Larissa Behrendt - Environmental Sustainability: what we can learn from Aboriginal Culture

[jxxxjppp]

im sure shes a nice person,and certainly extremely articulate but most of her ancestry and heritage is white european! she has a german father and racially mixed mother.i dont begrudge her her right to call herself "aboriginal"but shes hardly indigenous.

[thejuicemedia]

@jxxxjppp consider that it is now generally agreed that there is no biological evidence for 'race'. terms such as 'racially mixed' do not make any sense (other than to those who actually believe in the fiction of race - often called 'racists'). everyone is "Indigenous:" Unless you came from outer space, you simply cannot fail to be indigenous in relation to some part of this planet. People who identify as Aboriginal are indigenous to Australia. If you are one you are also the other.

Larissa you are a superb speaker with the credentials to back up your words. I have seen only two of your presentations and both just blow me away. Sterling speech and so very true. More please.

[coit7]

As a white Australian, I would LOVE to see aboriginal culture the central culture in this country, a resource based economy and let us learn and all return to our roots...Mother Earth, as Uncle Bob Randell says Love to all, peace brothers/sisters.

@cout7 - Your a good Australian & Indigenous people will need your assistance if we are to see change (as we always have).There is a lot of good in white Australians cout7 & Indigneous people see that goodness.But we also see that too many good Australians are willing to remain quite or sit on the fence. "all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men/women do nothing. Do not allow evil to triumph. Do not sit by and do nothing. (Edmund Burke)

[casting4325]

@coit7 - Every Australian should have a totem at birth, black,brown or white.That way they are connected to the land & environment.

Very good presentation Larissa!

Thanks GoodHeart Sister for shareing this,how Indiginous people are healthy and happy until they become effected by the one dimensional view of self rejection by some.The complex natural ways have no seperation of self,self sustaining with this wisdom of respecting the Earth and all the beautiful ways of life.Its a truth that healthy people equal the healthy way of the land and how its treated,so many have had this choice taken away.

Thanks for your good work!

This was a good Video

I find it hard to trust anyone who is a bar member and a officer of the "CROWN" , not to mention the LAW SOCIETY . Why doesnt she tell it like it is , that the queen her heirs and successors past and present governments including UK parlament are openly genociding the black fella who are true SOVEREIGNS and OWNERS of this land they call Australia . Their seems to be many highly paid leaders black and white that dance around the real issue while accepting their grossly inflated pay checks .

[stoptheshearing]

I recently travelled to NT and got pulled over twice past threeways , I was asked if I was carrying any alcohol ? I asked the copper why and he replied because we dont want you selling it to the black fellas ! When I stopped at a drive through in Darwin I was asked for my licence for identification . My point is the intervention law is aimed at EVERYONE . We dont want sustainability UN style , we need the old natural laws, COMMON LAW.

[lollythunderclould]

Thank you for sharing this great video Lilah.

[allcingeye]

We need oil free power now not tomorrow The Rothchilds and big banking oil families are Giving us EU Carbon conn Tax Humans Need Flux motors water h2o power zero point Energy, So make sure You know who have been stopping the human race from having Clean Air.

[IdaSputum]

SERIOUSLY needed. The people who KNOW how to LIVE in central Aus are ABORIGINALS and they've been pushed out, shat on and alientated in their own country.

ITS the STUPIDEST SICKEST thing I ever saw.

Aborigines have ALL THE ANSWERS to SUSTAINABILTY - they are PRECIOUS TEACHERS and guardians of LAND - So SHUT UP and LISTEN to them, LEARN from them RESPECT THEM before its too late and YOU WESTENERS decimate ABORIGINAL culture entirely and end up DESSICATED, fried yourselves.

[flyhead2]

I agree with everything she says apart from AGW. The Climate Change politicians are Western Imperialists in a new guise.

[TheosChannel1]

This was already evident in many aboriginal cultures but is still not recognized by the arrogance of western cultures.

@ bigc028282 & silverbeatful: while you two are busy bickering about whether "climate change" exists, many acres of rainforests are disappearing, which makes you part of the problem. Also, this video speaks of equality for women in aboriginal culture. Something that evidently seemed to have escaped your attention here.

[ddchalmers]

I hope Larissa Behrendt can help things go forward. Another eventually got so owned by the Melbourne University's law faculty + their precious pretentious agenda that she got lost along the way. But she is still only a legalist..... in a white mans' system, uhh.

The old order of exploitation of both humanity + the environment must give way to global co-operation, NOT 'global governance' manipulated callously by those who seek power. Tat includes the rights + roles of WOMEN in society.....

[ddchalmers]

U dun really know tat indigenous ppl have been here for 30-50,000 years. They might have always been here. Its so ironic tat the culture is still being obliterated by a self-righteous white 'settler society' which is itself failing

FREEDOM for all of mankind is something worth struggling for. Ppl in this country dun realize how easy they have things - except for the First Nation oppressed minority. Tat's a lesson for all becoz its our white 'allies' who will eventually imprison us + enslave us

[ApexBeats]

Well, unfortunatly the Geneva gathering has done fuck all in the fight to force our countries into being greener, what a surprise...

[drnorris56]

i agree 100%

[apachesbutterfly]

Very interesting, I couldn't agree more.

[bigc028282]

You mean like the UN AGENDA21?

"CLIMATE GATE" is hijacked environmentalism, and anyone using the term "climate change" is a f*cking shill, or worse AN IDIOT. It's an IMF/UM SCAM, and now the developing countries are aware of the "Dutch texts". If that, and the EMAILS don't do it for you, talk to a programmer about the "models" used in the programs used by the SHILL "scientists". Read the 300pages added to C&T, AT 3AM IT'S OVER, and next will be charges of TREASON.

[gullette777]

AMEN brother.

[silverbeatful]

oh stfu already you tools... have you nothing else to say. how about you actually try to learn something instead of always shouting everyone else down. just coz you watched 'Zeigeist' you rekn you know how everything works... LOL

[bigc028282]

That's funny! Which one are you?

I gave a list, and obviously have enough common sense to understand that "carbon credits", that don't clean anything up, but give corporations a buy out, are not the answer.

The Royal Dutch Family owns SHELL OIL, are owners in the IMF. AND PRIVATE FED RESERVE. The IMF gets the "carbon tax" money. SHELL just won the bid for the worlds largest hydro carbon deposit. IRAQ.

As for Zeitgeist: BILL CLINTON loves that sh!t. That should tell you something. IDIOT!
