[1] We can help children in aboriginal communities by addressing situations like in the below link. If the police wont act charge or sack the police involved:

[2] What form can a treat take? To be true to tradition both parties make peace with the land and totem aninals, with nothing to do with money. Aid, however, need to be given to the poorer people in our society, aboriginal and others too. The first address ingineous culture and the latter all underclasses.

As with all primitive cultures, those who wish to preserve them want to pick and choose which parts of the culture should be preserved. For instance people like the idea of nomadic aboriginals wandering around the country, but if their culture included female genital mutilation like some cultures have in the past, they would stamp that part out.

It's stupid to try to maintain an ancient culture and protect it from the realities of the modern world. People do it though, so the tourists can say how quaint and fascinating those poor people are, it would be a shame to expose them to the riches of western civilisation.

Over two nation-states must face the twenty-first century and globalisation. It is here. It is fact. White Australia has had to change generationally. Read Hugh Mackay.

We can still respect "past traditions" and Australia is wealth enough to help all its poor.

Stephen Hagan,

If you are reading this post: What is your background in culural-anthropology? You appear to an academic background in business studies. Although, being of Scotish descent, I could not speak authoratively, on Celtic Lore, just because I several degrees in other disciplines. My only connection is a bloodline.

After reading this post, I am still trying to understand. What laws Haralambos believes is a lie by his statement. "White man's law reigns. Yet it does so illegally." Please identify what laws you believe give true justice and are superior to our present system of justice?

State the code of law that is not based in lies and injustice!

Haralambos.. a treaty will not really do much.

It will simply confirm in writing the status quo.
Treaties are made between victors and their defeated victims. Or.. they can be made between people who fear they may become a victim....

In any case, while you are on the treaty thing, you may wish to also campaign for a treaty between the English and my Scottish forbears, over the land they dispossessed us of.... (Like Oliver, who's ancestors had the same experience)

Rather than have a treaty and maintain separateness.. why not simply consider yourselves 'Austalian' and adjust to the new reality of life.

You don't by any chance consider Aboriginal culture 'superior' to European culture do you ? :) because that would be a very 'racist' thing to feel.

I don't consider our culture 'superior' but in this day and age it sure is the only viable one. Still, we can and should learn much from Indigenous culture, and absorb the good..and reject the bad.

How about it? be an 'Aussie' (irrespective of ethnicity)
