nomadpete Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 I understand Stacey's complaint about smoking ceremonies and welcome ceremonies being carried out by indigenous representatives. Firstly, I find it hypocritical for indigenous people to 'welcome' us. After all they claim we are the descendants of unwelcome invaders! Why are welcoming us now? Is all forgiven? Secondly I do not see the logic behind having a bunch of strangers pretending to welcome me to the land where I was born. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmccarthy Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 What does proud mean? I see lots of people described as 'a proud nunanjali man' or similar. Does that mean there are embarrassed Nunanjali men? Can I be a proud Irish man? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Tuncks Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 When I was last in Alice Springs, only indigenous people were allowed to have fires. Opposite us was a continually smoking " comfort" fire, yet we were not allowed to have anything similar. We ( the missus and me ) were fixing up a previously black-tenanted house which had got burned in a fire. It ( the house ) was a tilt-slab place with the only timber used for roof trusses. The black family tenants were good people according to the neighbors, although they certainly had nothing like a garden. So they had no hose to put out the fire and they sat on the fence watching it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At my dad's funeral, the celebrant described him as a "proud Yorkshire man" I can't really see the problem with the word proud.
