It's amazing to me that 3 years after the 1981 Mad Max the Road Warrior came out the last uncontacted Australian Aborigines first make contact from the same Australian bush. I wish more tribes like that still existed now. I'm torn about whether I think ANY uncontacted tribes still truly exist, directly or indirectly, but I hope there are some out there. All the cases I've seen or heard of like North Sentinel Island, the Javari river, and New Guinean tribes have at least had some light contact or traded things from the outside world with their contacted neighbors. It's like with extra terrestrials you want to hold out hope that something is left out there we don't know about yet.
@Gary peters Yeah, I worded my statement 4 years ago poorly. I don't think there's any left in Australia. But I wondered if there was any uncontacted peoples anywhere on Earth that were aware of the outside world as the Pintupi Nine were in Australia in 1984. The Acre Brazil uncontacted tribes are at least aware of the outside world's people even though they remain uncontacted, etc.
I remember when our current national anthem replaced God Save The Queen in '84 and we had to sing it all the time. The Aboriginal kids would have to sing "Australians all let us rejoice for we are young and free...." Meanwhile, some of their grandparents graffiti can still be seen 60,000 years later. Like most of us at the time I was too ignorant to even think what a kick in the teeth it was to them.
One of the problems with the kids is they are taught the stories by their families who explain orally to them, and when they then attend school they are taught things that not true for them and the conflict begins and they say that the kids are disconnected from lessons. It's time to realise they have the true creation stories and maybe if your fortunate you might have a chance to hear more if you search 💚💯🙏🏻
Australia was unoccupied by a civilisation in 1788. The aborigines of 250 years ago were a stone age people. These 'pure' aborigines have an average IQ of about 64. That means that intellectually, the average aborigine was equivalent to a 9-10 year old European child. There were many tribes and different very primitive languages. No writing. No husbandry. No numbers beyond 5 etc. Even their average cranial capacity is 2/3 that of Europeans. That is why pure aborigines are rarely seen. The ones we see are the 0 --> 10% aboriginals who campaign for more privileges.
Search for, *europeanmediacentre+wordpress+list-of-banks-owned-by-the-je wish-rothschild-family.* These people control governments in the western world. They are our rulers. You can tell who rules you by who you are not allowed to criticize.
Very sad. I was born in New Zealand and have Maori kids and a close affinity with Maori. After having worked extensively in Australia and other parts of the western world and third world countries I can honestly say Australia is the most racist society I've been involved with. This is the main reason indigenous Australians have suffered so much.
you know what as a Polynesian, i think they would have been better of without Cptain Cook, and wished that they had be colonized by someone else other than the British Colony

I liked this video a lot! People tend to forget that they are at some point descended from a tribal race much like in the video, in part due to the fact that around the world most cultures adopted agriculture while the Australian aborigines stuck to their hunter gatherer ways. It's unfortunate that many of Australia's megafauna disappeared when humans first came upon the continent, but I think it's wonderful that they have such a long lasting culture and string ties to nature and their ancestry. I'm a little disappointed that they killed a sea turtle, though, because they're an endangered group of species ( one could hypothesize that's how the aborigines killed of the original megafauna) but it's just the way that they live.
its there right to kill native animals,but,they get thousands of dollars per yr from the gov.theres no need for them to live out bush.or kill more amimals for food.we have hungry jacks here now.everywhere.they wear our clothes,they speak english,they live in houses.they cant have both worlds.they pray on us about there lost heritage.THEY NEVER HAD ANY.
@Frank R I would say they know more than you Frank.. with your cheeky "keep up". 90% of megafauna disappeared from Australia (after the arrival of humans),Australia is one of the continents least affected by the ice age. Africa lost just 5% in the same period. Anthropology has become a pseudo science dogged by political dogma. Aborigines brought fire and dogs and wiped out the biggest mammals they could find. And before buying a book by a part aboriginal story seller I'd love to hear some real evidence on how aboriginals were an "advanced agricultural civilisation". In fact a 'civilisation' by dictionary definition at all.
