What do you think or feel about these issue that almost all didgeridoos not made by Aboriginal people are sold without clearly stating this fact?
What do you think or feel about these issue that many didgeridoos not made by Aboriginal people are sold using Aboriginal cultural images or are even sold by deceiving the customer into believing they were made by Aboriginal people? |

That is betrayal! Not right at all. Instead of deceiving customers the salesperson should instead give a brief background on the origin of the didgeridoo and the cultural meaning. This way people will acknowledge the Aboriginal people and what is important to them. I think people will appreciate the didge more and will make a greater effort to give a portion of the sales to the Aboriginal people. |
Brad from USA |

Same as previously stated. They should (apply for and) be given a cultural trademark similar to native american or eskimo or wine producers etc. to use to designate authenticity... The Australian Government could play a role here. If the didj is clearly marked as to origin and cultural reference... the free market forces will see the people will make their money. But if someone can make a better instrument then they should be allowed to do so. Just like wine. Sounds like these people just need help getting organized to bring THEIR product to the free market economy. Labeling laws/protection will help them guarantee that if someone wants an authentic didj then they can get it. But I do not think this culture or any other has a right to prohibit the manufacturing or use of the instrument or non-original duplicative art-work.... I do think it is very wrong to not represent the authenticity or origin correctly. That is fraud. |
