- This was/is heartbreaking. As I said in the video. "This is not a song, this is a history lesson".
Archie Roach sang his peoples history, and by that also every other indigenous peoples song. It has been the same all over the world and it hurts just as much everywhere.

Hi from Australia,Thank you for your beautiful words about our First Nations people I'm a white Australian and love our first people also Archie Roach does a great song with Jimmy Barnes ( We could be gone). brilliant. Thank you for doing this for me the world should know about our First Nations people.
Absolutely
The stolen generations didn’t just have black mothers. They had white mothers too. Very sad. I grieve for my people not for myself 🖤💛❤️
I respectfully ask that you stop referring to people as property.
We are not your First Nation's People. Your dog is yours, your cat is yours, people are not pets, you do not own people.
@@veryindigenousperson9497 I never said I did, with attitude like this there will never be peace how many times do we need to apologise for something we never did to you it happened 100s of years ago. I'm over it don't connect me again.
@@katem58785 True colours shine through with you people, don't they.
We are not your First Nation's People Kate, get over it.
Archie had the most beautiful warm but robust voice. Deeply missed.
Such an important person in Australian history.
Archie's cultural input will always be remembered.
Very sad to hear he has passed away.
RIP mate
Uncle Archie you're loved and missed. A beautiful man. Xx
By accident I came across your channel. I had put in the search box, reactions to Archie Roach. I am in tears of both sorrow and joy in response to your reaction. Im also Aboriginal - First Nation and related to Archie although extended. I use to sing in a band called Djaambi and Archie and Ruby were our support during times of patrons going to the bar. That was decades ago and it is no surprise that Archie has become a National Treasure in Australia. His song writing and singing is both genuis and compassionate. In fact they are both exceptional writers in their own right. Like Archie I too am Stolen Gen, as its policies extended in Victoria up until 1970. I was born in 1966. I am not whole by any means. Neither is any of my siblings, and Parents. They are now deceased. My father died at 38 from a broken heart, in my opinion. No Fixed Abode was the reason. No fixed home despite the fact we were shunned from rentals, paid less and not welcomed in their neighborhoods. My parents worked in manual labour, both of them and we all travelled with the work. Instead of supporting my family they tore us apart. Irrevocably. You can never mend what is torn and fragmented. its only pieces that come back, never the whole and never what should have been, We were abused in the homes and foster care. I was 2 when taken. Oh and yes the State Govt has recently acknowledged the profound impacts of their prior policies and is granting each of us - now only 1,200 individuals, a form of compensation to the tune of $100,000 each. What am I to do with that. Pay for more counselling I suppose. Anyway this is too long. Thank you for your deep insights and compassion. Keep well my brother. Wurruk, from Gunditjmara country. : )
My dear Charki. What can I say? I am impressed with you, your realtives and the entire First Nation peoples unbelivable strength. You where reduced to nothing by a paper but managed to survive and keep your culture alive for hundreds of years. No compensation can justify what you as a people and single humans have gone through. All nations First People have had it the same way all over the world... It's a total shame and some places this still happends today.
I am honoured to have read parts of your life story and all i can offer is a HUGE hug from me. Words on the street is that I have the best hugs around, so hopefully it can give you a spark to brighten up life a little bit 💕
Stay strong and honor your roots so the coming generations learns your history. You too keep well my Brother. Diddy, from Bergen Norway 💕
@@didymalgia Charki in Gundijtmara language means Big Sister. Strong Female Sibling. I am now a Female Elder of my people and work on Australia's first Treaty in the state of Victoria. The First Peoples Assembly. I have done many things in my life working towards justice and peace for First Nations for over 35 years. Your deep compassion moved me my brother. I admire and respect that in any human. Keep up the great work of your channel. I have subscribed as well. In closing Im also a writer not of songs like Archie but stories and poetry. I had this poem called Songs of the Bones, animated as part of my exhibition in my home town. It forms part of the work in Victoria of Truth Telling and eventually healing for us all. vimeo.com/724577156/a366d8ca48
@@didymalgia such a respectful reply!! I can see u "get it" Possibly more than many Aussies who just expect us 2 "just get over it, the past is the past" without any idea of Tansgenerational Trauma & how it can affect families. Not to mention the general entenched racism.
