All Australians should cherish our unique Aboriginal culture
SHOULD NON-INDIGENOUS AUSTRALIANS BE PROUD OF INDIGENOUS CULTURE? Ray Gates, 29 July 14 “……….In explaining why they thought non-Indigenous Australian’s should be proud of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, several common themes emerged from the ideas put forward. These included:………..
“Because Indigenous Australian’s are the traditional owners of the land and bring with them a unique culture. We could learn more as non Indigenous people especially with regard to kinship values, the importance of the land and spirituality”
“Yes – it is what is unique to Australia, something that differentiates us from the rest of the world; we have one of the longest living cultures in the world and we should be proud of it and cherish it whether we are Indigenous or not.”
“Indigenous culture is a valuable resource for all Australians. It is rich and diverse, it is enduring and adaptable. It speaks with the voice of our ancient past. Indigenous culture advises us on how to care for the natural world and for each other. The language, art, music, learning,rituals, rules and ways of living cans inform all our ways of living.”…………http://raygates.me/should-non-indigenous-australians-be-proud-of-indigenous-culture/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=should-non-indigenous-australians-be-proud-of-indigenous-culture
