20.01.2022 [-O-] ~ For those who don't know about the history of the stolen generation ~ [-O-] The Stolen Generations are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who, when they were children, were taken away from their families and communities as the result of past government policies. Children were removed by governments, churches and welfare bodies to be brought up in institutions, fostered out or adopted by white families. The removal of Aboriginal children took place from the ...early days of British colonisation in Australia. It broke important cultural, spiritual and family ties and has left a lasting and intergenerational impact on the lives and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Government policies concerning Aboriginal people were implemented under different laws in the different states and territories of Australia. These laws meant that the lives of Indigenous people were controlled by government: marriages, work, wages, housing, children and access to health care. Records about the Stolen Generations and their families were kept by governments, as well as by churches and missions. Record keepers all over Australia hold a vast amount of records about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people but over time some have been lost due to fires, floods and poor record management. Lost records and changes to government departments can make it very difficult for Stolen Generations to trace family connections.

16.01.2022 Dream time story. Just one generation ago Australian school kids were taught that Aboriginal people couldn’t count beyond five, wandered the desert scavenging for food, had no civilisation, couldn’t navigate and peacefully acquiesced when Western Civilisation rescued them in 1788. For many years our land was carefully managed to maximise productivity. This resulted in fantastically fertile soils, now exploited and almost destroyed by white fullas intensive agriculture. We had... sophisticated number systems, knew bush medicine, and navigated using stars and oral maps to support flourishing trade routes across the country. We mounted fierce resistance to the British invaders, and sometimes won significant military victories such as the raids by Aboriginal warrior Pemulwuy. Most white fullas worked within fixed ideas about what constituted Aboriginal culture. I guess even scientists and anthropologists are fallible. They grow up with pre conceived ideas such as Aboriginal culture is primitive which they all accept as true. Anything that doesn’t fit into that idea is dismissed as irrelevant or aberrant. Only 200 years ago, people discussed whether Aboriginal people were sub-human. Ideas change slowly, and the underlying message lingers on, long after it has been falsified. As late as 1923 our people were described as a very primitive race of people. Not so primitive They all believed that Aboriginal culture was primitive, and our people couldn’t possibly say anything useful about how to manage the land, or how to navigate. Aboriginal culture is more than just cave painting and artwork. They really need to learn more about our scientific knowledge. In my experience, well-educated white Australians, trying so hard to be politically correct, often still seem to find it difficult to escape their childhood image of primitive Aboriginal people. They must overcome the intellectual inertia that keeps them in that old paradigm, stopping them from recognising the enormous contribution that our culture can make to their understanding of the world, and to their attempts to "manage" it. When paradigms change, the world itself changes with them. In recent years, it has become clear that our traditional Aboriginal ancestors knew a great deal about the sky, knew the cycles of movements of the stars and the complex motions of the sun, moon and planets. There is even found a sort of Aboriginal Stonehenge, that points to the sunset on midsummers day and midwinters day. And I suspect that this is only the tip of the iceberg of Aboriginal astronomy. So should our schools include an Aboriginal perspective in their lessons? I argue that kids studying science today should also learn much from the way that pre-contact Aboriginal people used observation to build a picture of the world around them.

05.01.2022 BOHRA THE KANGAROO...(Dreamtime Story) Legend has it that there was a time in blackfellow land when the night came down like a black cloud and veiled the world in darkness letting neither moon nor stars be seen. But as Bohra liked to feed at night, he objected to this darkness. Being a great wirinun, he put an end to it by just rolling the darkness back as if it had been a rug and let it rest on the edge of the world while the stars and moon shone out. Bohra was very pleased ...with himself as he could now see to feed during the night and he could go about as he pleased on his four legs, for in those days Bohra went on all fours like a dog. One night as he was feeding, Bohra saw a number of fires ahead and heard sounds of many voices singing. As he got closer, he saw strangely marked figures dancing round and round the firelit circle. The voices grew louder and louder as the boomerangs clicked faster and faster and then the noise died away into silence, the figures stopped dancing and disappeared into the bush. Bohra felt as he had watched them, a strong desire to dance too. He reared himself on his hind-legs balancing himself with his tail and jumped round and round the ring behind the last man. The men turned and saw Bohra standing on his hind-legs and looked in wondering terror at him. The men began to dance again and Bohra just tried to do as they did. Leaving Bohra to himself in the ring, the men went away and after a long interval came back wearing rough looking tails of grass bound around their waist belts and began jumping round the ring as Bohra had done with their long tails waggling behind them. When they stopped, an old tribal wirinun told Bohra that because he had come to their corroboree without being asked, he must be punished. He did not want to kill Bohra as he had shown them a new dance but as punishment, his tribe for ever after, shall move jumping on their hind-legs and their forefeet shall be as hands and their tails shall balance them. The tribal wirinun also made Bohra a tribal brother and as such, must forever keep silent their secret rites. As part of BohraÃââs initiation into the tribe, his canine teeth were knocked out and his tribe, to this day, have never had these teeth since. Ever since the men of the Bohra tribe have put on their false tails and danced the kangaroo dance at sacred corroborees as when Bohra was bewitched into going on two legs, so starting a way which all kangaroos have had to follow since and this was how they learnt to hop as they do.
