I really
thought that when you think about how the Aboriginals used to live that it
was such a great achievement of what they did until the white settlers came
and destroyed the land. When I
studied Aboriginal culture I really found out how precious and special the
things they used to value were because they lived better than we do now. Because they did take things from the
environment and so did we, but the thing that separates our lifestyles is that
they gave back to the environment.
I used to
know nothing about Nyungar culture until I did this project. I am really aware now about how their
lifestyle is better than the one we have now. Sure they didn’t have to, but as much as I don’t want to say
it, it is not much of an accomplishment. But also the food they ate was delicious, I tried it on the Bush Tucker
Tour. Also the things the white
settlers brought along destroyed the environment even more.
After the
Bush Tucker Tour and the project I thought about how the Aboriginals felt when
we came and took their land and their values. Even now some people don’t care which can really disappoint
some Aboriginal people. So when I
hear about these people I think that people should care and carry on
tradition. But I learnt that
people who should tell their kids about Nyungar culture and tell them the
importance of the land.
