We need Government to understand that Aboriginal stories aren't all of crisis and despair, but also of growth and renewal.  

In February this year the Western Australian Coroner Mr Alistair Hope, handed down his findings into tragedy caused by the abuse of drugs and alcohol in the Kimberly region, and again the focus of mainstream media and many of our politicians was narrowed.

The problem being, when their vision narrows they lose sight of all the other stories that are going on, stories of hope and rebirth and opportunity.

We are facing a crisis of drugs and despair which is decades old, but we are also experiencing a renaissance that is decades old. If you look at the mainstream media you'd be forgiven for thinking what the entire indigenous nation is in a state of complete collapse, when in fact through out the country indigenous people are standing up and using the power of education to retell their past and take control of their future.
