No doubt here, a well-intended soul, thinking from the heart and all that @ 1:04 thinks it an amazing idea to try and create change for the ab-original peoples by planting non-native fruit trees, so that the “ab-original people will be able to have their own food, to have access to their own food, because food is like a base note to culture”.

^ That to me sounds like somebody who is absolutely clueless about the original land use & culture and the abundance of the seasonal bushfoods that were there, which kept people well fed:

Although this is assuming the volunteers knew what type of trees they were planting, but perhaps they did not know and believed to be planting native fruit trees?
And perhaps the "B.Bay Movement" had asked the local tribe as to what kind of trees they wanted to be planted (?)

Planting non-native fruit-tree orchards is a good idea also, communities do have them for their own and commercial income reasons, now that people have had to become sedentary.

But still. People in general do live in their own conditioned cultural prism bubbles … we all do - often not realizing it and knowing of no other ways.
