The deep Indigenous history of Australia deserves to be up in lights 8-)

They came - they wandered- they conquered others and colonised - they were in turn colonised without being conquered but by an attempt at assimilation and improving their lives, same as the newer waves of colonisers who we allow here as an upgrade on their life 'back home'....

It is the way of life ...... forget the golden temples and the grain storage and all that... grass is not suitable for human consumption so a few grass seeds might fill the hole but that's it... and Australia is the preferred destination for every Jack and Jill on earth... ask yourself why.  doesn't mean it is perfect and not in need of a massive overhaul - including of the idea that mass immigration will solve all - madness.... and it is up to the people to enforce the necessary changes...

I'd suggest we move to a sovereign fund first off to preserve our resources and the profits from those for Australians first.

What were the main historical changes/developments between, say, 10,000 B.C. and  1,500 A.D. in thus "deep Indigibeous history of Australia"?

I note this bit in the article: Australia is home to the oldest continuous cultures in the world. That's a special thing and surely grounds to be highlighted in the same vein. This misses the fact that everyone elses culture is equally as old, but everyone elses culture evolved and advanced and did not remain in the stone age.

Seems very odd to be proud of remaining a stone age hunter gatherer while the rest of the world advanced.   :-?

There is ample evidence that is a relative modern development, perhap in response to changing environmental considerations.  Tsk, tsk, tsk... ::) ::)

I've always thought of this to be something to not be proud of or be negative about.
They stayed like that because of isolation and the social and technological evolution that ancient migration facilitated.

But only lefties can turn stagnation into  badge of honor.

Imagine if whites were clinging to social norms of just 30 years ago, they'd be denounced.

Yes - changing environmental conditions made the Golden Age society revert to Stone Age culture... that makes a lot of sense now...

20,000 years  of 'continuous history ', one dormant volcano to show for it.

Development.

There is no history when all it is - is Chinese Whispers passed down from generation to generation.

Appin 'massacre'!!!!!!   THOUSANDS of Aborigines were FLUNG from cliffs and heartlessly MURDERED!!!

Truth telling - a gang of Aboriginal criminals numbering about fourteen, who murdered without remorse a greater number of White Settlers than their own group numbered, including innocent and defenceless women and children - were hunted down like the Hamas style dogs they were and brought to battle and defeated - with some of the 'warriors' leaping into a shallow creek bed for either tactical advantage or from fear - and the women and children being taken into protective custody and removed to a far safer and more healthy environment, from which their descendants - not 'massacred' like those forebears and living in comfortable houses on government payouts - could whine about what a terrible thing it was that their grampa murdered women and children and was brought to justice.

Many of you need your heads read.

Not history.


To call it history is a violation of language and thought, like 'first nations (they were never nations) or Aboriginal art (they never had any art before Europeans introduced the idea to them), Aboriginal agriculture or cities (Pacoesque fantasy).

They are evolving, making up for lost time and demonstrating they have ideas that you refuse to acknowledge.  Tsk, tsk, tsk... ::) ::)

They did not evolve before 1788.They stagnated for tens of thousands of years. Aboriginal life in 10,000 BC was indistinguishable from their lives in 1700 AD.  They cannot blame the rest of the world for that.

Now they are catching up to the rest of the world. Which is a good thing.
But some of them, the activist cadres, are blaming Europeans for bringing modernity to the continent of Australia. A stupid thing.

Never mind the lights just tell me where I can find the Indigenous history books, language doesn’t matter, I’m sure that I can find a translator.
