Personal AECG Reflections • Today’s world is moving forward in so many ways. Unfortunately, Aboriginal people continue to be left behind. Band-aid fixes through band-aid funding will never ‘Close the Gap’: that date will also continue to move forward. Identity and culture, is the key to anyone's success, strength and growth. Why do we have to continually fight for ours, the oldest continual living culture? • Rachel Small 2013 • Aboriginal people continue to survive. Whether the future of our country is a good one or not depends on all of us coming together. Society must honour our history and enact a vision for the future that respects and values Aboriginal people as the rightful teachers of their cultures and embrace the diversity of our communities. • Ken Weatherall 2013