Also worth noting that most Stolen Generations have not reunited with family. Yes it happens but quite often the connections can't b mended 4 various reasons (my fam just 1 example) We didn't just lose family connections but culture & language. Good luck with ur channel, I may b a little late 2 the party but you've got me in, I've subscribed 🖤💛❤
Just wanted 2 thank u 4 ur post. U summed up things so well & I can relate completely (only it was my dad stolen, not me)🖤💛❤
charki our people will never forget but we will survive and be reunited in the dreamtime rest assured you will find your family and all those we were taken from will be there waiting for us with open arms it is only a short time we will be apart from our ancestors then we will spend eternity in their embrace and they in ours
All of his songs came from the bottom of his heart he was a really beautiful story teller
Sadly we lost this great man a few days ago 😔 such a great man
💔🕊️
Rip. Uncle Archie
🖤💛💔👣
I just can't hear this song without feeling pain in my heart.

Hi my name is Warrick Miller-Japangardi I'm Aboriginal first nation people from here Australia I was 11:53 takein away when I was 2 year old now I'm 36 years old this massage is true?

You're absolutely correct Suzanna
Thank you brother 🖤💛❤️😢🙇🏾♀️🥺
Thank you for your kind words, your feelings and thoughts felt on this video.
I'm an aboriginal from Australia and appreciate the love you had for One of our Many loved & missed Elder/Leader/Icons Uncle Archie Roach 🖤💛❤️
Thank you again
Lots of love to you my Sister 💖💖💖
It's Oct 8 2022 thanks for sharing the information about Archie Roach.From Kansas City, Kansas
R.I.P. our brother Archie Roach he lived with my family when he got out of the foster family looking for his family. I remember this like yesterday because it was the same time my great grand Ma found her five stolen children❤️💔🥹😭
Just proved once again why your Chanel will succeed ❤️ you are an emotional soul with empathy for all❤️you are right it is not so much a song put a history lesson 🇦🇺 Thankyou Didy👌 keep doing you❤️
Thankyou for your heartfelt reaction. Reconcilliation in Australia is a work in progress. another amazing first nation siger you might want to check out. he mainly sings in laungauge but the the message transcends langauge ...gurumal yunupingu
Thank you Carolyn. I have already seen Gurumal in the recommended section so he is on my list for later reactions 💕
True thanks. RIP uncle
Fly high in the Dreamtime
Uncle Archie 🕊️🪃
🖤💛💔👣
❤❤❤
Beautiful reaction Didy, many children never came back (please watch Rabbit Proof Fence) they all came under various state Acts which meant control over the people. No wages, asking for permission to move or marry. 🤷🏽♀️ very fresh still, there are people still alive who lived through massacres of their tribes.
Love your thoughts and good will.
💕💕
rest in the dreaming unk archie enjoy your reuniting with the ancestors its a hard day the day you went away but also a happy day knowing your with all the people that love you
Excellent song writer. And very young in this clip.
Thank you for your heartfelt and sincere reaction.
Unlike you, there are many others who are not prepared to face history and acknowledge the injustices done to indigenous people.
💕💕
R.I.P uncle Archie 😢
Much respect & luv 2 u for this reaction... I'm an Aboriginal woman from Perth Western Australia and my people are the Noongah people of the South West region of WA...❤
Lots of love back to You my Sister 💖💖
I felt completely demolished after first seeing this video unexpectedly on a very late night television show about 1990. An amazingly powerful man
I lived in the desert late 80s to 2000s on an off with our beautiful First Nations People. We would sit together in harmony and listen to Archie Roach. Little did I know in the early 2000s did I know that the Govt would steal my child too. You would wake up in the middle of the night crying for years. This song saved me, I could relate to it on a profoundly deep level. I played it many times over the years. Until your child has been stolen, you can never understand the sorrow, grief and despair. I have just listened again to this song and it is so special. Thankyou Archie, Thankyou for being my saviour.
