In an extraordinary discovery, excavations from a cave in Gippsland, Victoria unearthed two fireplaces and burnt, fat-smeared sticks, dated to 11,000 to 12,000 years old. The fireplaces and sticks, which are the oldest-known wooden artefacts found in Australia, suggest a ritual was passed down virtually unchanged through around 500 generations of GunaiKurnai people. Traditional owners and researchers plan to excavate other sites in the area, including one with a ceiling of finger-etched markings. "Such insights are part of a broader story about our people, our belief systems, our traditions, and it's important to share that......It's all about experience from the deep past, to the present, and into the future." Study co-author Russell Mullett, from the GunaiKurnai Land and Waters Aboriginal Corporation.

Forest Villages represent an exploitative arrangement made by India’s colonial rulers to ensure a cheap supply of labour for timber extraction. How did Forest Villages come to be established? And how do they continue to represent perhaps the gravest form of historical injustice? This video answers these questions, and goes on to discuss the special provisions in the FRA to resolve the question of Forest Villages. https://lnkd.in/dbxHDtGY To aid the locals to claim their Community Forest Rights, ATREE put together four short videos in Hindi on the Forest Rights Act, this video is part 3. #ForestRightsAct #FRA #indigenouspeople #tribal #ForestDwellers #Adivasi #adivasi #forest #JalJangalJameen #tenurerights #landrights

Pastoralists have a saying. For a person to gain knowledge they need to be part of nature. You cannot be part of nature if all the knowledge you gain is confined to the 4 walls of a classroom and you have been taught by an Expert who gained their knowledge from the same 4 walls. PASTORALISTS understand that uncertainty is built into nature's regenerative model and key to their survival.  Uncertainty can only be lived, it cannot be taught or learnt, thus there can be no uncertainty experts. Only ELDERS with WISDOM.  PASTERS continue to produce science that challenges conventional thinking, yet PASTORALISTES EXPERTS continue to be feted (https://lnkd.in/dfUXhw4M)  400-500 EXPERTS, but not a single PASTORALIST ELDER.  Surely it is obvious after 7 decades of failed development across Africa’s ASALs that It is not pastoralists who need to be taught to ADAPT!
