IF you listened and enjoyed the first talk – here is the continuation to it:

I remember watching this in NITV (National Indigenous Television) news at the time:
https://www.sbs.com.au/guide/video/5...irst-Aust-tour

Talking about the old traumas to deaf ears (mainstream culture) and getting all bitter & twisted in the process is not the way.
But of course the truth needed to be told again and again until it was heard and acknowledged.

But now connecting globally, realizing the parallels – well, you know you are being heard, understood & it is time to move on from the ‘rut’.

All my ‘white’ friends are anti-racist, work with reconciliation and environmental issues and together with Indigenous groups we have gotten things done.

This hate-the-white-man activism leads nowhere, but self-destruction – it destroys the culture too they are pretending to respect and defend.
No spiritual Elder teaches that.
