Foxy, careful love you said that without reference or link to prove it's provenance.
So then what you just said must be one of those rare statements you dream up of your own design, in which case, you shouldn't have bothered.
You only wasted an hour of your time dreaming it up and five seconds of mine reading it.

ALTRAV,

As I said many times previously -
your posts speak for themselves.

Foxy,

While I see some merit in children being exposed to aboriginal history, given that:

1 Much of it is anecdotal,
2 Has little to no application outside of the academic,
3 The education depts being highly political are certain to politicise the course beyond reality.

Foxy,

That ls a really interesting link,
I particularly noted,

"Revealing some of the secrets
No one knows who painted the Gwions. Aboriginal elders of the Kimberley are very cautious with sharing knowledge and say the paintings are "a secret to protect" [4] or that they know nothing about Bradshaw paintings; they were done by “different people to us”. [3]

But that changed in 1992 when senior Ngarinyin law men decided to reveal and document evidence of the origins of their culture so they could secure native title rights for their land. The Pathway Project documented how the first society and "oldest continuous cultural network in the world" was recorded by Gwion Gwion rock art. [5]"

Marvellous what is remembered, after many thousands of years, when big money is involved.

Shadow Minister,

We should all be entitled to take pride in our
cultural identity and that includes our Indigenous
People. I find it rather disturbing at comments
that continue to try to denigrate their achievements.
The archaeological history of the First Australians
is a remarkable story and is worth learning about
this nation's ancient past. It is part of what makes
Australia such a unique country.

But of course that is only my opinion

Is Mise,

Monetary gain?

Well I guess that is something our Indigenous are
beginning to learn. Good for them!

Foxy,

It was mighty convenient, all that pre-history being handed down by word of mouth for thousands of years and the knowledge gained from the paintings, remarkable.

Reminds me of the Hindmarsh Bridge controversy and Secret Women's Business.
