History

I read today that "history is always told by the victors. The story of a community is always told from the point of view of the most successful people within that community - and it tends to honour exactly those people." (Matthew Jack)

This makes some sense of the dominant white culture's view on things. We don't easily hear an indigenous view of history, for many reasons. And Richard Trudgeon's "Why Warriors Lie Down and Die" is helpful in addressing that.

We wonder how two such different cultures can live side by side, with mutual respect and growing understanding.
