  • Despite what you may see on television, the true survival experts of the world are the 300 million indigenous peoples currently living in close connection to their ancestral lands. To learn from them is to learn from the true masters.
    The Yolngu Australian Aboriginal people of Mäpuru are living with dignity on their ancestral homelands, and have an unbroken connection to their culture and country- spanning over 60,000 years.
    This video shows some highlights of a recent trip where I was able to learn from, and travel with the Yolngu people of Northern Australia thanks to old friends at www.naturephilosophy.com/.
    Just a few times every year the community invites small groups onto their country - to share in their lives, their wisdom and learn traditional earth skills. This is for the benefit of their children and all future generations.
    To learn more about this Community Development Program check out my good friend's website at
    www.naturephilosophy.com.au

    Aboriginals have a connection to this land that nobody outside can understand fully.they are amazing survivalists and environmentalists.they have so much knowledge and history passed down from ancestors through dance and tales..such a rich heritage.

    Fascinating, I wish there was more video of indigenous lifeways around - could even be a source of outside income and good PR for otherwise poor and little understood cultures. These guys remind me of videos of thru-hikers I've seen - that sense of cheerfulness and communal effort. Very cool.

      Yes, the woman's trip was what started the whole idea....but generally, in aboriginal culture, the men and women do different things so I wasnt part of seeing all the things the women did. They spent a lot of time gathering and processing amazing basket making material. To check that out go to Nature Philosophies website. Thanks for watching.
