Netflix series has a two part documentary by Aboriginal cinematographer Dylan Rivers. Called Tales by Light. Not sure if you can see it in the US, but on here in Europe. It’s not only visually stunning, but a hell of a lot more authentic. It’s good at intertwining past and present, providing a better perspective on the past injustices and current problems. Things are getting better, but we have a long, long, way to go.

[@starlightshimmery]

Thanks for recommending that I’ll check it out 👍

He also directed a beautiful series called The Beach featuring his father, filmmaker Warwick Thornton. Was broadcast in Aus on SBS. Not sure if it’s available internationally but worth the search.

I'm a white Australian who is fascinated by the traditional owners and the connection they have with the land, seeing this made me cry. Our Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander brothers and sisters are some of the oldest surviving cultures in the world today as well as being one of the only cultures where the environment actually advanced along with them rather than declining. Their respect for flora and fauna as well as knowledge and appreciation of country is absolutely beautiful, and there's something quite haunting yet captivating about these huge desolate landscapes that have such harsh weather extremes yet are so peaceful and quiet. I wish our leaders would listen to and collaborate more with our indigenous population. Amazing vid guys! Always was, always will be Aboriginal land 🖤💛❤️

Yes except they know they don’t own the land, but are part of it.

Oldest living culture on the planet

A few years after moving to Australia from Finland I moved to Darwin for 18 months for work. Travelled through the centre of Australia to get there and saw some incredible places and people. Humbling, spiritual and breathtaking. The oldest human remains ever were found in Oz, and it just blows my mind. Seeing the art with my own eyes left me speechless.

[@bigjo2163]

That’s amazing! I grew up here in Darwin and spent time in Arnhem Land, Kakadu and Daly river hunting and learning culture growing up. Any chance I get time off work I take my friends out (non aboriginal) to these paintings far in the wetlands and show them this history that no one knows about. It’s sad to come back into town and see the bad side of our culture hanging around the shops being a nuisance to people while being totally wasted on alcohol and drugs and that saddens me to see. All of us aboriginal people are 100% proud to show other people our culture and would definitely invite other fellow aussies to come witness these things (respectfully) on our inhabited land

[@eddykate3700]

I went on a school trip when I was 15 (48 years ago) to "Ayres Rock", thinking I'd only ever go there the once. The closer we got to Uluru the more I could feel a PULL and connection like no other! We know about the Anzac Spirit and that's our white fella idea, BUT I truly believe the power and heart of this land is not in its people. It is in the way the country connects us when we sit in stillness and listen to the stories. It is the Land that brings us together. Every time we have floods, and droughts and bushfires, we come together as one. I see it as a powerful reminder from the Dreamtime ancestors about how to give thanks and care for each other and our Country! It is also why people from all over the world come here and feel that Australia is home. NOW it is time to give a VOICE to "The Uluru Statement from the Heart." Time to sit still and LISTEN to the ancestors' stories and to learn how to nurture the connection with this ancient Land!

[@ceevio_art]

One major difference between Australian First Nation people and most other cultures of the world is the concept of 'land', or *country* , to be more precise. The land they live on doesn't 'belong' to them, but rather, they 'belong' to the land. There's a huge difference, and its a big reason that things like fences or walls do not have a place in their culture historically. This is also why Aboriginals have "Welcome to Country" ceremonies - not "Welcome to OUR Country" ceremonies.

Miles and Phezz, These people are Real Aboriginals. "Traditional" Top End people who are living pretty much as their distant ancestors did. Yes they have access to modern services such as Drs, The Royal Flying Doctor Service, modern transport etc but choose to live in remote communities. I'm happy that they do live Traditional lives and keep their heritage, religion, and cultural identity alive. Not everyone is cut out to be urban dwellers and not everyone could handle the Outback. The didgeridoo is specifically a Top End instrument. Although it is now used widely around the country by Indigenous men not all Aboriginals in the past used them. Only men are allowed to play the didgeridoo.

Aboriginal arrival in Australia known to be 60 000 years ago, may be older. Life, culture and hunter/gatherer practices persisted until after European settlement in C19. Great suffering with introduced diseases, and the dispossession of "country". People who claim Aboriginal ancestry are about 3% of the population, more numerous in a broad swath right across the northern coast.

[@stephanieyee9784]

"Aboriginal" people Started arriving here around 60,000 years ago. They continued to move around, down both coasts, inland, upland. That's why they were scattered all over the country but they didn't all come at the same time thus they are not all of the same people. They literally are different people, different languages, different cultures, and have different country from each other. They came in waves, like those migrations in Europe, Asia and the Americas.

