the lost generations of australia

i just watched the most incredible movie. rabbit-proof fence. its about the lost generations of the indigenous peoples of australia. i would recommend it to anyone interested in this area. i am.

i watched an amazing movie called 'river queen' a couple of months ago, and then i watched 'australia' a couple of weeks ago. both are about children who were known as half-caste, the children of native australians and whites.

ive long been interested in the history of australia. ned kelly is a true story, and heath ledger played him perfectly. hes a hero there, he and his family, and those who followed in his footsteps changed their country

a couple of years ago australia apologized to the aboriginal peoples, but only one minister had apologized for the lost generations.

people are always worried that if they apologize people will want reparations. i dont believe in reparations

the people who did this are long since gone.

my ancestors, many died when the united states and france invaded canada. should i sue for their deaths? no. i should forgive. and i do

but if no one apologizes how can they forgive?

supposedly it cost the new zealand government a fortune when they apologized to the maori. the people wanted money for what was not done to them, but to their ancestors. thats just ridiculous.

so now australia is afraid to apologize. and maybe i dont blame them.

the world has become far too greedy.

people want everything that they can get. i dont, i just want to love others and to protect them. i have nothing financially, but im fine with that, because i have love in my heart :)
