Re: A Conversation with Aboriginal Elders from the Northern ...
Hi
I am a former resident of the NT (4 years from 2002 - 2006) . I am encouraged to see such a forum tkaing place as I am very interested to hear the perspective of the elders of the community spekaing up about the intervention.
I will be very interested to see the transcript if available when this is completed. I would love to be there myself but due to work and transport I am unable to do so.
I would like to hear the elder's perspective on the level of interaction and support offered to indigenous people in this issue. Has it been delivered in an authoritiative manner or has it been done in the way that at least introduces engagement and working together..?
I hope it goes well and will be interested to see the results..
Tim
