Dark Emu
In this book, he tries to convey a wealth of information about Australia’s indigenous population before white settlement with which many readers will be unfamiliar. The evidence insists that Aboriginal people right across the continent were using domesticated plants, sowing, harvesting, irrigating and storing – …

He suggests that letters and journal entries attributed to the first explorers from 1770 onwards prove this. My advice if you are genuinely interested in the truth on this subject is to read the primary sources Bruce uses, but also to read the multitude of other sources on Aboriginal culture, bush food & land management practices; many written by Aboriginal people living traditionally today. We can learn much from Aboriginal ways of managing land & eating sustainably. Did they yard up the wombats?
He says fish traps are aquaculture which is just silly. Our children’s mental well-being, and our society’s cohesiveness between Aboriginal people and other Australians, is far too important to be left to teachers trying to indoctrinate our schools with this false re-writing of our Australian history. For example Bruce puts a photo of a Meriam Island House (Torres Strait) in his section on Arnhem Land 'dome houses'. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read.

Pascoe's innovative approach combines archaeological evidence from contemporary fieldwork with meticulously researched archival accounts of the earliest white colonisers, whose observations of the local peoples they encountered reveal much more now than they did to 18th- and 19th-century white society.A rather important, worthwhile read for all Australians.
“colonial settlers ignored the Aboriginal method, and that contemporary Australians still suffer from the result.

Bruce Pascoe was born of Bunurong and Tasmanian Aboriginal heritage in the Melbourne suburb of Richmond and graduated from the University of Melbourne with a Bachelor of Education.

Perhaps the rapper - who later became the first artist since the Beatles 50 years ago to hold the top two spots on the American Billboard Hot 100 chart with their first hits - should read this book. Almost all the evidence comes from the records and diaries of the Australian explorers, impeccable sources.The book is persuasive rather than informative, and at times inaccurate. He also quotes from Mitchell, Sturt, and Dawson very selectively, leaving out all the parts that contradict his argument.