@@straighttalking2090 Africa was the only continent where most megafauna survived - as you obviously know. All early human groups outside Africa hunted large game, and it makes total sense. Send a group of men to slaughter a big animal then feed the whole community! Australia was affected greatly by the ice age, but the effect was that the climate became significantly drier than it is today and deserts expanded. A small permanent ice cap formed in Tasmania also. My personal belief is that this new apex predator preying on the large game, combined with a widespread drying effect around the same time was too much pressure for the huge herbivores. The large predators obviously faded away after their prey disappeared. Just my theory...
@@phantomwalker8251 if only my people would get thousands of years per year...at least then my family wouldn't be struggling with the cost of daily living..
Except the Gibson desert is is Western Australia and Alice Springs is in the Northern Territory , only wrong by 900km ! Never let facts get in the way of a good story. They didnt walk into Alice Springs , they were discovered in the Gibson Desert.
Sounds like literally every European colonisation where Europeans met with and Indigenous group, the Africans (slave trade), Indians, New Zealand Maori....
Beautiful culture but today aboriginal people have freedom and rights to their ancestors land.montagnard indigenous Central highland of Vietnam we have no rights to our ancestors land , the jungle, animals what we depend on all destroyed by VN . Today is 21 centuries we still persecution by VN government.
About the turtle and wild animal food.. Maybe with new technology the Aboriginals accept that animals have to survive and that it‘s too easy to kill wild animals and reptiles, especially the turtles with eggs in their belly, but not only that.. Turtles can get very old.. what a cool animal / reptile!! I would set it free and find other food.. not eat it.. or farm them.. but that takes a very long time.. That‘s why I understand new alternatives for food.. but everybody should be able to find food.. not only buy it and that other people make a lot of money with it, knowing that the garbage/pollution problem is mainly because of packaging and people that always buy new stuff..
Aboriginal races are an amalgamation of two different races which migrated thousands of years ago before ocean levels rose quickly and cut the connection to Asia. Another race, the Australian Negritos, were here first. This knowledge was airbrushed from history in the sixties onward as aboriginal land rights movements began, claiming ‘ their’ land as they were supposedly the ‘first’ people here. Now, aboriginal peoples are people just as any people are and were subject to abuse and dispossession just as people all around the world have have suffered from injustice. They certainly don’t deserve this and as hunter-gatherers could not just change their millenniums old culture to another. There is absolutely no proof of a ‘sixty thousand year old history’ for these people. The human race is not that old. This length of time is an invention which is meant to support the unprovable evolution theory. Carbon dating and other methods of dating are greatly modified by changes in global and local radiation. Changes in Earths atmospheric constitution, for instance, affect this. People all around the globe have their legends of a universal inundation event, including the aborigines. ( yes they do, they even have stories of the first two humans). This story of a universal flood is global, something mankind never forgot. It is the story describing the instantaneous removal of the vast thermal vapour blanket which once surrounded the Earth in the upper atmosphere, forever changing the planets topography, climate and ocean levels, radiation input and greatly reducing human life spans. This occurred well over four thousand years ago. Any form of dating past this event would be grossly unreliable. Also, please do not mistake this as supporting that silly ‘ creationist’ theory, that Earth and universe were created in six literal twenty-four hour days some six thousand years ago. Mankind’s recorded history goes back only about six thousand years, that’s all. This theory defies the observable facts. The metaphors used in the bible to describe the creative epochs are not meant to be taken literally, otherwise, there would exist in the heavens a literal floodgate floating around there somewhere ( read genesis flood account), yet the purveyors of this ridiculous theory take literally the creative ‘days’ as twenty four hours. The bible is full of pictorial, colourful metaphors. I realise and respect everyone’s opinions which you have a right too, but sometimes one has to take a closer look at accepted scientific teachings as well. And for those ‘creationists’, light from distant galaxies has been travelling for some billions of years, so the universe has been around for at least this long
when the British peoples discovered the australia lands they saved the natives from getting wiped out. captain cook trained the aborigines and now they are just like people and live in harmony with the peoples of australia.
