Recorded on the land of the Gubbi Gubbi tribe in eastern Australia, we join an elder on top of a mountain where smoke signals were used between surrounding tribes for communication. We learn about the numerous similarities between Indigenous Aboriginal Australians and the First Nations Peoples of the Americas. We then walk down into the jungle to sit on the edge of a creek beside an ancient path which dates back tens of thousands of years. Sitting alongside numerous artifacts, we learn about initiation practices, animal totems, the law of the land and specifically how the indigenous Aboriginal Australians lived in harmony with the land and animals for hundreds of thousands of years prior to the arrival of Captain Cook. Alex Bond is a descendant of one of the last chiefs in this area of Australia, he is an activist, musician and storyteller.
