How good are you at throwing a boomerang?

such a stereotypical question!

when was the last time you encountered casual racism?

every bloody Uber... 'where you from?'

yeah you know and I'm just like: 'I'm Aboriginal' - they're like: 'but you don't look Aboriginal'

and then I'm like 'well you didn't look racist till you said that!'

and they're like: 'okay sorry I'm just gonna drive'

why is dancing so important in Indigenous ceremonies? What happens if you're a bad dancer?

Wouldn't know.

dancing is about telling our stories and also passing on our history

so it's very important that as a young person you learn those dances coming through into adulthood

and once you learn them you know them for life.

There's no such thing as a bad dancer. Indigenous ceremonial dance is about the ceremony

it's not a performance so you're not trying to look good for anyone,

you're participating in sacred ceremony so it's not about being good or bad, there's no such thing

yeah, you're doing it to honour the old people your mob, yourself, your family.

it's not really about being a bad dancer

Are you a good dancer? No, I'm not a good dancer

Is it ever okay to ask someone how Aboriginal they are?

I get this all the time

Short answer is no.

can I just answer it flatly straight no it's never okay to ask

somebody how Aboriginal they are. It's quite, it's very offensive to ask that question.

If you look at our history there's a reason why people aren't 100% Aboriginal

and that's really heart-breaking.

it doesn't matter the colour of your skin, or anything like that

I guess that's another stereotype, you have to be black, like dark, to be Aboriginal.

and people don't realise that we lose our skin colour in each generation and things like that

so that's probably one of the ones we cop all of the time, 'how black are you?'

you don't ask somebody how much Anglo-Saxon they are, or how much Irish or how much Welsh

it doesn't even come into consideration

I think there's a lot of people at the University who have asked me that and, yeah

I think they just think it's okay, because it's a matter of curiosity

Absolutely a matter of curiosity and I understand that as well, but to answer this question no.

I think it opens up to you having to justify yourself and justify how much you are

or how much you feel, it's just kind of taking away from who you really are and your identity.

If somebody said to you 'I'm of Aboriginal heritage' pretty much it should be expected

that you just accept that statement.

It's like the coffee, you know, you have your long blacks, you have your flat whites

whatever it's put as much milk in as you want but it's still that coffee.

How good are you at throwing a boomerang?

How good are you? Crap.

Pretty bad.

I won't even try. I can't throw anything, let alone a boomerang.

It's such an art skill.

Such a stereotypical question!

one time I threw it and it came back and hit me in the head

so not that great. And you've got to think about it, they were used as a

hunting tool basically to cause an injury to a lower limb of an animal so

we actually don't have that much of a purpose for them anymore

what do you think about the commercialisation of boomerangs though

anyone can buy one and throw it.

Sorry... I can't walk into an antique store and see

65,000 identical factory-made boomerangs I just, I think that's incredibly wrong.

What is one stereotype that needs to stop? That's hard, there's more than one

There's plenty, petrol sniffing, all blackfellas on the dole, yeah the list goes on.

We get stereotypes all the time. I hear it every day, we had one just yesterday

'you get free stuff from the government.' I wish they paid my

university degree, I still wouldn't have a HECS debt, and I wish they gave me a car like

people think we get cars or free home loans, it keeps going on and on.

All Indigenous people are drunks and that they, you know, live in the bush and they

don't know how to live and they can't live in houses.

We sleep in parks.

Like I sleep in a house.

I've never lived out bush.

The only time I'm sleeping outside is when I'm going bush, going camping and everything.

That's about it.

I think one of the biggest stereotypes, I agree

is that Indigenous people are the lower-rank in society.

Indigenous people can be successful businessmen, academics, anything that they

want to be and I think it's very important for people to recognise

that and to understand that Indigenous people will never just fit into one box

like we make up 3% of the population and we come from all walks of life and

you'll never meet two Indigenous people who are the same and who have the same

sort of mixes of cultural and Western life, it's just never gonna happen.

What do you do on 26 of January?

Yabun Festival.

Yabun.

Yabun means to make music with a beat.

Every year I go to that.

You know that everyone's gonna be there, it's a gathering spot.

but I also go to community and have a yarn with the mob at Redfern

they do a protest march, I don't really do those protests much these days, but it's still

good to talk to the elders about what they've gone through and why they're

doing that march, and I think it educates people as well about what the day means.

