In this video, Shirley talks about the origins of the Welcome to Country ceremony and the cultural relevance to Aboriginal people. She explores its inception, just 50 years ago, by Ernie Dingo and Richard Walley and calls into question the authenticity and meaning behind this cultural practice.
This is part four of a five part interview series on Aboriginal culture and modern challenges in remote communities. Shirley Crane is an experienced educator currently teaching in Katherine, NT, Australia. She grew up in far north Queensland and has spent much of her teaching career working with Aboriginal communities.

Welcome to the country was not the original customs of the aboriginal people. It is a mockery of aboriginal culture.

@SueNicholls-95 17 дней назад

They didn't have welcome to country ceremonies until Ernie Dingo thought it up in the late 70's early 80's. Just like the dot painting was introduced to the indigenous by an Englishman!!!

@Antechynus 3 дня назад

Dot painting was taught to a group of aboriginal women in the late 1960s.. by a Frenchwoman... not an Englishman... there's film of it happening in the ABC archive. You were close...

Listening to Shirley, there is no such thing apart from the ernie dingo made up on the day thing. This has now turned into a money making venture for the aboriginals ... those in the cities who want extra money. I think its a joke. But good to know that in the main, the tribes care naught for it.

I know right. My employer got a bloke to do a smoking ceremony for us. We were in western Sydney, his ancestors were from north Queensland. I challenged him that he’s not indigenous to western Sydney and therefore not permitted to do this. He didn’t like that.

@k20t30pl 13 дней назад

And they all killed one another over who could have the land. No boundary markers were ever set in stone. It was all up for grabs.

@williamblack7813 8 дней назад

Yes, they were very territorial. One group/tribal group 'hated' another.

@k20t30pl 8 дней назад

@williamblack7813 I would not say territorial because they had no real territory because they were always stealing territory, thereby making all land up for grabs. Pygmies were the first indiginous people of Australia. They were killed off by the people who came after them.

Welcome to my country. I'd like to acknowledge the early pioneers who came to this country over two hundred years ago and developed an almost uninhabitable land by establishing farms, roads, schools, hospitals, towns and cities, railways, ports and harbours, universities, health clinics, telecommunications, factories and industries, warm (or cool) comfortable homes, shopping centres, a reliable abundant food supply, libraries, clean water, electricity and gas, airlines, the mining industry ... the list goes on. Welcome to my country. The copyright of the above 'Welcome ...' belongs to me. Certain members of the community will be allowed to use it at a fee of $5,000. White-fellas may use it for free.

@francesfallon8121 3 дня назад

I am 81. Born and bred in Australia. I don't need to be welcomed to my country. And I don't need to look at three flags representing Australia. And I don't need aboriginal so called culture to be rammed down my throat. A few years ago I went on the Ghan to Darwin. In Darwin and at other towns I went out of my way and met aborigines from different tribes which was a marvellous experience. What is happening now is a complete opposite to what I experienced, and I am resenting the big mouths and politicians who are aiding division.

So much for the alleged “we are only caretakers” of the land. Now it’s “ I own this land” so basically someone is lying and committing fraud. Charge the offender and put them before the courts.

RIP to all the settlers and slaves that came to Australia and were speared and murdered. RIP also the immigrants who are still been robbed, assaulted and being racial insulted. I was just called to go home to Asia by an Aboriginal lady.
