Native food

For nearly a decade, the book "Dark Emu" by Aboriginal historian Bruce Pascoe has sparked intense debate. In the book, Pascoe contends that many pre-colonial Aboriginal groups engaged in farming practices, citing instances such as eel aquaculture in Victoria and the cultivation and threshing of native millet in the arid center. This discussion has involved a spectrum of participants, ranging from academics to Aboriginal communities with a vested interest in food futures, to outspoken radio personalities decrying it as a distortion of history.