I can only send you a big hug, and hope you have found some peace within your self and that you still have good supporting friends around you. I also hope that you have been reconnected with your child to. 💖💖
Hi from Australia, Kate here I have another first nations band Yothu Hindi ( Treaty ) not so sad ,I you enjoy this one.thanks for playing my request
Added!💕
@@didymalgia I hope u do (or did) the remixed version. It's a bit of a crossover song with a rock style but with a deadly dance beat which opened it up, appealing 2 a different audience. It was a real breakthrough song, an aboriginal band signing in Language (some of it anyway)was unheard of 2 most Aussies.
@katem58785 "I have" = ownership.
You don't own Indigenous people, Kate.
Rip Archie roach
Sadly, Archie Roach, who was affectionately and respectfully referred to as Uncle Archie, passed away on 30 July 2022. Australia and the world has lost a cherished story teller and elder.
Beautiful reaction - thoughtful and insightful 🖤💛♥️. Left me thinking a lot about history and what must be learnt.
Enjoying hearing what you say with each reaction.
Glad you enjoyed it 💕
Thank you
It's about all the children of the world .
Thank you for understanding the meaning of the song 🎵 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
❤️
Thanks for your sensitivity
Hi Didy. Sadly, Archie Roach passed away yesterday at the age of 66. Rest In Peace.
🖤💛💔🕊️
Such a sad topic delivered beautifully.
Thank you for your respect and sensitivity towards this man and his storytelling. Even in the 70s growing up our parents would hide us kids. If we saw a flash car coming up our driveway we knew it was government and would hide. It took us a very long time to trust any government person. Most still don’t. Rest in the Dreamtime Uncle ❤️💛🖤.
RIP Uncle Archie. 30/07/2022
Totally agree with your 'so true' reactions.Australia up to now still have not made a genuine effort to correct these barbaric acts.
@@tillygolgowsky6771 Thank you.
In 2008 the Australian Government issued a formal apology to indigenous people for the forced removal of children who are referred to as the stolen generation. It’s was issued by then Prime Minister Kevin Rudd.
Although a big step in the healing process it should never be forgotten.
Yet they continue to steal children :(
Thousands of years
Hi my friend, thank you for this reaction and kind words, unfortunately if you did not know, Mr roach unfortunately passed away now, thank you again for this, much respect to your channel
I was really sad when i heard that he passed away. This video was made before His passing, and it was the one song that got me into his world. He was a giant and he kept it going right until the end.
I made video where i commented and paid my respect to Mr. Archie Roach after his passing.

As a First Nations person Thank You for how you introduced this song and information From Australia 💜
You are more than welcome Danielle💖 We can all come closer and live better with some good old respect for life and cultures. Someone has to spread information and it felt naturally for me to do so. History must never be forgotten, but never repeated.
Thank you for your very real reaction. This song always brings me to tears. One of my dearest friends (who had a white father and an indigenous mother) was taken before she was two years old. It was not until her late 30s that she discovered her heritage. She discovered where she came from and returned to the community. Without a word of a lie, she walked in unannounced and one of the elder woman walked up to her and said: "We've been waiting for you to come back." You are correct, it was not the children who came back, but the adults return. She has become very active in bridging between the two worlds she is belongs to and was part of the Victorian delegation who attended the meeting at Uluru that produced the 'Statement from the Heart' which is the Indigenous folks call for understanding, reconciliation and a Treaty.
Check out Yothu Yindi - 'Treaty' brilliant song.
Hi, Kate here wow your reaction just more then I expected thank you beautiful man, the sadest thing is we're ( government and some white people)still not treating them well it's disgusting give a me the first nation people any day over a white man any day and your right it should be in schools but not much, I also I have Danish great grandparents.
