Tjanara's parents believed that education was the only way to break through systemic poverty, and found ways to send all fiv.

Izai.Amorim That‘s really distressing. I didn‘t know about it. 5y

Sue @Izai.Amorim Very distressing! It‘s not something I‘ve seen widely discussed in the mainstream. Owning that fact and talking about it would make it impossible for the government to treat the Indigenous people the way that they do. Much easier to ignore the generations of systematic abuse and trauma and the effects. Both criminal and heart breaking. 5y

Izai.Amorim @Sue I found the fact they have similar symptoms as children of alcoholics very shocking. The suggestion of mixing Western psychotherapy and their own spiritual healing rituals very good. We can only hope that people in power will see the light someday... 5y
