Traditional owners lash Rio heritage claim
Mining giant Rio Tinto has come under fire for its public response after destroying a significant indigenous site in Western Australia dating back 46,000 years.

Traditional owners in Western Australia's north have criticised Rio Tinto's "outrageous" public response after it destroyed a significant indigenous site dating back 46,000 years.

Rio detonated explosives in an area of the Juukan Gorge on Sunday, destroying two ancient deep-time rock shelters and causing significant distress to the Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Pinikura people.

The mining giant was granted approval for work in 2013, but subsequent archaeological excavation had revealed ancient artefacts including grinding stones, a bone sharpened into a tool and 4000-year-old braided hair.

A couple of rocks, "a bone# and a bit of braided hair.

This makes it a significant sacred site,Truely?

I guess when your entire cultures only claim to fame is a "sharpened stick" after 40,0000 years.

3000 years ago China and Egypt were building magnificent structures and cities.

Australia aborigines had........the stick.

2000 years ago massive armies and cities of great culture sounded.

Australian aborigines had........the stick

1000 years ago cultures were growing with many wondrous works of art and construction of beautiful buildings

Australian aborigines had.......yo guessed it.......The stick

Get over it, they are a failed civilization, composed of predominantly lazy bludgers.

There would have been a consultation with traditional owners prior to the mining lease being granted over the area.

No doubt there are royalties involved.

Perhaps the issue should be taken up with those traditional owners who signed it off.

Be another case of different tribal groups claiming connection.

sounds like the sites were discovered after excavation started.

Sounds like rio blew them up deliberately so that their permit couldn't be revoked

I've said all along that Muslim terrorists are extreme right wingers. They actually have a lot in common with the extreme right wingers on this forum. This thread is evidence of that

Back to the Aboriginal thing. Pretty sad of the Mining Company to destroy what little left the Aboriginals have of any meaning of their past.
We would hold value if it was a site confirmed of Neanderthal or early Caucasoid use in Europe, etc. It's all about valued knowledge of the past and I find Aboriginal sites as valuable to us Australians as a whole. It's part of our history too, which is different than others.

Did the Mining Company just do an

AVATAR

for the cheese?
