Aboriginal woman blasts Welcome to Country and offers an alternative to the 'fake token' ceremonies: 'I've had a gutful'. #NicholasWilson An Indigenous activist has blasted Welcome to Country ceremonies as 'guilt trips', calling for them to be replaced with a minute's silence for Australian veterans. Northern Territory woman Cheron Long said the ceremonies do more to divide Australians than unite them, in a resurfaced video posted to social media in June. 'I’ve had a gutful of this fake, token Welcome to Country crap,' she said. 'Every damn footy game, cricket match, concert, you name it. We’ve got to sit through this same rehearsed nonsense like it actually means anything to the average Aussie. 'It’s not culture, it's a box-ticking exercise pushed down our throats.' Ms Long has garnered a large following online for her posts on crime and social issues in Indigenous communities under the name, Australian Black Conservative. Instead of Welcome to Country ceremonies, Ms Long argued Australians should take a moment to remember the country's veterans. 'You want real respect? How about we honour the people who actually built and protected this country: our Anzacs, our veterans, the men and women who gave their lives so that we can enjoy a beer and watch a game and live free,' she said. 'Instead of some awkward speech nobody connects with, let's have a minute’s silence before the game. 'Let’s raise the flag, play the anthem proud, and remember our fallen.' 'That’s real, that’s Aussie, not this guilt trip ritual that does more to divide us than unite us. 'Time to stand up for real culture, our shared Aussie identity.' Her video was met with overwhelming support on Facebook and even drew an endorsement from Lee Hanson, who is the daughter of One Nation leader Pauline Hanson. 'I wholeheartedly agree with needing a national expression that speaks to the heart of every Australian,' the younger Hanson wrote. 'One which is respectful of our past and inclusive of all who have sacrificed to get us to today, while also uniting us and leading us through the future.' Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, who has campaigned alongside Ms Long, told the Daily Mail she welcomed Ms Long's remarks. 'I commend Cheron for always striving to bring Australians together in unity,' she said. 'Her call for recognition and respect reflects a genuine desire to see our nation move forward together.' Senator Price has also been outspoken in her criticism of Indigenous acknowledgement ceremonies, including in a fiery address to parliament in July. She said they did little to improve the lives of Indigenous Australians and were a form of 'political point-scoring' after a group of One Nation Senators turned their backs on a parliamentary Acknowledgement of Country ceremony. It sparked a fierce rebuke from Foreign Minister Penny Wong, who urged the Coalition to 'respect' parliamentary traditions. 'I would hope that the Opposition would reflect on the words of their own leader in relation to welcomes to country,' the Labor Senate leader told the chamber. 'Decency and respect cost us nothing, but they go a long way to building a sense of unity.' ❗ Our Hearts ♥ go out to Cheron Long 🇦🇺 what a legend (Y) Link: https://t.co/IPGhWabVYg
