Aboriginal Spearfishing Along the Great Barrier Reef Cairns, Australia

Disclaimer: A portion of the following program has been captured on the lands of the Aboriginal people and we wish to acknowledge them as Traditional Owners. We would also like to pay our respects to their Elders, past and present, and Aboriginal Elders for their perseverance and triumph through the test of time. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are warned that the following program may contain images of deceased persons.
Along the coast here lies an irreplaceable natural and mixed World Heritage site, the Daintree Rainforest. Preserved for its cultural history, this neighborhood of the world has been home to Aboriginal communities for countless generations. And while Western influence has slowly transformed the aesthetic of the landscape, the customs of the past are still very much alive. Today we are participating in the Daintree Dreaming Day Tour - an Aboriginal educational experience aimed at sustaining nature and culture.
From the shores of Cooya Beach, our guide Link is taking us fishing and gathering - an ancestral practice emphasizing a symbiotic association with the environment.

Did that silly woman Didi have no respect or compassion for the ray she speared at all? Where was her reflection of the symbiotic relationship with living things in the environment? Marine creatures feel pain like creatures of the land and air. It was speared and gasping for breath for so long, but she held it up like that just for the sake of the video with complete insensitivity, and the two men didn't help by example. If you're going to kill any marine animal or fish to prepare, cook and eat, do it quickly. Once caught, put it out of its fear and pain straight away.
