Aboriginal Dancers

These are young Aboriginal Dancers
This young man with the branches is a tree,
The others are chopping it down to find the bee that stung one of them.
They will also find honey. Dancers, are so fun to watch. Each dance has a story.
Following the bee to the tree

The man that got stung
Dancers with Sister Doney
This was the start of NAIDOC week.
We went up to the Hospital where this event was put on.
This year it was Honouring the Youth and Elders of the Aboriginal People.
All these young men are part Aboriginal.
As the other cultures are mixed in,
The dark skin is washed out never to come back.
The young man 3rd from the left, his Father is much darker.
It is hard to believe but true.

The whole group dancing with the Medicine Mans smoke flowing around.

We really enjoyed the dancing and music the Aboriginal People performed for all of us.
It was fun, interesting and a great learning experience.
