

Huh! I thought we were ONE NATION, ONE FLAG, so I was brought up to believe. Now we in Australia have Multiculturalism (the CANCER OF THE WESTERN WORLD thanks to Bob Hawke ((and his Fabian friends)) ) now lately a new group has decided to dip into the coffers of our tax's and with that they have no ACCOUNTABLY at all? Then they steal a term from the American Indians "First Nation"!' Huh! and Hmmmmmm! now we have another group whom came here under the guise of political persecution and once here, want to BRING THE CUSTOMS AND LAWS TO BE USED HERE? to suit them??????nas our government lets this rot go on. We had PEACE for all people and freedom to practice our RELIGIONS before all this Then why did they move to Australia if they didn't like it at their home country Oh! yes I forgot our Aussie government looks after them free accomodation,free rent, free medical, free transport, the list goes on BUT what about our Aussie Pensioners and war veterans etc oh! they don't count because our government has overseas obligations. Well our governments first obligation is to it the Australian population and own People. Oh! I think I hear the thought police knocking on my front door!

To claim that the aboriginal peoples didn't advance because they had a low population is disingenuous, as is linking this to isolation. They had a low population because they didn't advance, and too, this kept them relatively but not totally isolated.

No that’s not true, I saw this full blood aborigine on the ABC named Bruce Pascoe and he said aborigines were farmers and they invented the combine harvester.🤪

They didn’t invent anything because they have an average iq of 89 and that is scientifically fact!

Within the period of photographic history, we have pictures of tribes that live at the bottom of south america who look like aborigines (australian). We have negritos in the interior of the phillipines, taiwan, india, who look african. We have written records of when the eskimo crossed into Greenland, the vikings were there before them. Nowhere on the planet, especially not where the loudest claims are made, were the “first nations” really the first. Even the Dingo’s closest relative is found in India, which belies the idea of aborigines being in australia 40,000 years ago, before anyone else had built a ship design that could cross an ocean. So who did they wipe out and replace? We will never know. This land, wherever you are, is your land, at the point of modern era. If you just arrived and became a “citizen” of somewhere, that’s fake.

5:45 There's simply too much evidence to claim they had no trade or agriculture. I would highly recommend the book 'Dark emu' by Bruce Pascoe to anyone with an actual desire to learn. You get to read letters and journal entries from early English explorers. Many of these entries include detailed descriptions of aboriginal agriculture, land management, food storage, housing, trading of goods between tribes, navigation and a whole plethora of other interesting information.

First nations is just an English word to decribe a non English system
