Oppo Camp The Non-North Footy Discussion & Matchday Chat Thread (NNFD&MCT) VII

[Val Keating]

We softened the Cats up last week and the Dees still couldn’t get over the top of them.

Yeah we gave them leather poisoning

 

[archereleven]

It does. I respect the culture, but once you see that it can’t be unseen

When I read your post I instantly thought of the dream scene in Dumb and Dumber where he lights up his own fart...

Bunjil - as depicted in rock art in the Black Range Scenic Reserve near Stawell. The site linked below notes that this is the only rockart painting of Bunjil known. It is widely regarded as one of the most significant cultural sites in south eastern Australia.

Bunjil Shelter - Stawell, Attraction, Grampians, Victoria, Australia

Visit Black Range Scenic Reserve to see the only Aboriginal rock art painting of Bunjil, a leading spiritual figure of the local indigenous people.

A representation of Bunjil sitting atop Olliver's Hill in Frankston.

Another, larger but otherwise similar statue by the same artist is located near Spencer St Station in "The Melbourne Quarter" of Docklands.

Somewhere I have a photo taken near Hall's Gap where the oldest known rock painting of Bunjil can be found.

I love wedgetails. I can usually spot them from miles away. Seen some huge ones too.

 

[ferball]

Yes.

Bruce Pascoe also gave a ted talk on it.



Edit there are a couple of things that led me more into looking into this.

I went to New Zealand and they were having Maori Language week were their news was presented in Maori and had English subtitles. Anyway everywhere there was Kia Ora, I started wondering why I knew the words for hello for a place I had been to once and not the words in the language of the people who lived on the land I was born on for thousands of years before I got here.

There was the footy connection, Marngrook etc.

THere is a depth of culture in this country and it is every where and most people wouldn't know it if they were staring at it.

Jingi walla is hello/welcome in the language of the peoples where I live. It gets used alot now.

As far as I can find Wominjeka is the closest thing to hello, meaning Welcome, in woi-wurrung the language of the Wurundjeri.

I thought it was Sleevo...

If you guys haven't seen this site, have a look: Gambay: Australian First Languages Map — First Languages Australia

The interactive map is fantastic for understanding the languages in your area.

I also like this one, but it is just for Queensland: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages
It's a bit more of the same, but I love how the QLD one links into library resources for each community.

A power of work is being put into this sort of thing lately. Small steps.

thanks for this.

For those interested in Victoria there are plans for the creation of a treaty between first nations people and the state government.

Treaty in Victoria | First Peoples - State Relations

The Victorian Government is leading the country through its work toward a treaty or treaties with Traditional Owners and Aboriginal Victorians.

Spending time post season at Lake Grace

 

[ferball]

Is it genetic though?

Probably. I remember Pykie showing those picture of Fyfe after Taylor won us that game against the Saints in early 2020.
