Smoking Ceremony

Uncle Max Harrison, Yuin Elder and Dean Kelly, Yuin man, talk about the meaning and significance of a Smoking Ceremony. The traditional cleansing ritual involves burning native plants and leaves to produce smoke to ward off bad spirits, acknowledge ancestors and pay respect to the land and sea of country.

Interesting video. I think its so inportant for us to know about Autralia's Indigenous. Being the oldest still living civilization in the world, we should be hearing and learning this in school before learning the history of anywhere else. We should be proud of our Indigenous people. Thankyou for showing us this clip

Awesome attitude the Elder has and it's probably the most peaceful way I've heard Australia Day being spoken by an Indigenous Elder.

Normal people would be upwind. Maybe Ernie Dingo invented an ingenious way to keep the flies out of their eyes and mouth.

[@warrendargusch5873]

Yeah! Just ask Ernie!

[@tomanypeople9388]

Very interesting ceremony, I'd love to take part in one sometime, seems very peaceful. Anyone in South Brizzy know who would be good to contact? Which mobs might let an outsider take part in ceremony?

[@hulkgqnissanpatrol6121]

Same as the burnoffs of our land.

[@mastermind2.0]

you shouldn't smoke its bad for your lungs

[@robertking3130]

It looked like a match was used to light the fire, very traditional.

based entirely on superstition, it should be noted. and what about the matter of air pollution and climate change...
