I actually work with Aboriginal people and what you stated was correct about them gifting/giving.
My experience has been around how much they look out for eachother, if they have spare food, money or cigarettes even and they are asked by another Aboriginal person for something, they just give, they share because thats their culture, plus I was told if they didnt it would be `shame` on them. I do think its a nicer way of living, I have a lot of work to do on myself around this because money is in short supply (In my current way of thinking) that I get panicky of not having enough until next pay day. I dont think I would be that bad if I didnt have kids and other responsibilities.