Like people think 26 January has always been Australia Day the first Australia Day was in July

so it's crazy that we can't change that date.

And it still brings a lot of sorrow to our people and I think it's something that's

got to be done, something has gotta change.

Obviously, I don't celebrate this date.

I think it's incredibly wrong to celebrate on this date.

I will sit at home watching TV. I mean, it's nothing new, you know?

You'll remember what happened, being Aboriginal and

everything you think back on things like that and just like process it through your mind.

People who march, it's awesome and it's

great that they're willing to stand up for what they think should be changed

and they can, they're happy to show their support that way

I don't march because I don't feel like I should be there but I come to the

after thing so that I can support that way and be seen around.

I had quite a few debates with my friends about this this year, actually.

I don't do anything. I haven't really been to many protests

because I don't think that violence or yelling is the way to resolve things but

at the same time I'm not going to go out and celebrate.

But we should change the date. 100%.

Is it the Dreaming or Dreamtime?

Do all Aboriginal people believe in the same thing? And what's the deal with the snake?

what's the deal with Kinyaha?

Our ancestors, we say, exist in the Dreaming

but these are our Dreamtime stories

the snake collectively in history is the

oldest known religious relic. Cultures all around the world have a connection

to a creation serpent, which is what the Rainbow Serpent is for us

slithering through the land creating the land masses and rivers

No, not all Indigenous people maintain the same beliefs, there are a lot of Christian Indigenous people,

Agnostic, Catholic, Buddhists, my family's Catholic, and that just happens

when you're living in such a multicultural country.

What's the one thing about Indigenous people or culture that others can't seem to understand?

One, I can't pick one.

I could say a lot about this one.

Well, there's a lot but people don't understand, that's why we're here.

I think the most annoying thing for me is the 'what percentage are you?' question.

If there's anything I could ask people to stop asking, it's that.

Friends of mine always talk to me, and I've grown up very middle-class, white Australian

So from 10 years old I went to a school where I was the

only Indigenous child and I went right through high school, and even now as an

older person a big thing that my friends ask me is like 'why don't we know

about these Indigenous things, these Aboriginal stories?' or 'why aren't they

shared' or 'why aren't things marked?' and it's pretty much, you know, because there's

stories in our lives that we don't have to share, because they're our own stories

and it makes the story a little more watered down once we share it with people

because then people share it on, and changes its meaning.

Our connection to the land. We don't own any land, which a lot of people misunderstand

we're with the land, we're one with the land, there's no ownership in our old ways.

Yeah and with that, you get so attached to it, you know

like I come from footy circles and everyone blows up every now and then because

certain people get home sick and want to go home, and they don't understand it

but uh, it's incredibly hard to be taken off the land.

As an example from where I'm from, there's a particular type of fish that you can peel its stomach

out and splay it open and it shows the root system that that fish's eggs were

actually laid on which then has implanted into that animal's lining of

its gut. That is the type of connection and strength that our people have for

the natural environment and that's what I feel like mining companies and these

big entities that want to pillage the land for their own benefit aren't really

understanding and indigenous people around the globe and particularly in

Canada as well, have that understanding that we need to think forward for those

next generations it's not about our needs or our children's needs, we've got to think beyond that.

Our culture's the oldest living one in the world, I mean

and people don't understand how long we've been on this earth, how our stories were

told in the past, what happened to us as well, our culture, we've got no language

back home where I'm from, it's only two hours north of here and there's no language.

And I know that myself and other people in the community are actually trying to bring

that back, and trying to bring our language back. If you look at the

language map, you've probably all seen that, you'll see that out of that there's

not many that are still active. Not sure if you guys speak traditional language up there or anything?

My mother's country is Palm Island, so that was one of the main settlements and

everything, where they sent everybody as punishment you know, and since then culture's been lost.

I'm so inspired by the strength and resilience of such a people

and that's one thing I would love for all of Australia to be able to see

how incredible and rich this culture is.

How do Indigenous relatives work?

Why is everyone a cousin, auntie or uncle? Cause we love each other.

You're an auntie to me.

That's right, exactly, and she has been asked many times 'is she really your auntie?'

because we don't look alike at all.

It's a complex system but basically we're all family.

