We could lose the oldest culture on our planet | Amy Toensing | TEDxCarnegieLake

When the pyramids were being built, the Aboriginal culture in Australia was already running for 55,000 years. In this talk, Amy Toensing shares the difference in life of Aboriginal Australians before and after colonization. She sheds light on years of dispossession, massacres, and discrimination by the Government.
