now that you've done that, if you would, I'm interested in a bit more now of who you are you just mentioned as an aboriginal player. We're gonna have to explain now some terms here again.The context of this is the search for racial equity on typically the racial component of that search eyes
to Europeans, wherever they may be. But in this sense, I don't really know yet if you could help us understand Aboriginals , the word itself, the distinction between aboriginal and indigenous relative to your own identity.Yeah, really good question.

So right now we're in this narrow margin. Of course you would wanna be born right now. Those aboriginal people they knew more about the environment than you could find out on the Internet today. They had this intimate understanding of it and--and appreciated what
It's an adjacent story to, but very inspired by, the American Indian Movement. It's called ARM-- Aboriginal Rights Movement in that movie. But Sheila was just transcendent, one of the best actors ever, who keeps herself in theater mostly.
Um, it's it's incredible game. You know, the origins off Australian rules. Football, I believe, comes from a traditional game that Aboriginal people play called man group. And this game was played between, um indigenous clan and that clan would be split up into its kinship groups and most kinship groups would play against each other. And sometimes you would have 50 on each team
dwelling on the coast living and the other is up in the mountains, up in the rocks. So for May being defined as aboriginal indigenous, I'm not too worried because I know who I am. I know where I come from, a being reconnected to my people in the last 10 years. But up until that point, I only knew that I waas an Aboriginal man. I knew where we came from, but I didn't
So in Australia we had a government policy that allowed the police to go into indigenous communities and forcefully removed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children. Um, that looked not as black as everyone. So mixed race kids and rip them out of those homes. Put them into, uh, white foster homes to raise them as white
that, you know, I gotta I gotta educate myself. So I enrolled in the your A tape, which is an indigenous college here in in Sydney. And, you know, I did a diploma and aboriginal studies, and that really helped me understand, you know, the not only the last 220 odd years since colonization, but you know, the thousands of years of history and culture that that that has come before that. What? Just a detail from my
make a global understanding of what this search is, and the description that you just experience explained about the the treatment of aboriginal people at the hands of white Australians.

Can you hear an Indian running 50 yards away? Can you hear an aboriginal hunter-gatherer running 50 yards away? No, because they wouldn't be hunting if you could hear them.
Why was it not instead the case that Native Americans expanded and occupied the Old World? Or why didn't Aboriginal Australians, why were not they, or why weren't Africans the ones to expand over the world? That really is the biggest question of human history.
male in audience: Yeah, they're aboriginal dot paintings. Sanjayan: They're aboriginal dot painting. There're called song lines and that's exactly right. So the aboriginal people had this great way of interpretat--interpreting the--the world they see around them. And then they put it up in abstract art like this. Now to us it
Sanjayan: They're aboriginal dot painting. There're called song lines and that's exactly right. So the aboriginal people had this great way of interpretat--interpreting the--the world they see around them. And then they put it up in abstract art like this. Now to us it looks like art, but to them it had symbol and meaning. And it's not just a map through space it's also a map through time.
Now they're struggling to catch fish or hunt, but they find they're able to possibly survive, and things are looking hopeful because they get gifts of fish from the local aboriginals , the Yandruwandha tribe. And when they're in a Yandruwandha camp, they noticed them making nardoo cakes.
We're saying there's a pattern here where people of color don't get to live as long or aren't as safe in certain circumstances, And that replaced the terminology Indian and Aboriginal .
This show for Microsoft was just pouring everything into it. We had actual instruments-- like the aboriginal ancient instrument of the didgeridoo, a drum kit, a guitar-- but we also had the EEG device and the heartbeat sensor all playing together. The different signals were being sent from the instruments into these plates of sand and water that would create these geometric shapes
So some of these round circles for example mean water holes. That's the simple explanation. But it would take an aboriginal person who understands these song lines to really interpret them for you. It's the original version of Google Earth, if you like.

Now when the British first arrived in Australia, they saw people that looked strange, had a simple material technology. But what really offended the British is that the Aboriginal people had no interest in improving on their material lot. And since optimism progress through time was the ethos of European society, the British, in their inimitable way, concluded the Aboriginal people weren't human.
know how well connected there. So in the last 10 years, I've gone on my own very personal journey into my own identity and my family's identity and connection to our aboriginal ancestry Relative to that, clearly you're famous. So it was easy for me to read quite a bit about you on one of those facts that I gathered is that your mother, if I'm not

But the government policy waas Well, we could actually breed out that indigenous in these people if we grab the Children that honest black as the original Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Changing our constitution here in Australia. Uh, here in Australia, there is no reference in our founding document to indigenous people. Aboriginal Torres, Strait Islanders. Still, to this day, there is no, uh, no information whatsoever about who was here in the country before we were founded. Andi, that's embarrassing. Um,
Right. Because it's just too damn much to show you all of New York in one day, right? There's an old story told about bringing an aboriginal from Australia in the 19th century to London.
Long ago, I was in Australia, and I was sitting with a shaman. He was a very old, aboriginal shaman. I don't know what is the precise term-- the village elder, the wise ones, you know, the one who have that big beard, sitting next to the fire,
And she said, well, a group of us that work with Aborigines are having dinner at a friend's house. Would you like to come and meet some other people involved in the aboriginal community and movement?

Yeah, really good question. So indigenous is an inclusive, um, word to include Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. As one category of indigenous people to Australia, Aboriginal is a new indigenous person to the land of Australia.

But there's a lot of talk at the moment, and a lot of Aboriginal people leading this discussion that they don't want to be referred to indigenous and you know, they want to be referred as aboriginal or exactly where their tribal family and ancestry comes from. So, for me, you know, if you look at the map of Australia before we were colonized. It looks a lot like a map of Europe with lots of different countries.
being defined as aboriginal indigenous, I'm not too worried because I know who I am. I know where I come from, a being reconnected to my people in the last 10 years. But up until that point, I only knew that I waas an Aboriginal man. I knew where we came from, but I didn't know how well connected there.

the thousands of years of history and culture that that that has come before that. What? Just a detail from my curiosity. I don't understand the word itself. Like aboriginal abstain, abscond. The ab prefix implies something bad. So aboriginal . What does that come from?
indigenous people of color, uh, and Europeans in the colonial enterprise in their time. So first I wonder if you have a sense that indigenous people, aboriginal people in Australia feel connected to this much broader, um, social infrastructure around the world. We definitely do onboard.

So these paintings are found all over Australia and very recently we started a project in Australia. We started our program there. And our Program Manager who's Australian went out there and he was talking to some aboriginal people and he said, "Well I'm here and I'm here one of the things the Nature Conservancy does we help you map your environment. We help you place nature within context of your lives. We call it the habitat assessment."
does we help you map your environment. We help you place nature within context of your lives. We call it the habitat assessment." So he said, "We're here to do this habitat assessment," and these aboriginal people kinda looked at him kinda funny and said, "Well, you're a little late because we sort of already have it." And he pointed up to the wall.
We're saying there's a pattern here where people of color don't get to live as long or aren't as safe in certain circumstances, And so I ended up saving all the questions, like, is it Indian, Native American, Aboriginal , Indigenous, First Nation person or what?
But what really offended the British is that the Aboriginal people had no interest in improving on their material lot. And since optimism progress through time was the ethos of European society, the British, in their inimitable way, concluded the Aboriginal people weren't human. As recently as 1902 in the lifetime of my grandfather, it was debated in parliament in Melbourne as to whether or not Aboriginal people were human or not.