With Indigenous culture as well, it's not believed that, you know,

your birth mother can give you all the vital tools you need for your

entire life I mean it's not true, so you have kind of like an array all your our

aunties are your mothers as you have this collective of leaders in your life

you really are equipped for the array of things that you do experience throughout your life.

As soon as she met me she said to me 'can I call you auntie?' and I said

'course you can!' I felt so respected that the students call me that and I

know that they can come to me and ask me anything and you know it's not just

school work-related, it's family or whatever you know everything like that

so it's such a nice thing for me to have that respect from the students.

She definitely earns it.

To me, calling someone my auntie or uncle, they don't even

have to be like, you know, Indigenous, I'll still call her my auntie or uncle out of respect.

When was the last time you encountered casual racism? How do you deal with it?

Oh, I get it every day on the bus

I mean Sydney's full of it if you're, yeah, if you're Indigenous.

And if you don't think it is you joking yourself.

We cop it all the time, I'm pretty thick-skinned, I've copped it all my life.

I travel in from the northern beaches and I sit on the bus and I will be the last person that

people will sit next to on the bus, pretty much both ways, that's an hour trip.

I've had people who've had like a broken leg, or are on crutches and

they've decided to stand because they didn't want to sit next to me.

And it actually makes you feel like shit, it makes you feel like you are insignificant.

Got asked yesterday how Aboriginal I am, I guess... that still hurts a lot,

when people want a question who you are based on the colour of your skin.

Racism in Townsville that is like... that's hard being from Townsville, and being my

age cause Townsville is like juvenile delinquency so if you get seen

walking with your like you know with a group of other black people and they

they constantly will keep their eye on you, and just watch every move and everything

and that was actually the last time I encountered racism too

when I was at home so, I dunno, Sydney's been good to me.

That's a big one too you know, people you know 'you're at university are you really

Aboriginal or are you just there for the benefits.'

Who is your hero? Oh, Uncle Max

Hands down Uncle Max, here he is, right here, got his shirt right on now.

Love you Uncle Max. That's our grandfather and our teacher,

our master and he's taught us pretty much everything.

It's Goodesy for me, Adam Goodes. He's so cool.

Martin Nakata, he's the first ever Torres Strait Islander to get a PhD, he's a good friend of mine

and the leadership he showed, that's why I'm still working in the higher education sector.

I could've gone and worked in corporates and things like that

that's who my hero is, my nan because she was somebody who from early on in life

was really passionate and dedicated to education but because of the laws and policies she actually

was denied the right to go to school so that meant she ended up missing out on

quite a lot of formative years of education and learnt to read off rubbish

at the tip, jam jars, sauce bottles, all that kind of stuff

she sort of had an understanding that she had a role to play in terms of

fighting for the rights of our people in the classroom because we should be

entitled to to have an education. I feel like with her in my strides I can

actually do anything for my people.

What can we do to try and make up for the past?

I think education is the most important thing from everything from

Australia Day to casual conversations that you have with people I think

knowing more means that you'll be able to approach things better.

The main thing is just to, before you try and act just shut up and listen. Get educated.

the only way we can really move forward in all of this and closing the gap,

Reconciliation, whatever, white Australia needs to understand.

Well, first of all, you can stop saying 'it's in the past get over it. I wasn't here

it wasn't my fault.' You know, you can't exonerate yourself from a history when

that history still affects the present day.

It was not that long ago 30, 40 years ago that we were still classed as plants and animals

and people wonder, like they're still like 'get over it' it's like, well actually it's not that easy.

It's quite close in my generations as well, my dad was stolen

so you can't tell me that's that's ancient history if I don't get to

know any of my family or my grandmother or my cousins,

I don't think it's fair to hold people accountable for things that happened so long ago, and it's not

constructive, and I think the best thing to do moving forward is to just be

compassionate and respectful of one another.

I think about the education system, and I think

about the National Curriculum creating a space for the teaching of historical

incidences which then inform why our people are the way we are today but

again it has to be designed and delivered in a way that is inclusive

that's not a blame and shame game because we know that's that's not worked

in the past and it's obviously not going to float in the future I think it's just

being part of our journey, acknowledging the past, we can't change what happened

but there's a lot of people out there who try and say 'oh it's the best thing–'

I heard someone say the other day it's great for people to be taken from their families

like if that was on them, would they like that like?

