If you are an Australian you may know that it is Reconciliation Week. We had some great celebrations at School today, I met some very interesting indigenous people including Aunty Ruth from Nowra and Aunty Faye from La Perouse, Sydney.
Within five minutes of meeting Aunty Ruth she had told me all about how to find Blue Swimmer Crabs, the best wood to make a boomerang, and different types of bush tucker... it was grounding, inspirational and something I hope all Australians have the opportunity to experience... these wise, respected women with something to share, be it a story, advice, or simply some photos and a cup of tea.
I urge you to join the 'Sea of Hands' where you can design online your own hand offering to share in the spirit of reconciliation, and send online letters urging Australian politicians to make indigenous issues a policy priority.
