Do Aboriginal Australians value education on country? 

I am originally from Wales UK and we have spent the last 30 years trying to ensure the Welsh language is not lost. All children attending school in Wales must learn Welsh. I feel for anyone losing their culture their history - your native language is needed to understand the stories passed down.

I don't know why it's so surprising, given that they have the longest oral histories on the planet. That kind of learning doesn't come easy.

You can hear the pain in Andrew's voice. I hope he finds some peace. The way forward is together. Never stop talking to each other.

This is very enlightening. Many thanks for sharing...

I'm a Yupik Eskimo from Alaska and I agree. Much love to the Aboriginal people of Australia.

I was just gonna comment something about them speaking perfect Australian English and wanted to ask if they have long forgotten their own language until I got to the part where the man in black said he can't speak his native language. It's sad that their identities were robbed from them and seem to be struggling to educate the younger generation on their own language and culture. I hope native cultures continue to be kept alive.

Side note... Aboriginal Aussies look really dravidian

bro had a Compton hat on! that shit is mind blowing to me like whaaaaa

I am from southern part of Tamilnadu, India; more specifically east cost of Bay of Bengal. All the aboriginal are looking like my grandma, brothers and sisters. We have a similar habit of smearing white ash on our forehead, daily soon after taking bath.

This was deeply moving, thank you for posting this

This is good that they are keeping their language alive cos I am a Kenyan from Africa and am not yet a parent but I always say at home I will speak Swahili or Kikuyu to my kids that's what I will teach them, English they can learn at school. Cos here especially these modern parents they are losing touch wanting to become more western they want their kids to speak English only, mostly it's seen as some type of prestige but to me, it's more of a colonial mentality at work.

Lots of Tamil place names in Papua New Guinea, much yet to be discovered.

I’m so happy to receive this information and knowledge . Thank you 💞🎵💥

I'm a bidayuh Bau tribe from Sarawak,East Malaysia.Love to the Aboriginal people/tribe of Australia.Hope to see you one day after the pandemic ends,in an international event that represents the heritage of any aboriginal tribe across the world..

Awesome report! Thank you for uploading.

I'm English I believe in keeping our dialects alive , each part of the country is different.

Holy shit ,they looks exactly like tamilians and south indians.

It is important for Aboriginal kids to be educated, in maths and science plus their own cultural teachings. You have to keep up with the world. otherwise you will be left behind.

கண்ணீர் என் கண்களில் எண்ணற்ற ஆண்டுகள் ஆந்த தனித் தீவில்...ஏன் அங்கு சென்றீர்கள்.. முத்த குடி என் தமிழ் குடி. உங்களின் தோற்றம் என் பட்டியை நினைவுக்கு கொண்டு வருகிறது.

Tamil brothers and sisters.These people are our people.Some of our ancestors settled in Australia,thousands of years ago.

மடுக்கும் உறைக்கேன். Which is மறுபடியும் உறைக்கிறேன்....a pure tamil words

They definitely look more like south indian Tamils than africans.. how do I know?..because I am from Tamil Nadu...

They look like Papuan Indonesia 🇮🇩. I love Australia

I want to visit Australia and learn about the aboriginal people. They're beautiful and their roots are dug deep in their land, I hope they get the representation they deserve.

I am happy to share this that the aboriginal talks tamil..In this video 3.03 they are saying மறுபடியும் சொல்லுகிறேன்...Talk again

As an artist from the US I'd really like to go see the dot-paintings and meet the artists there in Australia. Such gorgeous works of art.

Awesome report thank you so much its my first time i hear Aboriginal people because i see on tiktok a grill and i say i have to know this people i like them beautifully people and wonderful culture. from Somalia

The interplay project is extremely interesting and important and should be compulsory for all governors and educators to be familiar with

Much love from your West Melanesian neighbors from Maluku!

They exactly look like Tamils... Like my grandma speaking English lol 😂.

Very eye opening, thank you

Nice vid and full of knowledge.

Long life aborigin & Papua 🇮🇩🇦🇺. Love from Java island 🇮🇩

I'm not an Australian, but every time I hear the story about this country from the original peoples until colonization, I feel in my heart a strange mixture of feelings, something like compassion, and that's very good, it makes me feel human...

I don't know how but these lovely people look exactly like us Tamils❤️

Everyone saying they look South Indian, it’s because of massive migrations from India to Australia 4000 years ago when aryans didn’t immigrate to South Asia yet. The people who left remained Dravidian unlike many population that got mixed with aryans.

Its depressing to see old customs die, I know I wont get the same cremation as my gradpa or grandma did, their traditions died with them.

The Mrs. says: These Aboriginal people are not Negro, their just not, their lineage is completely different from Africans. A most unique people that have survived thousands of years in a harsh land alone and without any help from anyone. They are truly Gods children and they know things we do not know. I do not think the they are getting enough help from the Australian Government and are neglected and ignored, that is evil and someone needs to address their needs and for once treat them better then their ancestors of the past.