Being taken from your white family cause you're white.

Yeah there was a thing on Sunrise about that

and the lady actually like made the suggestion to have a second Stolen Genration

I was like look at her like 'what the?!' I hear that all the time

'but I'm not racist' when they make these kinds of comments and people people

We're still human.

And people don't want to talk to us sometimes cause were different but we're the same as everyone else.

It's like we come from another planet or something.

Just have a yarn with us.

We're not gonna bite.

What obstacles stand between Indigenous kids and higher education?

Well, a lot.

Getting the big questions.

Gosh, where do I start?

White privilege.

There's still a little bit of like those students will go to school and they're

not given enough information about the services that are provided within

universities or even that government provides for them at school

to do better.

The further out you go into

the more remote places the harder it gets, the less resources that are dedicated, the less time given.

They're forgotten.

This varies for a lot of Indigenous kids but it comes down to varying degrees of prejudice.

If no one believes that you're going to be there then you're not going to be there

and you're just going to fall under what everyone expects of you.

Letting go of home to get an education and you know, like just get out of your comfort zone

and leave behind you know your Indigenous, your cultural world.

I think it is, it is a confidence issue unlike a lot of other families most Indigenous

families don't have anyone who's got a tertiary education, it's quite common and

it makes it difficult to break into a world that you have no idea about and

when there's no support services made available to you it makes it ten times harder.

I was involved in the AIM program which has high school students

Indigenous high school students and we bring them all in and we discuss

Indigenous success and I think that's such an important aspect in supporting

Indigenous kids in entering into tertiary education because for a lot of

them they just don't think about it and they have a lot of sports role models

but I think having programs where you have academic role models in the

Indigenous circle is very important.

What's the best part of being Indigenous?

This just just reminded me of [singing] "there's nothing I would rather be, than to be an Aborigine."

[Singing] "And won't you take my precious land away."

I've said it a thousand times– say it again, say it loud!

I think one of the main reasons is the mob I've met, you and all my sisters and my aunties.

Everything's great. I guess being connected to culture and

and we have, we're lucky enough to have great teachers and we're lucky enough to

be in a mob that is still very strong culturally and still practices ceremony

and to be part of that is, it's like nothing else, that'd have to be the best part

of being alive. To hear the land talk to you to see the

ancientness, it's very, very special it's a it's a privilege it's definitely the best part.

So for me it's at that cellular level, like every part of me is

an Aboriginal woman and I'm proud of my heritage and I know that the footsteps

that I take have been walked by my ancestors and that they guide me.

I'm in education and we've got the textbook for our unit up there and you know they're

written in 2017 and they're bringing some stuff into the into pedagogy which

which we've known for sixty thousand years

Being black and deadly.

and I think we're pretty black and deadly ourselves so that's another good part.

N. Korean coverage of inter-Korean summit puts U.S. issues second - Duration: 2:25.

North Korea's state-run media has also released a detailed report about Saturday's snap inter-Korean

summit.

It says Seoul and Pyongyang will hold a string of talks next month... and that Kim Jong-un

is determined to go ahead with his June 12th summit with President Trump.

Oh Jung-hee has the details.

Pyongyang's Korean Central Television aired seven minutes of footage Sunday morning from

the second Moon-Kim summit.

The background music was familiar to all Koreans: a song called "Our Hope is Reunification."

"After just 29 days, another meeting of great importance has been held between the highest

leaders of the North and the South at the historic site of Panmunjom."

The North Korean report said... the two Koreas will hold a string of talks with each other

as soon as possible,... starting with the high-level talks on June 1st.

It also said... the two leaders agreed to meet and talk face to face as often as possible

to achieve denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula.

Then the report highlighted Kim Jong-un's strong will to go ahead with his summit with

U.S. President Donald Trump.

"Kim Jong-un thanked President Moon Jae-in for working so hard for the North Korea-U.S.

summit slated for June 12th, and expressed his determination that the historic summit

go ahead."

Kim suggested that the two Koreas work together to improve Pyongyang-Washington relations.

With talks underway between the North and the U.S., there is still hope for a summit

to happen on June 12th, but Kim's remarks are seen as part of efforts to make sure that

it does.

