Hi please can you explain to me the choice of the title “Why Warriors Lie down and Die” for your book. I grew up in Scotland in the 60s and 70s and remember very little that I learned in school about Australia and aboriginal people. However,one thing that always stuck in my mind was being taught that aboriginal people were capable of lying down and dying if their life was being threatened. I understood this to be a form of controlling one’s destiny and over the years this idea of being connected to a higher power seemed amazing to me.I understood it to be a form of complete trust and letting go of the physical body. I am not sure if this is my interpretation or if i even remember correctly what I was taught but is something that has fascinated me for years and so I would really appreciate your views Yours sincerely Jane Lehmann.

As a non Aboriginal Australian living in Hawaii, I am very keen on hearing the Aboriginal Voice , which missing from main stream media, yet a fundamental voice for humanity.
In the Q&A Video Serie, which I greatly enjoy watching, it is mentioned to contact if we have a question to ask that we would like to see a video about. I would like to ask of Richard Trudgen to explain whether in Aboriginal Mythology and Religion, exist stories relating to the Apocalypse. It seems to me that they all concern themselves instead with Creation as opposed to monotheist religion that focus on fear and end of the world scenario, It would be interesting to know. Keep up the good work!
