I have been enjoying a bunch of your videos but I don't even like fishing! I'm here because you offer a unique and valuable window into Australia's Indigenous cultures. Keep 'em coming! Giving a voice to Indigenous people and communities is fantastic. Thanks from Dharug country.
Just did a quick check and you're near Cairns. Heard stories from locals north of Mossman about how badly the Aboriginals were treated not so long ago. Don't know why but your videos with the locals are so heartfelt to me. Keep going I don't know why you don't have millions of subscribers.
If you want to know how Australian aborigine genuine mindset, you need to go to their autonomy jurisdiction.. when drugs and alcohol are banned.. hmmmm.. and yeah permission is needed.. extremely rare unless you know some permanent figures there.. hmmmm.. when you really talk to a real indigenous people.. hmmmm.. you know what.. there are beautiful gem 💎 ladies over there, too .. 😊.. hmmmm.. my totem is catfish dreaming..😅..
What about local elders in my area? This is a topic that I find magnetic. The custodians of Australia are at this point, people who could help build a much better Australia. Environmentally we are on a cliff.
another great ep Nath, as you know i bloody love this stuff mate. i'm really enjoying the trust you are starting to build with the legendary traditional owners all around the place, and how everyone just looks so proud and happy to show and talk about their country, methods they catch the tucker in the area and more importantly their story and history. thanks so much for sharing mate, and in particular the Josh and Yarrabah mob for sharing with you and therefore all of us. absolutely awesome legends.
Thanks Jay. I know you already know this but for everyone else i dont think im special in any way to earn the respect and the friendships i have with people in these communities. I think anyone that shows genuine respect and an intrigue into aboriginal culture is welcome. Thanks for watching Jay!
>been here for 60000 years >invents a stick yeah keep blaming Whitey meanwhile the entire "culture" of aboriginals was genital mutilation, incest, infanticide and cannibalism.
Love reading all these positive, loving comments & I agree your stories are so educational for everyone around the globe. Keep up the hard work of filming, editing it all yourself & most of all getting out there to these beautiful homeland people sharing their life & stories to us all. Loved this episode & love your work wildreaches! 👌🏻😍🍃
I love your videos and feel very privileged to see the footage you get and people you meet. In most of your videos i am over whelmed with how badly such beautiful people were treated not so long ago. It hurts the heart to know fellow persona endured so much pain. You are helping heal wounds. It’s exactly what we need to see and hear to keep us human 💖 thanks again. It’s life changing stuff
Mate talk about relax. Your videos put me to sleep. Much the same as David attenborough docos do. That's not a bad thing, I genuinely find them interesting. They just have a soothing calm effect on me. Beautiful nature and country , you are lucky to have them mobs show you all that and so are we. Your videos do wonders for my soul hahaha. Keep it up man love the videos
Thx nath for another look into another indigenous life and culture and history of the Yarrabah people, as you have done from Cairns to the cape, Marella n i are from indigenous background ourselves and we both enjoy watching episodes that show different ways of other indigenous communities. We enjoy your episodes. Ray n Marella.😊
These videos are incredible and you do a marvelous job at sharing the story's the history and show casing the local indigenous people. Good on ya Mate keep the content coming I wish there were something like this on main stream TV I feel it would help us heal and bring all of us together
When I was a young fella we lived at second beach, the times I spent there was some of the most memorable of my life, were good to see culture is strong and the futures looking good
Howdy Nat , Always look forward to the to next episode. Your influence has inspired me. Weather down south wasn’t the best at KI but it allowed me to Get back into diving and managed to catch Scallops crabs razor fish oysters and spear a couple of fish. Love the indigenous friends you’ve made, showing their life style and stories. Hope it inspires others to embrace our land and first peoples. Andy
Another very good episode we thoughly enjoyed this. Do we take it Mel and the Nathletts have back? Are long tails everywhere or just in that area? . Well mate we are now going hunter gathering freezing cold here and snow on the way😰, at least the nieghbours garden will look as good as everyone else's. Told him we were watching you this morning! Well I don't really know what he has got against you🤔. Cheryl has been quiet this week brushing up on her bush skills hmmm! We understand there is a cyclone looming up that way is that correct😮. Take care for now...The Wild Screechers.👍
