I hope it's the same throughout our nation. I watched the state funeral yesterday and it was there too - that respect that often white Australians forget about. It shows a great deal of strength and resilience.<br />Our closest flag raising happens each year at Nambour. I am planning on going along. I hope you and your husband enjoy NAIDOC week in your country.rhonda jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08962112306968959985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-25398319824730968102013-07-01T06:15:42.331+10:002013-07-01T06:15:42.331+10:00Uncle Mandawuy is with our Ancestors and he still ...Uncle Mandawuy is with our Ancestors and he still walks with us. Imagine that a State Funeral for an Aboriginal man. Sadly newsworthy items concerning Aboriginal Aussies often go unnoticed. Next Monday the 8th July is National Aboriginal Flag Raising Day. I along with many other Aboriginal South Aussies, some prominent and some not, have been invited by the Adelaide Lord Mayor Steven Yarwood to the Flag Raising. This is an annual event but rarely rates a mention on the evening newscast. My husband and I will attend unless the heavens open up. This is a forerunner to NAIDOC Week and it's happening all over this great land of ours and if you are interested just Google it :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02758926343154376267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-60625664463510828922013-07-01T03:44:13.313+10:002013-07-01T03:44:13.313+10:00Sorry Kris, I checked them and both are working.Sorry Kris, I checked them and both are working.rhonda jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08962112306968959985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-74737438261982208692013-07-01T00:27:53.113+10:002013-07-01T00:27:53.113+10:00Neither of the links work for me...

We are fed so much rubbish. We can all learn from the lives of somebody like Mr Yunupingu.
