Indigenous Cultures

[~StarBright~]

Thank you lanaktb, that is sad and interesting stuff.

It really highlights just how it was such a "planned" excercise to eraticate such an innocent people. Maybe you should ditto that info into the Sorry thread- might make some of those people suddenly feel a little....oh...... um..... sorry?

I think it is so sad that so much has been lost- i think its great that people are out there trying to put back the peices. I have really enjoyed reading about the Aboriginal Culture, yet it always sadens (sp) me to know that there is soooo much not in books that we may never know...

I have done a lot of worlly pondering and i have always looked at Australia in its isolation as a key to our true origins and alot of religious issues. This place was so rich with life that had been self sufficient- away from the worlds influences (on a vast sense- there were a few visitors along the way- BYKWIM) for centuries- maybe and possibly thousands of centuries- They must have known something about the universe and such things and how they fit within it.

and i see that maybe they were meant to preserve such knowledge and one day be able to share it- i still hope that somewhere along the line- not everything has been lost.


It has come up in another thread that perhaps this thread should be named Aboriginal Culture rather than Indigenous Culture- ( i def understand the reason explained- and its true- Indigenous applies to most if not all native people of lands where ever they are) Its just that as a few people have discussed here- i was a little unsure if Aboriginal or Aborigine was the appropriate term to use- i think i will change it ebough to satisfy......

Mod can I please change the title to Australian Indigenous Culture- TIA

Thankyou everyone for your contributions!
