G'day Folks! For all potential visitors to Australia or those just interested in its origins and 65,000 years of indigenous culture, comes this essential new book by well respected Aboriginal elder, Professor Marcia Langton, titled "Welcome to Country".

In my words ..... Do people of the world actually realize they are visiting a country stolen from it's first inhabitant custodians/traditional owners? That there is no meaningful Constitutional recognition or representation for them? That there is no Treaty? That even of this date, there is no Truth Telling? That Terra-Nullius is a lie?

"Professor Langton says over the past four decades she has noticed a growing curiosity among non-Indigenous Australians towards the country's pre-European past and its Aboriginal heritage.
But, she says, that past is full of trauma for many Indigenous people."
For further "Truth Telling" see: Dark Emu -The Terra Nullius lie. 65000+yrs Aboriginal Civilization - Ecological Proof https://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=364276
"Rachel Bin Salleh, publisher at Magabala Books in Western Australia, says Professor Langton's book follows on from "classics" like the Little Red Yellow Black Book by Bruce Pascoe, a pocket-sized introduction to Aboriginal history and culture.
But she says Welcome to Country could introduce many more people to Australia's history and culture, because of its broad appeal to the travel market."
"This resource, so beautifully packaged, will encourage the start of two-way learning as well as the consideration of Indigenous enterprise as a first priority."
.... "so much of Welcome to Country is about looking to the present, and celebrating Aboriginal businesses and enterprises that many travellers miss or take for granted."

In this largely unsustainable world, there is much ancient, timeless, wisdom to learn from the best of Indigenous Aboriginal Culture, and the wonderful progressive things the younger generations are doing today :t:
For all BF members visiting our lovely country - If there is somewhere that you visit, something you experience, or learn, based on the book - please feel free to post it here, and your comments for fellow travellers - Thank you :t:
