Like some I do not read ALTRAVES posts
Like other some times you see a quick glimpse of something and just read it
BLACKS I am offended by the use of that word
Not reporting it, but know a few offensive names for Italian migrants, too know using them would be just lowering myself to his/her standards

Belly,
I suggest you learn some indigenous language so you can understand the names they call us !

Foxy -

'I was discussing the revival of native ingredients
as cultivated by Aboriginal people and of thinking
differently about the future of farming in Australia
and the recovery of our traditional food plants.'

I am aware of Pascoe encouraging some to start trying to grow some grasses.
Also in my link.
I dispute the aborigines 'cultivated' the grasses - there was no need.
Other berries and seeds have always been available and used as condiments in our coooking eg wattle seed.
They are available on my supermarket shelf.
Little protein and food value in the indigenous grasses - indeed Mitchell grass in NT would give the cattle a jolly good belly ache.

Thank you Altrav - yes - back on track please.

"It does not mean they are a 'stand out' race from the thousands who came before them, so let's focus on the real history and stop 'cherry picking' bits that help bolster a particular agenda or dogma."

Again Altrav thank you for reasoned debate.
I am not engaging with Steele as he/she has no debating or discussion skills.
"SR,

Anyone ever called you an arrogant pr#$k?
How would you know if anyone does or doesn't burn lands to flush out animals, when I know of it personally and witnessed it, before these green morons came along.
You know very well the practice of burning was carried out, so stop pushing your know-it-all attitude onto others.
So, you are a wannabee.
Now you listen to me, through the centuries we have had in-calculable numbers of people and races moving throughout the world."

Joe - me too - outta here.
Thanks for your knowledgabe input.
I keep on learning.
Fascinating stuff when people are prepared to share and dialogue in a friendly manner.

"Burning the bush is not farming. Collecting is not farming. It's also called gathering. Hunters and gatherers hunted and gathered. All of our ancestors did the same.

This is just too ridiculous. See you later."