Id love to hear what bush skills Cheryls actually working on. Are you guys planning another trip to Aus? Yeah another cyclone hanging around keeping me at home unfortunately... But that means editing content which keeps all of you happy. Stay warm
As an Indigenous man, your story of the ship gave me chills, similar stories for my ancestors here on Ngarluma country, WA Love your videos bro, much respect from Roebourne WA PS Ufla need to get more mud crabs, sting ray and dugong for his videos, be awesome, thanks bro and thanks to the people of Yarrie for inviting this bro onto your country, much respect Ufla ❤💛🖤🤍💙💚
Yeah i imagine there are stories of the dutch over there on the West Coast? Ill have to get over there soon to meet everyone. Some good stingray and Turtle episodes coming mate. Im glad youre watching
Can’t help myself but keep watching your videos, I grew up in South Australia in the flinders ranges (Adnyamathanha country) growing up as kids at school we were taught about the land and it was a great way of getting white fella to understand how they use to live and made me personally respect the land I grew up on. The way you love learning about other tribes is so relatable and I love it
Most of white Australia knows nothing about Indigenous Australians. Some of us whites have a sincere understanding. Most white Australians have never even had a conversation with and Aboriginal person and don't ever care to. It's bloody tragic.
Amazing videos! Thankyou for sharing your incredible experiences and relationships you have with our precious Indigenous community. What are those longtail called? Like their scientific name or other? I couldn't find them anywhere online.
You should try encourage some of these indigenous people to start RU-vid it’s alright when white people go and catch food but it’s better seeing my own people go out and hunt you know love the videos tho mate it’s actually very interesting
It was a better life there before alcohol arrived. At Bessie Point we had fish,crabs,prawns,djalgai and wirrall in the thousands and everybody shared everything. We had oysters too but the big fat jala came from yarrabah. That's all gone now. It's nowhere near as good as it was back then.
Its so refreshing to see an Aboriginal community not marred by violence, abuse, drugs, destitute situations and hate for the current white man. I hope to experience this kindness from a mob in the future 🙏
Sorry for the horrible translation/whatever but do a story about the negroettes have a google they are local to that area and were brought onto the mission eventually after retreating to bush at first contact.
That's why I don't like putting video of our culture or what we eat on utube because you will always get someone will say disrespecting things about us white man will never stop disrespecting black people
I'm on Djabugay country just up the hill, I live in a little hamlet that actually was a mission back in the day. There's elders around who were mission kids and you can't overstate the damage that was done and the culture that was lost due to missionaries. I picked up one old uncle who was hitching to the village just after I moved in. I asked him how to say hello, good bye and thanks in local language. He recoiled into the far corner of the car seat, this 70+ year old man, and said "no sir, I'm a good boy! I won't talk the devil's tongue." I just said sorry, because I could see even asking brought up some trauma out of his past I can hardly guess at. The world's oldest surviving culture. Ten times older than the next surviving culture, China. And what's left is being lost before our eyes. The bama at Yarrabah have sacred songlines that talk about where their ancestors hunted before the sea levels rose 14,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age. What's now the great barrier reef was a coastal plain that extended to the continental shelf. they remembered that, and knew it, and sang to preserve that knowledge for thousands of years, it's only in the last 150 years western science has progressed to a point to even know that ice age happened. Their ancestors were there for it. And we let that culture fall away, in many instances actively tried to crush it. If that's the result of the missions, I don't think I need to worry about what the intention was.
Your videos are so enjoyable and so educational. Have you ever approached any TV. stations to show your channel. What you are doing is too valuable to be missed. Looks to me like it would be an ideal program for NITV. The sooner everyone gets the real story about our history and gets to see that the traditional owners are a happy sharing people that care for this magnificent country that we all love. I hope things are working out for you and your family. You are doing a mighty job.
Thanks Greg, thats inspiring to hear. I havent mate. But I will be working on something bigger this year. Going deeper and asking harder and more important questions so stay posted.
