(Wise!) advice for those who’d like to meet Aboriginal Australians (10/10)

Here we are at the last episode of this series of 10 podcasts on Aboriginal Australian culture, co-produced with Grégory Zwingelstein (didgeridoo-passion.com). For this final installment, what could be more logical than sharing Greg’s precious advice for going to meet Aboriginal Australians! Throughout the episode, Greg tells us about his experiences (and mistakes!) so that you don’t make the same ones… Because you don’t just wing it in the middle of the Australian Bush! Safe travels, everyone!

We mentioned Sylvie in the podcast, and before publishing it, we asked for her permission. She was completely fine with it, but did correct the mistake we made. Here is her reply from Messenger, which I’m pasting here:

“Great Gauthier, thanks for taking the time. So the truth is that I didn’t go to prison. I was arrested by a police officer who locked me up in an old school for my own safety. It’s not the same thing as a traditional prison, even if I felt like I was in prison. There, now you know everything. It’s up to you whether you cut it or not. But keep the info that it’s possible for a woman on her own to go to Arhnem Land in complete safety. Thanks for your kindness. Big hugs, Sylvie.”
