Factually wrong. Central Australian indigenous people had been dot painting their bodies using ochres and dot drawing in the sand for tens of thousands of years. All that was introduced in the 70s was canvas and acrylic paint. Get your facts straight before claiming an obvious and easily provable lie or was just a dog whistle.

@tikkabrno Factually incorrect. Central Australian indigenous people have been dot painting their bodies with ochre and drawing in the sand for thousands of years. What was introduced in the 70s was canvas and acrylic paint. We taught them nothing. Artists were not comfortable with recording permanently their spiritual meanings so the paintings became more abstract. I can only assume you are ignorant of the facts or comment is just a dog whistle.

@tikkabrno No dot art is absolutely traditional. It did not start as you put it in the 70s. What you wrote was deliberately deceptive for reasons I can’t imagine.

@tikkabrno If you knew the truth why didn’t you represent it accurately and in its correct context? Again to what end other than a dog whistle.

Sounds like you don’t understand the meaning of plagiarism.

@jsmith3908 If the legal cases are acknowledged in the footnotes of the Uluṟu statement particularly the Western Sahara case please explain how in the hell can it be plagiarism? Or have you just parroted what you have heard?

@gjreels824 In a paragraph that is much closer to the truth than this dog whistle garbage that we taught them dot painting.

So clearly you have no understanding of the word “plagiarism”

@jsmith3908 So you do understand that the Uluṟu statement and it’s authors acknowledge both the Australian High Courts acknowledgement in the Mabo case and the Western Sahara and the ICJ case in the footnotes. You obviously don’t understand the meaning of plagiarism and have just parroted what you heard. I’m embarrassed for you.

What 500 years of English common law.

What an ignorant ass! The notion of indigenous sovereignty or ownership of the land can be traced back to the initial contact with Dutch explorers in the 17th century and with Cook in 1770. A indigenous petition was even submitted to the Australian government requesting a voice as far back as 1936.
