  • Summary

  • ‘Growing up, many Aboriginal kids did things because that’s what they believed an Aboriginal person did. This mentality becomes very destructive when they believe an Aboriginal person is a criminal, violent, drunk or unable to do positive things such as hold a job. These ideas have been ingrained in our people by white Australia and many of us carry out negative behaviour to validate our identity, especially during our formative years.’
