Reply to comment by theweightoflostlove in Indigenous people are less likely to survive the year after an ICU admission. 12 months after being admitted to intensive care, an Indigenous person is more likely to have died than a non-Indigenous person, according to Australian research. by MistWeaver80
And when they do have art, its the fake* new dot stuff, not the true stuff. Not that they could have a lot of the true stuff, because its secret. Hence the dots, what happened was the western desert nation (IIRC) was doing art with an anthropologist or sociologist in the 70s, and invented the dots to hide the actual painting from him and white viewers. It's not ancient, and it's not the history for any of the other nations
You'll find some aboriginal folks with some very strong anti dot art opinions, and it wouldn't provide them with all that much comfort.

Ten-year study measured changes in the abundance of farmland birds on land managed under bird-focused schemes, as well as land no bird-friendly farming initiatives. by Wagamaga
> I would think that having the right birds around could also help curb pests that destroy their crops as well.
Or we could institute a bounty on those pesky pest sparrows and smash em so they don't eat our grain.