The Five Power Defense Arrangements (FPDA), is a series of bilateral defense relationships established by a series of multi-lateral agreements between the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, and Singapore (all Commonwealth members) signed in 1971, whereby the five powers are to consult each other "immediately" in the event or threat of an armed attack on Malaysia or Singapore for the purpose of deciding what measures should be taken jointly or separately in response. There is no specific commitment to intervene militarily. The Five Powers Defense Arrangements do not refer to exclusive economic zones (EEZ) and the enforcement of a state's EEZ rights is a matter for that state; a state may request the assistance of other states in so doing. The indigenous people of this power pact, indigenous peoples are inheritors and practitioners of unique cultures and ways of relating to people and the environment. They have retained social, cultural, economic and political characteristics that are distinct from those of the dominant societies in which they live. Despite their cultural differences, indigenous peoples from around the world share common problems related to the protection of their rights as distinct peoples. They are the Melayu and Orang Asli of Tanah Melayu, The Melayu and Dayaks of Sabah and Sarawak, The Melayu of Singapore, The Melayu of Brunei and finally aborigines of New Zealand and Australia.

Aboriginal First Nations people deserve respect and dignity. Their culture is one of the oldest and most ancient on Earth, it would be too great a loss for us to lose all that history and culture. Aboriginals are about to be formally recognized by a new amendment to the Australian constitution, an act that is LONG overdue.

The Australian Aborigine is the only culture in the world that are part of the land, and the land is part of them; it is a symbiotic type of connection, this enables them to cultivate and nurture each other. That is the only way I know how to explain this connection.

Oh my gosh, I’ve never known the origin of “ninnies” as kids we were always called ninnies when we did something wrong or silly. That’s so amazing that it comes from the First Nations vernacular, meaning ‘lesser spirits’

Its not "vernacular" its a word from a specific aboriginal language that one country spoke. I wouldn't think ninnies it is a word in all the hundreds of aboriginal languages

[@macman1469]

I thought it was a shortened version of piccaninny -meaning baby or toddler .A word I've heard from people from a few different mobs in West Australia. Ninnies when you do something wrong could be from ninkenpoop( or however it's spelt it's German ) meaning silly or stupid.

[@AussieGoblin618]

i was lucky enough to grow up hearing dreamtime stories and learning about indigenous culture at school (Tiddalick is still my favourite). we had the pit room which was short Pitjantjatjara and a fire pit in at the school where each year theyd split the students into small groups and we would hang by the fire with indigenous women making damper and cooking a roo tail. some of best times at school was hanging out with those women. im not going to lie though it is irritating me that the narrator of this doc is clearly not first nations let alone australian, mainly because we need to let first nations people speak their stories for themselves. adam goodes has written some great childrens books like ceremony and somebodys land (because this country was colonised on a false hood which no one really talks about ie, captain cooke lying and saying australia was unihabited) and my 5 yro has a collection of dreamtime stories with profiles in the back about who told the story, where they came from within australia, what the traditional language was.

David Gulpilil has done a great documentary on his home town and country( area in Australia). It is really worth watching . He talks about the differences between culture and approach to life of First Nation Australians compared to Australians that have European etc origins.

[@paulsnow1289]

Indigenous peoples are no different to anyone else. We all came from hunter gather ancestors at some stage. They share DNA with tribe's in India, the Amazon, and a tribe that lived in Israel a long time ago. So there's debate where they came from, or them being the first peoples. The problem in Australia is to many people turn a blind eye to family violence and sexual assault issues in remote communities, blame others for there problems. We should share there history and culture, but in these days not live bye it. There's places that alcohol has been band full stop, due to the problems in those communities. There's kids living in conditions not excepted in first world countries. We have many " "indigenous activists" that are doing more harm than good. It's sad. If you liked there music, check out BAKER BOY. Great young indigenous Australian combining rape with indigenous twist. If you come to Australia don't wast time on the major cities head north to see that amazing land.

While this depicts a certain people living in northern Australia, many First Nations people these days live in urban settings and have a very different lifestyle to that depicted here.

[@louislynge]

Digeridoo is actually based on a Gaelic word (Irish) = Black Man Playing Pipe. The first name for it is: Gurru-Murru-Jumbuck (The vibration / voice of the Creator). This is from NT where it was made for the first time. Also known in other NT tribe as Yidaki In Nth Qld it is known as the Yiggi Yiggi. There are not many places that used to have the right to play the Yidaki (My favourite word for it). It is a very sacred instrument, during ceremonies they can play for 12+ hrs, which is 12 hrs of circular breathing and never stopping for a breath the whole time. Incredibly fit. This speaks to your soul. Try listening to some Gurramul songs they are BEAUTIFUL! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJXToIqZosZnfqc

P.s. Technically WE are Homo-Sapiens Sapiens, not just Homo Sapiens (they are our "ancestors" which is what science believes but this is not true). Original stories tell of how our species came into being, which is a lot more amazing than sciences "theory". These are very well kept secrets. Dreamtime stories have many levels to them, they have Children's stories (which are exactly that, cute introductions into the themes), then as you get older you are told more about the stories until you go "walkabout" and are initiated as a Man (like in Avatar, but WAY more hectic - can be as young as 10-12 and up to old men) or Woman (around menstruation for the first time). Once you are initiated you are then told the proper stories and the Ceremonies.
