Is it not a little ironic that a building built for the enjoyment of European musical culture should be the platform for someone lamenting the introduction of European culture to this land?

"The irony, you fought for them, but you don't fight for me" That hit the heart strings. I am ashamed how we still treat our beautiful First Nations people with such disdain.

During my time in the Army, I worked extensively with NORFORCE, which is one of the most respected units in the Australian Army... made up of nearly 90% Indogenous Australians... black trackers... great blokes... awesome soldiers...

I taught this song to my grade 8 lads in Ramingining about 8 years ago in fact taught it at every school i taught for nearly 10 years in the NT. This version bought me to tears

@@ashleighgulliver2831 Isn't that what the Pope says... ???

[@ashleighgulliver2831]

@Christian Kirkwood alot of ppl say this and add their own meaning to it. I wouldn't have a clue if the pope does, I don't follow subscribed religion and definitely don't quote it from him. It holds my own energy and values to it and comes straight from my heart. No association with the pope here.

[@christiankirkwood3402]

@@ashleighgulliver2831 As for "subscribed religion", I'm in the dark, as for "organised religion"... I don't subscribe or particulate and belief and faith are personal. As for the Pope, wtf do you think he says to people??? Go get knotted. My experience has been that "bless you" is a very common form of thanks or parting spoken as vernacular amoung predominant CHRISTIAN religion's - like Catholic. I READ a huge contradiction into your not so well intoned gesture given the story both Paul Kelly and particularly, young Ziggy Ramo is telling us with this preeminent folkloric classic. Think about it. Go well & warm regards to you from Sydney 🤙

[@joleneotoole4440]

I'm not crying... Your crying. This is something that should be taught in schools, just like German people learn about their horrid past so that we never ever re-offend. I did learn about it in school, but I think I had a passionate teacher, no one else I know from my era learnt about it, it was the 80s. Just a passionate song that really hits hard.

[@kathyconway5327]

Starting from the realm of a First Nations political activist and another from Canberra, followed by two songsters that mark that “little thing” as the starting point for what might become an historical churn, I can now see it really grow. This latest chapter is so very poetic, the words are powerful but the art in the images is truly profound! If Lingari could have witnessed

EVERYONE needs to share this with at least one person that needs it. Not someone who agrees but someone who sits on the wrong side of the fence. Someone who makes the jokes and has the opinions. The people that fly the flag and think Australia Day isn't racist. The people who say it was ages ago and Australia's different now. Share this video with them and tell them unless your an ingenious person then you didn't grow here! you flew here!

I just moved to Aus from Nz bout 4 days ago. Me and my homie from back home were parked up in a parking lot, smoking some nug we managed to get off some locals. Homemade bong and a cheap lighter. He goes "look at us, sitting here smoking in a parking lot" i said "Yeah, but we're in aussie now bro 😎" and we both smile and he goes "Hell yeah we are 😎" In that moment we realized how far we've come. Sitting there high and this comes on. We loved it 😂 That memory will now be solidified everytime i hear this song. I am grateful 💪

Like many of our indigenous counter parts we are struggling to hold on to our truths. Our truths are past down through generations with no paper or penmanship but through story telling, songs and dances. But behold it is the same stories that are written in their historical documents, and journals.

[@netracing7828]

Great message

[@anniewardie]

Bravo!

[@sumgamelab]

I am indigenous but as a child I was required to go to a government school where I learnt about " history " and science. I was not taught the language of my people, I know almost none of the traditional dream time stories and dances, I don't know how to make any traditional tools or weapons. I was born in the 90's and I can tell you first hand that government policies are still crushing the ability of indigenous culture to return. I do not believe that they do this with bad intention; it's just the same as it was with the first fleet they want to make us "good Christian folk" which is more than ironic.

[@Slydamiser]

culture isn't conveyed through school, that's the communities job, look to your own people before crying victim

[@sumgamelab]

@@Slydamiser We are required to go to school Mon - Friday. The Aboriginal communities have been forced into areas 10 - 15 hours from the city's. Tell me logistically, how would it be possible to experience the culture of my people? Living in the communities is not possible as you are required to go to a government school. Explain how you think this is supposed to work?

[@sumgamelab]

@@Slydamiser If for example I were to move to one of the communities to learn the culture; soon after they realize I were not attending school the police would come and move me back to the city.

[@sumgamelab]

@@Slydamiser I want for aboriginal children; instead of being forced to go to school and learn European education to be able to go to back to their communities to begin the process of recovery. In the current political system this is not allowed to happen. You have literally highlighted the problem as if you've made a point
