Education is the key take out from that vid imo. Literacy and numeracy is the most important gift you can give a child. Those can only be taught. Culture is lived.
I'd like to see the same vid made from the perspective of the city dwelling mob. I think it would be much easier to teach the kids about the land, earth, sky when immersed in it. How do the city based kids connect with their roots surrounded by concrete?
Agreed Zen. And good questions. I think there's alot in what you said.
Great read and great initiative.

Unreal @TBB!!
Thanks for sharing this.
Those whalebone replicas look epic. Wouldn't mind that on the path down to my local!
Some pretty powerful stuff going on there. Love it.
And hopefully helps give the Lions the edge over the Pies this weekend ;-)
Love and learn.
