    Even the dancing is in this culture is at a young age, so natural. If only we were taught our indigenous peoples full history and cultures when I was at school in the 70s 80s, so happy to see now than never! Many of us have a new respect for our ancient peoples, than any other time since we began arrival in 1788.. beautiful episode, very gentle!

      We are told 1788 but people was in the land way before.. we are taught lie and dumb down through public schools and it makes me livid that are government is behind it. Each generation gets worse and worse because of us being dumbed down and our natural senses stole from us ti where we can’t use them to know right from wrong and the gov. wants the control. We let it happen and it’s sad!!

    • @randinmusic
      @randinmusic 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Stone tools can be pretty good! But my experience working with Yolŋu people and examining didgeridoos in museum collections suggests that in the past, they mostly used smaller, more hollowed/thinner-walled trees that required less work. Better availability of tools, including power tools, seems to have affected yiḏaki crafting a lot. It's also important to know that Yolŋu had steel tools brought by Indonesian traders long before Europeans settled in the Top End.

    • @petrairene
      @petrairene 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@randinmusic Cool, thanks for the info. Plus, they probably didn't need to make all that many yidaki. After all, in the dry environment a good one could be handed down through the generations for a long time.
      From the video footage they are really a likeable people with a fascinating cultural tradition. It's such a shame and loss that Christianity ruined indigenous culture and religion all over the world.

    • @randinmusic
      @randinmusic 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      @@petrairene Actually, it's a monsoonal climate, and the stringy bark didgeridoos will dry out and crack very quickly. I've seen favored ones stored in a stream to keep from cracking, and instruments in progress left on the beach at the high tide mark so they're kept moist without being washed away. But yeah, you're right. In the old days, they would just make one when they needed them, as opposed to now when many are made for sale.
