Shove your Welcome To Country

@RosRiggs 5 ай бұрын

Listening to Shirley, there is no such thing apart from the ernie dingo made up on the day thing. This has now turned into a money making venture for the aboriginals ... those in the cities who want extra money. I think its a joke. But good to know that in the main, the tribes care naught for it.

I am 81. Born and bred in Australia. I don't need to be welcomed to my country. And I don't need to look at three flags representing Australia. And I don't need aboriginal so called culture to be rammed down my throat. A few years ago I went on the Ghan to Darwin. In Darwin and at other towns I went out of my way and met aborigines from different tribes which was a marvellous experience. What is happening now is a complete opposite to what I experienced, and I am resenting the big mouths and politicians who are aiding division.

Do some research before making comments that are not based in facts.

I grew up in New Zealand and my parents were retired AIM missionaries among the Yamatji, Ernie Dingo's mob. There was never a Welcome to Country among them, during the time they were working among them (1960s and early 1970s). Mum and Dad got to know the senior Yamatji elders (male and female) really well and one of my brothers married a Yamatji woman, a descendant of a very senior Yamatji Elder. They were given high honour for their work in helping these people, including important gifts (rate artifacts), but never a Welcome to Country. After they moved to Rotorua, New Zealand (where I was born), they lived and worshipped among the Maori, so I grew up amongst them. They have a Welcoming Ceremony for strangers and without it, different tribes or groups cannot interact, and you are certainly NOT allowed onto another tribe's territory without their permission, being granted in one of these ceremonies. I became very good friends with the High Chief of Te Arawa's sister (this is one of the most powerful NZ Maori tribes), and lived with her for several months. I participated in ceremonies with her, and also when I was younger, among my other Maori friends. After moving to Geraldton, West Australia, I lived among the Yamatji and got to know my Aboriginal kinfolk well. Aside from the "Government Mandated Public Displays", there was never a Welcome to Country performed. I camped with them on their Home Country (Aboriginal Reserve) and was introduced to the Ancestors and the Rivers, but these ceremonies were simple, and nothing like the elaborate public displays often seen on television. I hope this helps you. I love the Maori and the Yamatji, but these political farces are actually harmful and need to end. God Bless You For Your Work.

Welcome to my country. I'd like to acknowledge the early pioneers who came to this country over two hundred years ago and developed an almost uninhabitable land by establishing farms, roads, schools, hospitals, towns and cities, railways, ports and harbours, universities, health clinics, telecommunications, factories and industries, warm (or cool) comfortable homes, shopping centres, a reliable abundant food supply, libraries, clean water, electricity and gas, airlines, the mining industry ... the list goes on. Welcome to my country. The copyright of the above 'Welcome ...' belongs to me. Certain members of the community will be allowed to use it at a fee of $5,000. White-fellas may use it for free.

"It's not one great big homogenous group of Aboriginal people, they are individual tribes with their own customs and own languages." This is pretty much a statement calling out the "first nations" lie and the call for treaty lie that pervades mainstream media. The Aboriginal people of Australia have never been one nation and there has been scant unity ever. Even today there is no Aboriginal unity that provides a single voice or representation, other than artificial authorities formed by the governments. Forming a single treaty was not possible in 1770 and is not possible now. First Nations people, Welcome to Country, The Aboriginal flag, and red yellow and black colour branding are all political constructs, marketing, to obtain political power for all the government orchestrated Aboriginal authorities who act as proxies for the Labor and the left wing socialist agenda.

We have similar revisionist Maori history here in NZ: The Maori separatists, white-apologists, and Pakeha sycophant enablers that saturate the university system, have gone about a systematic whitewash of all evidence of the intertribal genocide, cannibalism, slavery etc practiced by Maori and Polynesian cultures prior to European settlement. Even though 20 times the number of Maori mascaraed each other during the 30 yr Maori Musket Civil Wars (and killed 40 to 50 % of the Maori population depending on which Island it was) than the British - Maori NZ Land Wars, it is taught that Pakeha, not Maori, were the murderers. And the taking of women, and the decapitation of men's heads as trophies of war, as well as the 1835 genocide of the non-violent Moriori of the Chatham Islands, are all taught as being Pakeha lies. There is such a plethora of evidence that proves it is the truth, that these liars have a cheek to call themselves academics or historians.

If you organise an event and want a "Welcome to Country" performed it will cost $300 to $750 for the basic service plus $700 to $1,500 for a Smoking Ceremony as well. Travel expenses and food are additional. If performing these Ceremonies only got you a cup of tea and a biscuit it would quickly disappear but now it is way too good an earner for those involved and they will fight tooth and nail to give it legitimacy. It is best to just not ask for it. If anybody insists say OK but you have to do it for a cup of tea and a biscuit, we won't pay!
