Hi! Barbara and Woody You wrote "And , well, we can't go back but we can bring that ancestral inheritance forward and baptize ourselves with it."
We as non Aboriginals should not try and strip mine their culture or any one else's for that matter. What does happen at times, is that those who still carry the stories, sometimes share some of them with a few of us. They teach that to know the story is to become part of it. This includes the obligation to protect the story and the related sites. Insight into these matters gives a new understanding of the landscape and that which moves within it. Gil