Differently from South Korean President Moon Jae-in's own announcement on Sunday, the North

Korean report brought up inter-Korean relations first... and then the North Korea-U.S. summit.

This is viewed by some as the North putting more weight on inter-Korean relations,...

wanting to resolve other issues on the foundation of strong relations with Seoul.

Pyongyang said Moon and Kim, in their meeting, reached a "satisfactory consensus."

The report said... this second summit opens up a new chapter in the development of inter-Korean

relations.

U.S. delegation in North Korea for working-level talks: State Department - Duration: 2:38.

We start with the on-off summit... that seems to be back on again.

The White House says a "pre-advance" team is en route to Singapore to check up on the

logistics of a possible North Korea-U.S. summit next month,... this on top of the summit-preparation

talks at the inter-Korean border.

And while the hard work goes on behind-the-scenes,...

U.S. President Donald Trump has tweeted about the possible summit,... expressing a renewed

sense of optimism about the chance for a breakthrough.

Lee Seung-jae reports.

The U.S. State Department has confirmed that U.S. officials have crossed the inter-Korean

border into North Korea,... to continue preparations for a potentially historic summit between

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and U.S. President Donald Trump.

According to State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert,... the two sides are holdings

talks on the northern side of the truce village of Panmunjom.

The move came just a day after President Moon Jae-in and Kim held a surprise second summit

on the northern side of Panmunjom, where Kim reaffirmed his willingness to denuclearize

and hold a summit with President Trump.

According to The Washington Post,... leading the U.S. team for the working-level talks

is Sung Kim,... a former U.S. ambassador to South Korea and a former nuclear negotiator.

The former envoy and his team crossed the inter-Korean border on Sunday to meet with

Choe Son-hui , North Korea's vice foreign minister, the official partly responsible

for prompting Trump last Thursday to announce the cancellation of his summit with Kim, which

was scheduled for June 12th in Singapore.

The American delegation also includes Allison Hooker, a director for Korea on the White

House National Security Council,... and a Pentagon official.

Randall Schriver, the assistant secretary of defense for East Asia,.. is reported to

be in Seoul,... but it could not confirmed whether he's the Pentagon official on the

delegation.

The U.S. team travelled to Tongilgak, a building inside Panmunjom, to talk about the details

of the potential Kim-Trump summit,... as Washington wants to see Pyongyang commit to a complete,

verifiable and irreversible dismantlement of its nuclear weapons program.

The meeting between the two sides is expected to continue until Tuesday.

Watchers say the two sides are on the right track again,... as North Korea issued a conciliatory

statement that it was still ready to talk with the U.S. at any time,... while President

Trump tweeted early Monday Korea time to say he truly believes North Korea has "brilliant

potential" and will be a great economic and financial nation one day.

North Korea, U.S. hold preparatory meetings for Kim-Trump summit - Duration: 2:44.

North Korea and the U.S. appear to be back at work making preparations for their summit.

Already a number of working-level talks are held between the two sides.

Lee Ji-won zooms in on what could be covered during these meetings.

It's the second day of secretive meetings between the U.S. and North Korea on the northern

side of Panmunjom.

The delegations are reportedly led by the former U.S. ambassador to South Korea and

former nuclear negotiator, Sung Kim,... and from North Korea, Choe Son-hui, the regime's

vice foreign minister and a former director of her ministry's North American department.

Both are experts in their fields, so it's expected that they'll discuss the agenda and

details of the Pyongyang-Washington summit, including North Korea's denuclearization and

a security guarantee for the regime.

In fact, South Korea's Yonhap news cited a foreign affairs source, reporting that the

talks will center on how both sides see and define "denuclearization."

Japan's Kyodo News Agency reported Monday, citing U.S. officials,... that Washington

is asking Pyongyang to first transfer the 20 nuclear warheads it is believed to have...

to somewhere outside of its borders as soon as possible.

This is in line with what White House National Security Adviser John Bolton said a few weeks

ago when he suggested that North Korea's nuclear weapons be dismantled and shipped to Oak Ridge,

Tennessee, as was done in his preferred "Libya model."

But some also say that the talks could depart from the Libya model, Trump having said he

would not take that approach,... and instead focus on his "Trump model."

This could mean the North counter-proposes that it first give up its inter-continental

ballistic missiles,... the weapons that would theoretically enable it to strike the U.S..