I came to know about aboriginal Australians today only and i qatched many videos about them today. And i dont know why, but i am loving them. They are still rooted to their culture. Weldone.

This was really a good video. I can't help but notice that the non aboriginal kids don't have anything similar for their education. For all peoples to truly come from a place of tolerance for each other's culture both have to have some understanding of the other.

I'm happy for them, the young generantions, that literally are trying to keep their own local laguage alive again. Yeah, I'm really happy. And somehow, I feel like, I think they look a lot like papua folks 'cause I see their facial expressions are kinda tottally alike.

My what a handsome and developed race of people.

Im encouraged by this... its give and take Modern and old. We must compromise and show love to all...

Can someone explain why there is a disclaimer at the start of the video about seeing or hearing dead people? Is it something to do with aboriginal culture?

Is there any relation between aboriginals and tamil people?

Education or not working together needs knowledge to be able to get along with each other

3:47...SALUTE TO THIS MAN AND DAT HAT. CPT Love.

1. 40 sec she looks like our south dist village women .. even now south dist people apply ashes on fore head and neck..i love to watch more videos related to these people. love from Tamilnadu India.

Much love from the indigenous Crimean Tatar people to the indigenous Mariwoong people!

Our friends in India are right. They share much in common with the Birhors of Chota Nagpur in India. Recent Y-DNA studies prove there is some common ancestry with Tamils. There is also linguistic evidence with of a shared language Bundjalung language spoken in the Northern Rivers area of NSW and the Birhors - The word “naked” in Birhori is “nunga” - it’s the same in Bundjulung. The word for “woman” is “Kuri” in both languages. Topsy-turvey also exactly the same - “Palti”. Even basic vocabulary is the same. “Father” in Bundjalung is “Baban” and in Birhori it is “Baba”. The word “new” in both languages is ‘Nia’, the word “good” is ‘bugal’’ The Indians also introduced the dingo to Australia. So much history is hidden from us. The state of archeology, anthropology, and historical analysis here in Australia is the laughing stock of the world. There is a narrative that has taken over to the point of sheer absurdity. Isolated and uncontacted for 65,000 years?? Absolutely unscientific and irrational lunacy.

I would -re-define; (the word/term); "Education".

wow its great. effort they are making to save their pride and heritage

Proud to be Australian

what does the first warning that said "the following film may contain images and voices of people who may have died" mean? i dont know anything about aboriginal culture and im curious

It is good that aboriginal kids understand their culture and speak their language, but to be successful in the wide world they must have that knowledge to enable them to do so. Cultural aspects alone will not be sufficient. This may be sad, but it is reality.

I think it’s important that people everywhere retain their identity, ideas and culture but they must learn from the best the world has to offer. It’s the best way for them to thrive and English is critical to access the latest knowledge about just about anything. I salute and respect everyone who is bilingual like myself and I feel a great loss when I meet someone who is too bigoted and holding on to false pride by not wanting to master English.

I’d love to be a part of this set up. Is there a way to contact?

wonderful

See how oppressed these people are? Plus plenty of free money and no expectations.

Sending 🥰❤❤❤ to these interesting people I hope I get to see and hear more from them, especially in their own words. Great video.

Thank you for saving of the Shad man 👍

Northern Aboriginal Australians can trace as much as 11% of their genomes to migrants who reached the island around 4,000 years ago from India, a new study suggests. Along with their genes, the migrants also have brought more advanced tool-making techniques and the ancestors of the dingo. The Anthropological Survey of India supports a deep genetic link between Indian tribes and Australian Aborigines. When the Anthropological Survey of India sampled 966 samples of individuals from 26 different modern-day Indian tribes, they found a genetic marker that until recently had only been seen in Australian Aboriginals. They are extremely the same as Indian Dalit people. These included Aboriginal Australians from the Northern Territories, highlanders from Papua New Guinea, several populations from Southeast Asian and India, and a handful of people from the US and China. She confirmed an ancient association between the genomes of Australians, New Guineans, and the Mamanwa - a Negrito group from the Philippines. These populations diverged from each other around 36,000 years ago, suggesting that they all descended from an early southward migration out of Africa. But Pugach also found evidence of more recent gene flow from India and northern Australia, which took place around 141 generations ago. This genetic fraction could not have been come from the initial wave of migrants into Australia, since it is absent from New Guinean and Mamanwa genomes, and it is too uniformly spread across the northern Aboriginal genomes to have come from European colonists. This genetic mingling coincided with the arrival of microliths - small stone tools that formed the tips of weapons - and the first appearance of the dingo, which most closely resembles Indian dogs. All of these changes may be related to the same migration. “There have been very few genetic studies of Australians," Stoneking says, "and not anything like the dense genome-wide study we carried out.” A few smaller studies of mitochondrial DNA and the Y-chromosome had hinted at recent gene flow between India and Australia2,3, but an earlier genome-wide study missed it by not including any Indian populations4, and a project that sequenced a full Aboriginal genome dismissed signs of gene flow from India as a spurious result

100,000 years and they invent a stick

குமரிகண்டம் இருந்த காலத்தில் தமிழரோடு தொடராக இருந்த நிலப்பரப்பு தான் ஒஸ்ரேலியா என்று சொல்கிறார்கள். எனவே அவர்கள் தமிழர்களின் ஒரு பிரிவினர்தான். அவர்களை சுதந்திரமாக வாழ விடுங்கள்.😚😚😚

They surely value education, but not the culture taken away from them. They should get value education for all the Lands that have been taken from them.

