I wasn’t born in Australia, but it is my home now , I worked in medicine in rural and remote communities. One of my most profound memory was a woman who was going into early labour, this was in a very small Queensland town. It was near dusk and the RFDS were coming into land . The whole community turned out and lit the runway with their utes , and drove up and down the landing strip to keep Roos off. One of the sweetest things I’ve seen was an aboriginal council workers kids sitting on the bonnet of a land cruiser wrappped in a quilt . The whole community turned out. No racism there , just people working together in a harsh environment. Australians united are an unstoppable force , powers want all this division.

As an ignorant 18 year old getting work with the travelling show back around 1989. I remember waking up one morning at Gunbalanya and smelling the cooking of meat. I walked down towards the delicious smells on the banks of the billabong and saw several aboriginal men sitting around a fire. I was hungry and when they noticed my presence without taking notice of my skin colour I was beckoned towards the fire and the gathering of men who had obviously hunted and therefore were cooking a delicious rock wallaby. I took the invitation and sat down with these local men and ate. I will never forget how much I felt like I belonged to our great country. 😎👍👊🇦🇺

@@kerriemccoy1647 Geoffrey Bardon was an art school teacher assigned to a remote community 240km from Alice Springs, He noticed whilst the Aboriginal men were telling stories they would draw symbols in the sand, Bardon then encouraged the kids of the community to paint their stories onto canvas and board. Soon many of the men began painting as well. Before Indigenous Australian art was ever put onto canvas the Aboriginal people would smooth over the soil to draw sacred designs which belonged to that particular ceremony. Body paint was also applied which held meanings connected to sacred rituals. These designs were outlined with circles and encircled with dots. The Aboriginal artists soon became concerned that the sacred-secret objects they painted were being seen not only by Westerners, but Aboriginal people from different regions that were not privy to their tribal stories. They did not want them to understand or learn the sacred, restricted parts of their stories so the artists decided to eliminate the sacred elements and abstracted the designs into dots to conceal their sacred meanings.

I am an indigenous Australian & so were my parents & my grandparents, yet we are not of Aboriginal descent. When i went to school, in the 1950s & 1960s, when English & grammar & punctuation were taught, the meaning of the word 'indigenous' was that you were born in the land in which you were living, or you were living in the land in which you were born. That is still its grammatically correct meaning. Now its politically correct meaning is that you have to be Aboriginal to be indigenous. When did it change & who changed it, on what or whose authority? As far as I am concerned & as far as reality is concerned, I am an indigenous Australian. If I am not indigenous to Australia, to what country am I indigenous, a country in which I was not born, or in all likelihood never even visited? The same goes for 'native' Australian. And another thing, they are not first nations people. They are not nations, they are tribes. Think about it. A more correct term would be 'first migrants'. Their ancestors migrated to this continent between 20,00 to 45,00 years ago. The continent of Australia was already here & had been for over 300 million years. What, are they saying that they 'owned' Australia before they even arrived, before there were any humans here? What a joke; what a lie!

[@NickGreiner1988]

And there were many people coming and going from what is now the island of Australia for a long long time... They talk about it like some group of 50 people set out from Africa and just walked non stop in one direction until they got to Australia and stayed there. 50,000 years ago there was people living in the north of Australia where you could travel to and from what is now Papua New guinea freely, it would have been all different islands back then. There were no borders, over a long period of time that water level would have risen and eventually some people were cut off from other people who they were probably distant or even close relatives of.

Absolutely correct. The government don't care about Aboriginal people, they are using them for a land grab which they have control over. The government have bought off the "purple circle" as Madison phrases it and the rest of them don't get a look in. I wonder how she feels about white people "identifying" as Aboriginals?

Its very interesting to hear you speak honestly about all this. Other notable people that actually spend time in aboriginal communities don't support this stuff either. Some are willing to take a stand. Larry perkins for example gave up his membership to motorsport Australia because they were pushing it. He spends a lot of time in rural communities. Personally, I have been learning about, searching for and finding native food plants. Almost all of them were discovered by aboriginal folks. Ive been learning about and finding them in my area and in the process I've found rock carvings and other evidence. Its a far superior way to recognise the people and you will gain respect for them purely because you will understand the challenge of nomadic survival they mastered. Thank you for speaking up.

I've been calling this BS for what it is for decades. Because I remember the invention of the fake tradition. I don't lie or accept lies to be popular. I love this country, the land and the honest people who call it home. I miss it when I'm overseas for too long. The space, the skies in all their moods, the rains when they come, the heat when it dwells, the smells of the dust and the smoke, the silence and the shrill calls of wildlife. I'm an immigrant from 1968. Sometimes I go back to the country of origin, but it doesn't feel quite like home. Dorothea Mackellar was onto something.

This is an amazing and elucidating video: thank you so much for sharing. I work for a government organisation and every, single meeting we have, whether remote or on line, has a ‘Welcome to Country’. Even when I do a student orientation, I am meant to do this. I found out years ago that it was garbage created by Ernie Dingo, yet it persists. It is not only disrespectful to Aboriginal true culture, but it is alienating for others subjected to it. It is a similar dynamic to the dot painting trope- which is not traditional, but was taught by French art teacher to Aboriginal students as a tool to help them develop their art skills. Let’s acknowledge truth - surely it is a richer tapestry than the sophistry of today? Thank you for your candour 🙏

Good on you Madison for saying this. I grew up being taught that this ceremonies were sacred or at the very least had very special significance, and it made us appreciate Aboriginal culture. When it became obvious that people were doing these special rituals as a mechanical routine or without sincerity it really felt demeaning and sacrilegious.

You are a good, strong and very smart lady with integrity and I respect you for setting things straight! You are helping to stop the shameful rot that is taking hold of people and dividing society! Thank you for speaking up and doing some good for everyone! You should be a leader of your people. You have my vote!

[@peterturner6497]

I love Madison King... I am I white man from the NT (Tennant Creek) and what you say is true true and more true. Guess what I know nothing about the real culture 'cos the real people won't tell you but I have seen more fake corroborees put of for Tourists than you can poke stick at. And guess what I am 75 years and 5 years old and went to the NT. when I was 5 and in 70 years of actual aboriginal connection I never saw a smoking ceremony or a "welcome to country". and that is just for starters. Madison King needs more supporters. She is the real deal.
