hey homie check out the movies:
Rabbit Proof Fence (scenes from that youtube clip taken from that movie)
and
10 Canoes (absolutely awesome movie, like Apocalypto but even more indigenous focused).
Things have been getting slowly better for the Aboriginals over this last 12 months...we got a military intervention in the Northern Territory thats seems to be doing alot of good and our new government was elected which is going to officially apologise to the Stolen Generation, something thats long overdue...
-
...the main concern for the Howard government was the resulting litigation that could follow if the government said sorry for the stolen generation, but I think its time we at least had a symbolic gesture of 'sorry', shouldnt be that hard. Asutralia was very different back then, but Im still sorry that it happened.

if you look at history, white eurpoeans have traditionally fucked over indigenous populations of the world. its sad, cus these people were like the last tribes still kinda living in a state of eden...now they gone and we on the internet.

yeah, man it truly is sad. even though some people would consider them 'primitive' (which is not true); we could learn so much things from them.
