Thursday morning

I learned much about the relations between the government and aboriginals yesterday....they were not recognized as citizens or counted on the census until the 1970's...their lands were used for the atomic testing...without permission or warning first...... I saw an art exhibition of photos from the missions in the 1950's...photos of those from the "stolen generation" and I learned much of teh protest in the 70's and the legislation that resulted..... last night I watched the movie...storm boy...from the 1970's ....which starred for the first time...an aboriginal.... and also talked about environmental issues...was very informative for the times....I also watched Ten Canoes...made in 2006 about the aboriginals...all in their language with subtitles....was great.....I feel like my brain is on overload.....but that is good... today will go out and see more of the area around adelaide.... is very cold here.....brrrrrrrr
