21.01.2022 Indigenous banana cultivation dates back over 2,000 years. "The Torres Strait has historically been seen as a separating line between Indigenous groups who practiced agriculture in New Guinea but who in Australia were hunter gatherers. Our research shows the ancestors of the Goegmulgal people of Mabuyag were engaged in complex and diverse cultivation and horticultural practices in the western Torres Strait at least 2,000 years ago.... So rather than being a barrier, the Torres Strait was more of a bridge or a filter of cultural and horticultural practices going both north and south." - Kambri-Ngunnawal scholar and lead researcher Robert Williams. https://www.anu.edu.au//indigenous-banana-cultivation-date
20.01.2022 "Speak to those who've known Muir all his 66 years and you hear about a man of uncommon kindness. The man who stops to help every broken-down motorist he sees. The coach of RecLink teams for homeless footballers. The victim of unimaginable cruelties who is spending his twilight years teaching himself how to smile. Look back, too, and there was a sublime football talent an Indigenous trailblazer whom Ron Barassi once rated among the VFL's most talented players..." https://ww...w.abc.net.au//persecution-of-robert-mui/12553554 Photo credit: Donna Pickett and Robert Muir by Tony Hill, ABC News.
19.01.2022 How amazing is this? This year's Archibald Prize winner is Vincent Namatjira for 'Stand strong for who you are'. "I first met Adam in 2018, when he visited the school in Indulkana where I live, as part of his work promoting Indigenous literacy. When I saw the documentary The final quarter about Adam’s final season of AFL, my guts were churning as I relived Adam’s experiences of relentless racism on and off the field. Memories of my own experiences were stirred up and I wanted... to reach out and reconnect with Adam. We share some similar stories and experiences of disconnection from culture, language and Country, and the constant pressures of being an Aboriginal man in this country. We’ve also both got young daughters and don’t want them to have to go through those same experiences. When I was younger and growing up in the foster system in Perth, Indigenous footballers were like heroes to me. Goodesy is much more than a great footballer though, he took a strong stand against racism and said, enough is enough. I stand strong with you too, brother." - Vincent Namatjira. https://www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/pri/archibald/2020/30235/

17.01.2022 An amazing film showing 50 years of real life footage of Donydji - a small Indigenous community in North East Arnhem land. In 1974, Dr Neville White, a biological anthropologist, spent part of each year on the Homeland, responding to the community's request to resist the threat of mining license claims. HOMELAND STORY is a moving portrait of a resilient and determined community facing the challenges of maintaining their Donydji Homeland and preserving their vibrant culture.... www.trybooking.com/BJRSD