Not only those affected by the "wrong doings" should stand up and fight, all us around them that see the insanity of the way they are treated should stand up an join them.
Information is the solution.
Thank you for guiding me to Archie Kate 💕
@katem58785 kind of like your comment to me when I respectfully asked that you stop referring to Indigenous people as "your First Nation's People".
Bit of a hypocrite aren't you Kate.
Thank you for sharing this and your kind words my nan and grandma both escaped the mission and my grand five children were taken away❤️💔🥹😭
I am really sorry to hear that your family was ripped apart. Sadly no one can undo the harm that was done in the past, we can only learn from all the wrong doings that have happend through many life times. I hope that everyone one day will find together again. We need to discover peace, love and happiness again.
I'm sending you a Big Hug from this land of Vikings up here in the North 💖
Thank you Didi your YT channel is much appreciated 💛
It is only been 200 years in Australia of colonisation 2 or 3 generations for my family. We cannot go back we choose to to go forward.
You should really listen to Briggs and Gurrumul "the children came back", the sequel to Archie's Roach's Song
Shalom brother, Achie past on 3 weeks ago.....
🙏🕊️
HI from Australia, I have alot the actist to introduce you too but will go slow,let me know when your ready for another one.bless you Sir
It still happens here, they just call it something eles.
you spoke words
What happened to the First Nations people was appalling and it’s good that people are starting to become so much more aware. I think you’d really enjoy ‘from little things big things grow’ by Paul Kelly.
You get it bunj
It has just been announced that a sculpture will be erected in Victoria of Archie Roach and his beautiful partner Ruby Hunter - both musical and cultural legends
Here is another song by Archie. It is profounding moving and beautiful. Check it out here: ruclips.net/video/YicAAbx757U/видео.html
Uncle Archie has passed away sadly
💖💖💖
Archie has now left us and join his wife up In heaven.
But there's another song I'd like you to play on your channel, it's called, "My Brown Skin Baby".
I grew up under white Australian policy we heard the black car we would hide.
You should play Freedom Ride an Archie wrote Munjana now that's a gut song
G'day Didy
Was wondering if you know of Pussycat :
Their songs 🎵 😍
Mississippi
Broken souvenirs
Love their music 🎶 🎵 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
This happened in my family, the mum lost her kids and died of a broken heart, their dad re-married and had more kids, eventually all the kids got together. Somebody else I know was in the stolen generation, got a few thousand in the lawsuit. Should have got more just in withheld wages, but the gov't said no they'd be bankrupted. Not all kids were old enough to know were they were from, they were forbidden to speak their language, taught to be housemaids and stockmen, then sent out to work, only given part of fheir wages, "so they couldn't drink it all." Disgusting idea by the gov't, only stopped in the later years of last century. They had no immunity to white man diseases, a lot died after the first ever meeting.
Thank you so much for sharing your stories Kathleen. These are all things tha tshould have never happend, but it happend to every single first nation people all over the world. It was and still is an atrocity.
My heart would have broken too if my kids had been taken away from me.
It is important to tell the stories so that history doesn not repeat it self so easily.
I'm sending a big hug from me to you Kathleen 💖💖
I am Koori
Unfortunately, it didn't just happen to kids from families with substance abuse problems. They would come into communities and start snatching kids at random as well. While as far as I know, it's never been illegal for a white person to marry an Aboriginal person. But it could be extra heartbreaking if something happened with the white spouse.
That's why three of my second cousins became victims of The Stolen Generation. Mum's cousin married a lovely Aboriginal lady whom she was great friends with. Her cousin was given terrible career advice to divorce his Aboriginal wife, which he followed. There wasn't any custody suite. They came and took her children away from their heartbroken mother. The youngest of those second cousins of mine told me about the state he found his mother was in when he came back to her. She was prematurely grey and dying in a hospital bed. Unfortunately, all three of them have passed away now.
History 🤐🤐🤐 all crap .. what are we teaching Our children...
Got blocked by white politicians
