Share indigenous knowledge
I am delighted to hear about the Ganang Spirit Dancers.
I would like to see the group embrace local children from all cultures so that they, too, may learn the great wisdom of Country, the original custodians of this great continent, and would become the next generation of ambassadors for reconciliation.
This would enable a greater understanding, knowledge and acceptance within the community.
Acknowledgment of Country, and the great survival skills, and natural resource management learnt by our original occupants, over the many thousands of years, and long before the invaders from the northern hemisphere arrived to lay claim, need to be broadly shared.
