Aboriginal history

If you're interested, you'll need 12 1/2 minutes to hear this from the aboriginals' point of view.

Thanks for sharing this, Mike. :) I must admit I've always thought of the Aborigine people as hunters/gatherers...folks just hanging out living off the land. After watching this video obviously the Aborigine people are much more than what I thought them to be. Definitely an eye-opening video.

My education here in the states didn't help things either. The history of Australia, from what I was told, was...undiscovered continent...penal colony with a local population and bizarre animals...bang, modern Australia. I really enjoyed hearing about the history of the Aborigines. Any population who can export their leftover food is obviously doing something right. :thumbsup:
