[quote:Pharista:MV8xNjQ5ODA5XzI3MjUxNzc2XzRCOTFGNEEy] This will explain more OP http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beds_Are_Burning Excerpt - [b]"Beds Are Burning" is a political song about giving native Australian lands back to the Pintupi, who were among the very last people to come in from the desert. These 'last contact' people began moving from the Gibson Desert to settlements and missions in the 1930s. More were forcibly moved during the 1950s and 1960s to the Papunya settlement. In 1981 they left to return to their own country and established the Kintore community which is nestled in the picturesque Kintore Ranges, surrounded by Mulga and Spinifex country. It is now a thriving little community with a population of about 400. (Kintore and the town of Yuendumu are mentioned by name in the lyrics.) Midnight Oil performed the song in front of a world audience of billions at the closing ceremony of the 2000 Sydney Olympics. The whole band were dressed in black, with the word "Sorry" printed conspicuously on their clothes. [/b] I loved Midnight Oil back in my youth back packing around Oz - this was my favourite song of theirs, thanks for the sweet memory trigger AC :) [/quote]
Original Message
The DNA sequencing of a 100-year-old hair lock of hair from an Australian Aborigine has revealed that he was directly descended from Africans who migrated to Asia about 70,000 years ago.
According to ABC Science, the discovery proves that Aboriginal Australians have a longer continuous association with the land than any other race of people.
