I've travelled to remote settlements and and had the amazing priviledge of staying in isolated indigenous communities. The most recent last September to document housing with a friend who is photographing indigenous traditional housing.

 

When was the last time you spent time with an indigenous group in an isolated settlement?

 

(And, no, driving past the Todd River in Alice Springs in your airconditioned car on your way to somewhere else does not count).

That's prob what you did, a flying visit to take pictures.

"Amazing priveledge" gives you away straight away, did you have a religious spiritual experience too? like mosr novices who go and "visit" an aboriginal community.

What a laugh and a total disgrace to perpetrate your opinions on here that in fact add nothing to the debate, just the same old leftist view to leave them in the dirt, the noble savage outlook so many of you have and regurgitate as "knoweledge" when in fact taking a photo shoot on a flying vistit is insulting to the people.

Gawking and taking pictures is a throw back to the first whites who saw the natives as a novelty.

That's all I will say to you on this subject I will not waste my time with your opinions.
