I work in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education and am constantly amazed at the white supremest attitude that is still alive and well amongst white Australia today. Education is the way forward, reculturing our schools and the wider community by telling the truth about what Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians have suffered in the past, and how we white Australia enjoy success today because of the policies that were signed off by past Governments. Walking in two worlds is reality for Indigenous Australians and we need to acknowledge the past wrongs and look towards the future together. It is time to respect local cultures and knowledges and utilise the knowledge of local Elders. Get informed and by educating ourselves abolish racism from our language and thoughts.