Trump last week had also, for the first time, hinted at the possibility of accepting a "phased-in"

disarmament for North Korea.

Meanwhile, as confirmed by White House press Secretary Sarah Sanders, an advance team of

White House and State Department officials, reportedly led by Deputy chief of staff Joe

Hagin, is believed to have left for Singapore on Sunday to prepare for the Kim-Trump summit.

And a high-ranking North Korean official, Kim Chang-son, who heads the regime's State

Affairs Commission Secretariat, appears to have gone to Singapore as Hagin's counterpart.

The North's delegation was spotted in Beijing airport Monday morning, and is believed to

have taken a Singapore flight in the afternoon, according to local sources.

And since the two sides are meeting in the city-state that'll host the possible summit,

it's expected that they'll discuss protocol and details of the schedule.

Sorry

Since I first about limo I

Wasn't out of you and just how

But since our very first conversation you just put me at such ease and made me feel so comfortable

It just fell easy and I felt right and the first date

you will love me that night to just open up to you and

be vulnerable

But there was no judgment there. You just let me be me and I knew I was falling for you

And I was falling so hard and so fast

And it scared me because I didn't think that I could feel so deeply for somebody so early on

But you proved me wrong. You've made

Fallen in love with you easy you make being in love with you easy

And I don't want to ever stop loving you, and I love you so much

And I'm just ready to do this thing with you

When I met you I was taken aback, you know you are beautiful and elegant and

In that first conversation I knew that you were an incredible woman, and I needed to know more

And I think back on our dates, and I think back on meeting your family, and I think back on

All the moments that we shared

Thing that stands out is that or a team you know?

And I am very lucky that you've been on this journey with me

And through all of it

You've given me so much confidence along the way because of that was my love for you. It's

Unmeasurable and

North Korea, U.S. hold preparatory meetings for Kim-Trump summit - Duration: 2:57.

North Korea and the U.S. appear to be back at work making preparations for their summit.

Already a number of working-level talks are held between the two sides.

Lee Ji-won zooms in on what could be covered during these meetings.

It's the second day of secretive meetings between the U.S. and North Korea on the northern

side of Panmunjom.

The delegations are reportedly led by the former U.S. ambassador to South Korea and

former nuclear negotiator, Sung Kim,... and from North Korea, Choe Son-hui, the regime's

vice foreign minister and a former director of her ministry's North American department.

Both are experts in their fields, so pundits expect that they'll discuss the agenda and

details of the Pyongyang-Washington summit.

And on the topic of denuclearization, what should be the first step.

"We have a basic idea of what the end-point of Pyongyang's denuclearization would look

like if a deal is reached.

But we don't yet have a clear picture of the first steps for it.

And that's vital for building trust.

So the U.S. could ask the North to take actions that clearly show its determination, which

would also need to be reciprocated."

In fact, Japan's Kyodo News Agency reported Monday, citing U.S. officials,... that Washington

is asking Pyongyang to first transfer the 20 nuclear warheads it is believed to have...

to somewhere outside of its borders as soon as possible.

While that request could seem similar to the so-called "Libya model," Trump had said that

he would not take that approach and instead focus on his "Trump model."

Trump last week had also, for the first time, hinted at the possibility of accepting a "phased-in"

disarmament for North Korea.

And some experts say this new "Trump model" is what might be in discussion at Pamunjom.

"The North has protested strongly against having to give up its nukes first, which could

have been one of the reasons it issued those aggressive statements two weeks ago.

But with the two sides now sitting down to talk again, it's likely that the North accepted

the U.S. request but also demanded, among other things, that it be done progressively."

Meanwhile, preparations in terms of technicial issues seem to be in the works over in Singapore.

A high-ranking North Korean official, Kim Chang-son, who heads the regime's State Affairs

Commission Secretariat, was spotted at Beijing airport Monday morning, and is believed to

have taken a Singapore flight in the afternoon, according to local sources.

With an advance team of White House and State Department officials, reportedly led by Deputy

chief of staff Joe Hagin, confirmed to have left for Singapore on Sunday, it's likely

that the two sides will meet at the summit venue.

And since they'll be in the host city, expert says it's likely that they'll discuss protocol

and details of the schedule.
