1 day in an AUSTRALIAN Aboriginal community AND the STRANGEST thing iv eaten

A day inside the life of an Aboriginal community of Far North QLD. Iv been invited by a big family to come and spend the day doing what they've done since they were kids. Now we're out here doing it with the next generation of kids. I get to spend quality time witnessing these kids learning to catch food, throw spears, learning the connection of tides and how that affects what theyre hunting and sitting around the fire whilst the catch of mud crabs, fish, mud shell and THE STRANGEST THING IVE EATEN is all cooked on the fire. Again the hospitality of these people never ceases to amaze me. Thankyou to everyone there at Girriga, I cant wait to come back.

I have been enjoying a bunch of your videos but I don't even like fishing! I'm here because you offer a unique and valuable window into Australia's Indigenous cultures. Keep 'em coming! Giving a voice to Indigenous people and communities is fantastic. Thanks from Dharug country.

Just did a quick check and you're near Cairns. Heard stories from locals north of Mossman about how badly the Aboriginals were treated not so long ago. Don't know why but your videos with the locals are so heartfelt to me. Keep going I don't know why you don't have millions of subscribers.

If you want to know how Australian aborigine genuine mindset, you need to go to their autonomy jurisdiction.. when drugs and alcohol are banned.. hmmmm.. and yeah permission is needed.. extremely rare unless you know some permanent figures there.. hmmmm.. when you really talk to a real indigenous people.. hmmmm.. you know what.. there are beautiful gem 💎 ladies over there, too .. 😊.. hmmmm.. my totem is catfish dreaming..😅..

[@dawggonevidz9140]

I'm on Djabugay country just up the hill, I live in a little hamlet that actually was a mission back in the day. There's elders around who were mission kids and you can't overstate the damage that was done and the culture that was lost due to missionaries. I picked up one old uncle who was hitching to the village just after I moved in. I asked him how to say hello, good bye and thanks in local language. He recoiled into the far corner of the car seat, this 70+ year old man, and said "no sir, I'm a good boy! I won't talk the devil's tongue." I just said sorry, because I could see even asking brought up some trauma out of his past I can hardly guess at. The world's oldest surviving culture. Ten times older than the next surviving culture, China. And what's left is being lost before our eyes. The bama at Yarrabah have sacred songlines that talk about where their ancestors hunted before the sea levels rose 14,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age. What's now the great barrier reef was a coastal plain that extended to the continental shelf. they remembered that, and knew it, and sang to preserve that knowledge for thousands of years, it's only in the last 150 years western science has progressed to a point to even know that ice age happened. Their ancestors were there for it. And we let that culture fall away, in many instances actively tried to crush it. If that's the result of the missions, I don't think I need to worry about what the intention was.
