- To mark 250 years since British explorers landed in Australia for the first time, authorities are planning to unveil new memorials at Captain James Cook's landing site in Botany Bay, while a replica Endeavour sailing vessel will circumnavigate Australia - when Covid-19 restrictions allow.

But one Aboriginal elder, who grew up on the shores of Botany Bay and has spent years involved in the resurrection of his Indigenous Dharawal culture, explains why Aboriginal people will not be celebrating

What a bitter story taller -we not part of us ! We created best country! History of every country is wars killing, oppression on much bigger scale ...we Polish had war with Germany and no bitterness any more. Stop this division, wound opening...move over
I love how all the written and documented history of Australia has been distorted over the last 250 years!
418 years.not 250.
What about the Dutch landings, exploring, mapping, claiming, breeding, naming - any special memories there? What were Hartog and Tasman like? What happened to those over 70 sailors who were not seen again?
Exactly. And the French
@@mattayres5147 Yes! Interesting case of Selective Memory! 😏
China had millions of millions poeple killed in rescent history- as most countries- and no more cry forever about past We have to progress, build future
I used to live in La Perouse in the early 50's, now I live in Adelaide. Mick
I don't mean to insult his stories but his great uncles great grandfather wasn't alive 250 years ago. That's a ridiculous claim to make and really goes to show the highly subjective value of oral histories.
How do you make that calculation. There seems to be plenty of scope for that relative to be alive at that time.
This shows a real lack of knowledge both of the accuracy of oral history in First Nations culture and the way that First Nations people speak about their family.
@@barnabychivers8683 Even the sole book written on the subject states that it is an argument/possible case. The only possible thing you could be referencing in an Australian context is a single story about a bird that kicks in South Australia that was actually about a kangaroo.
No one wanted to be a abo when there were no handouts now everyone wants to be an abo
I'm sorry you feel that way, I think most people don't think about being a different race to receive an extra 200 a week if going to university. But I understand that you obviously do and that must be a really rough thing to have to deal with.
Em the aboriginals were pretty welcoming to Cook, they didn’t really care about him. Infact cook and many of his crew even wrote about how they were friendly and more just intrigued to why they are landing...
Given the fact that Aboriginals did not even have written language let alone the wheel, I seriously doubt they remember/recorded what happened even last year
😂😂
I doubt they even knew how to light a fire to make smoke signals
I love comedy, don’t you?
Old mate isn’t 100% aboriginal, he is almost as white as I am.
Our skin colour don't gage our aboriginality.
@@CrazyWhiteVanDriver Or the grasp of the English language
What? No welcome to country?
And the word kangaroo was first recorded from my people in Cooktown my guugu yimithirr people shared some of our language with captain cook and his crew around 130 words in our language guugu yimithirr language was written down everyone speaks one word of guugu yimithirr language and that's kangaroo just spelt a little different
Interesting you mention that. I once read the diary of a Mr Watkin Tench, a companion of Sir Arthur Phillip. He states that the Dharuk people called all animals along the Parramatta river 'kangaroo', big or small.
The native people of Australia must acknowledge Invasion of the Australian continent and Tasmania was inevitable.
We are all fortunate to live here with democracy doing its best to empower all of us to choose our own destiny.
Could have been so much worse for humanity.
Why are we constantly divided? What is so hard about accepting the fact there will always be two stories at play with regards to the colonisation of this country. Perhaps the real indifference is that we are increasingly exposed to one side of the story ( the imperialistic side) hence why we are inclined to feel divided. There i just answered my own question :)
" we are increasingly exposed to one side of the story ( the imperialistic side) " Totally untrue! I and almost all other whites in Australia are actually taught to feel shame and guilt for our peoples past, while aboriginals are taught to feel great pride in their peoples history and to overlook the negatives like child marriage and molestation, etc. You could say we're taught the "imperialist" side though its in a negative, not a general positive as a whole! Be honest and more objective next time champ
@@WhiteAus I'm as white as it gets and can't remember being taught to feel shame about our national heritage for even one second, except maybe the fact we were all convicts doing hard labour here originally. The social commentary over it has become quite divisive I agree, but unless classroom curriculum's have radically changed within the last decade (and those curicculum's haven't changed since the second world war it seems like) then I gotta call you out for talking nonsense mate lol
Because the British dumped their prisoners here.. it's not something to be proud off..
A short pencil is better than a long memory. James Cook is innocent until proven guilty. When most of us go to a place that we never been to, sure, we have a look around, take a few photos, buy a few souvenirs write down our experiences, then go home and share those experiences with others. It's the human thing to do. For over a thousand years, there has been explorers, from the Vikings onwards.
The Vikings didn’t write things down? The only form of written language they had was runes why are Viking stories more credible to you than indigenous stories
@@blakeweston7593That's easy! They were well evolved! They built large fully functioning communities, had farming, shipping and trading, a very strong cultural base and religious identity! They explored most other countries and bravely crossed many oceans! Aboriginals were tiny itinerant unfriendly tribes all with separate languages!!
He can't be that old.
Well said Uncle Shane, I really appreciate your understanding and the words you have said in this clip.
It is very easy make things up to fit isn’t it
Shane looks half european thankyou captain cook for making Australia a better place people like Shane and myself and many others would not be born if Australia was not descoverd
Australia wasn’t discovered by captain cook it was already settled
Correct settled then discovered like every other country and they celibrate their culture but we don't because white people hate theirselvs thinking that there black when their not
and thank you to the people of hawaii who killed captain cook. if they didnt do this honour, who knows what else cook would have stolen in the name of england.
To be honest Australia was gonna be discovered at some point. Even if Europeans didn’t leave Europe it’s likely other continents would step up to the challenge.
People like Shane were the saved generation as people like himself were often attacked and killed by other more full blooded aboriginals!
This history is a hundred percent lie. The fact that Majapahit (indonesia) has already set foot in australia before james cook
That dont count fool, they mean first european.
They didn’t stay
@@ham1530Seriously, most of the WA and Northern Territory residents are at least 50% Indonesian!
@@jenniferharrison8915 you’re pulling my leg
@@ham1530 Well there are a lot of Indonesians in Northern Australia and most Aboriginals are descended from Indonesians, and the Dutch definitely came here in force in the 1600s and claimed it! Basically, England we not the first invaders!
Lol never ever ever happened
I hope native people of Australia will be respected and get their rights.
Exactly what would you like to see happen ?
They have had equal rights since 1967.
@@rayjohnsonjohnson4458 equal rights since 1788.
@@buck4350 I know what they want to happen. They want all of Australia back, especially the most valuable land and all the natural resources to sell to China...but China will just take it anyway.
All of this is pretty rubbish.
You are pretty rubbish yourself mate
Tamil peoples death first Australian attack memorial 😢😢
