Hows things?
We have just seen some of my beautiful country out west and overseas and have taken in breathtaking wonders of the Palm Islands and Boulia country and Mt. Isa area where my grandmothers and my mothers dreaming places are from the desert sands which almost looks like your on the moon and the Isa after the rain is just so green and alive. Palm Island is wonderful and beautiful and exciting that it makes you want hold onto that moment of tranquility for some time after.
Whilst we were in Boulia, grandmothers country where the desert looks like you are on the moon, we visited the site of the native police barracks which is full of stories about what happened to the people and the town folks who allowed it to happen to the Aboriginal people.
The Aboriginal people remember it well and how thousands of kalkadoons and desert mob were slaughtered because of the native police who were set up and supervised by one white man, Eggleton whom they later killed. This war to be the dominant culture in Australia was won by the native police but because they were and still are Aboriginal they could never have equal rights in this country as this is a racist’s war .
Many of the Boulia Aboriginal residents who are the Pitta Pitta nation suffered also and were sent to Palm Island.
It’s very shocking to see what can happen to society when it succumbs to racist mentalities of this degree, to see the native police of today that have sold out their birthright and their children’s birthright to the government yet again for nothing.
Now their children must live a lie and believe in a lie because the parents have sold their soul . I thought that only happened to blues singers and had no idea that it was the government that you had to sell it to . This I can really see that there is no future for anyone black or white unless the Aboriginal people stand up for our children or grandchildren’s future and if we acccept the Europeans to take care of us, we should think again . We did expect this to happen of the mission because we had no choice in the matter but now we have a choice in the matter. So what do we do, what did we do? Unfortunately many have succumbed to the native police mentallity hoping they can get something before the next black person, but the white person will eventually get tired of them and then look to suck another culture of it’s heritage in and effort to be the trend setters of the day and boost their supremacy muscle to the world in an effort to justify their existence in this country .
