In the 'Ceremonial Practice' section the same source is cited four times. Are there other sources which corroborate this information? Kat7502 (talk) 23:35, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

Do we have any early accounts of this? edit
Certainly not mentioned by Buckley, Morril or Petrie. The latter goes into fine detail about ceremonies by Brisbane tribes.
I suspect this only happened in a small number of places, if at all. Modern accounts are dubious at best. I seems like a modern invention. Tuntable (talk) 23:07, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
Most sources I can find connect it to the 1976 Perth arts festival. Some say that it's thousands of years old, but those accounts are typically extremely vague, never mentioning which peoples do/did it, which plants they used, or any written records by early settlers or anthropologists. A lot of this article takes such claims uncritically. A newspaper from 1906 is cited, but the smoking ceremony it mentions (among Larrekiya and Wogait) is to initiate a girl to womanhood Sheila1988 (talk) 21:28, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
