So much to say not enough time and space to even decide whether it is worth taking the time to try to explain the difficulties of not being a 'full blood' aborginal to some narrow minded people.
It is a sad sad world we live in today all the people need to do is get on with their lives and try to live in peace and harmony. Not that that will ever happen in my life time. My people have been fighting since European's first thought we needed to be civilized and that fight will
never end.
What is really makes me sick to my stomach is what's happening to Palm Island. I was born there and moved away when I was seven with my family. Now alot of people are still hurting themselves and other over there. It's something not even I understand. I know that alot of my people have substance dependancy but that is considered in other 'white' people's eyes as being a decease but when some look at aborginals with those same eye's it's a discrace.
I would love to see alot more aborginal people becoming outspoken with the things that are really happening in their communities and tell the whole story whether it be good or bad so the world can see how hard it really is to be aborginal in a white world.