As an American, I would've never guessed the guy at 4:45 was Australian if I hadn't heard his accent. He looks like he could be Puerto Rican or Dominican.

It's so important. I wish I could speak Irish properly :(

Beautiful indigenous people…I love you.

Why they look like south indian

Very educational. Some Australians treat there neighbors poorly to the point people refuse to return. When you look at pictures you see their pain they are beautiful people Racism is Ugly.

When Australians are explaining something, they raise their voice at the end of each sentence.

really they look more close to indians.

I really want to meet these people I love them sooo much 😩❤️

hello brother, may god bless you! May I take a few seconds or minutes of aboriginal videos for learning media. thank you...

They look like tamil people 🤔

According to history (Myths) around 5,800 years back there was a big land from Sri lanka to Australia. At that time Australian part is belong to Rama king & was under the indian kings. Same period the part between Sri Lanka & Australia was Sunk to the sea due to earthquake. These peoples are originated from Kerala, India. Sri lanka also has relations of those people. those peoples called "Veddhas". Now Small qty of those people remains in Mahiyangana village & nearby areas of sri lanka.

I'm voting NO in the upcoming referendum. But back to question, yes they do value education but not our idea of education. They also teach in a totally different way. What they believe and teach about the earth is what we should be teaching.

amazing its do make education for future ours generation that to be knownledge about it

They look like south indians

May God protect and bless our ATSI brotthers and sisters. Greetings from your neighbour up north. You guys are wonderful nation.

So many Aboriginals mixed with Aussie English men, who obviously have very strong stomachs...

Being a minority in your own land is a greatly distressing & upsetting situation. Colonization (read christianity) has killed cultures worldwide and has not emancipated them from poverty and struggles of life.

There is so much to understand about the Aboriginal culture. Each has a different knowledge and it all can be explained in a RU-vid video. Or in the comment section..

When i look at these people i can see a few different ethnic groups, indian, hispanic/mexican. Wouldn't be surprised if they share a percentage of the same genetics.

Dear blessed spirits. Education. What is education. Your past ancestors sat and listened when I told them about our dream time. About our mother. Those were great moments of teaching which was not teaching. When you have keen ears, there is no effort in entering the soul. It’s music to all ears. Teaching care, love, respect of old spirits, rivers, mountains, animals, trees and mother is the true education. So dearly missing in todays world. Money and capital influences have blocked the music to the souls. My people, let the music dance again. Let your dreams flow. See what happiness your ancestors once had. Regain the power to look after something precious. She belongs to your future. Let the music play once more. Peace Love flow to you

South Indians may or may not be related to Australian Aboriginals, it all depends on Out of Africa theory being true or not. The theory clearly states that African people did settle on the coastal region of South India as well as Southeast Asia before eventually crossing Sundaland to Sahel (Australia). Even till this day, there are many dark-skinned native will similar skin tone and language to Australian aboriginals in Southeast Asia. South India is a lot more tricky since many South Indians were heavily colonized by North Indians and adopted many Aryan cultures. As a result, while they may share skin tone and genetical similarity, culturally, South Indians are closer to North Indians.

We are nagar people once upon a time we speak a language called Thamizh 💯

I just love the way the aboriginals speak English.

love love love garden guy on the way see you soon garden guy

They look like south Indian and The Great Andmanis .

At 3.01 sec madukum uraiken - marupadaium uraikiren is a absolute pure tamil word meaning i am saying again omg we are related glory to tamil ❤

Don't worry future is bright for these people.

Look at the guy in the Compton hat. Lol

Make one prime minister, and make learning aborigional language a priority subject in schools in australia

Nice Video.. do they have a native language?

Why that warning at the beginning about video or sound of people who have died

My son at primary school in the early 2.000 wanted to learn about Aboriginal culture and was told that he couldn't because he was not an Aborigine.

Strike hard, we are with you 🫵🙏💚🇮🇳👊😤🛩️🗡️🪖⚡️⚔️☠️⚔️☢️

They look like south Indians with African culture

These people are the rakhshas mentioned in the Ramayana... rakhshas. (rakh- means ashes in hindi. These people traditionally covered their bodies in ashes).When in exile in the forest, Ram and his brothers constantly chased the rakhshas down south into the forest because they were bothersome, according to the ancient Ramayana. Some rakhshas remained in south India and some were separated for thousands or millions of years in Australia when the land broke apart. This must have happened millions of years ago. Don't forget Ravan was a rakhshas. Ram got Hanuman, (who was from another rakhshas tribe), to fight with him against the rakhshas Ravan who had kidnapped Ram's wife Sita.
