Public debate over evidence regarding the complexity of the social and subsistence practices of our First Nations Peoples in the book Dark Emu is most disturbing – and disrespectful. The rush to create a new narrative and teachings on the lifestyle of our First Nations Peoples is getting ahead of well-researched and tested premises. Given there are hundreds of individual ‘nations’ who evolved from our county’s first inhabitants, it is reasonable to postulate that there were many and varied social and subsistence practices over time and space, as was the case in other cultural groups across the world.
