. Some folks have asked who the ‘Bundjalung Tribe’ are. They are a tribe from the area of Northern New South Wales in Australia. . My family came over on the 2nd fleet of convicts (arrested jailed and then sent to the penal colony for striking a superior officer...well). . Apparently, there is a single picture that has survived that shows some of the early family members/settlers with their Bundjalung wives/mistresses/servants/slaves, who knows what the relationship was . My family has never openly embraced it but secretly acknowledge it. They have to, we all look like blackfellas' LOL, especially in the summertime at the beach, especially uncles and aunties. They use to get run off beaches as kids for being ‘bloody Abo’s. ‘ . I have never missed Australia, the people I knew (except one mate) but I do long for the land. To feel it underfoot. To smell the sea. To see red dust from horizon to horizon. Now I understand where I am from; it makes sense to me why I need to wander (go walkabout) why my spirituality, my Christian Faith, is essential to me, Aboriginal people are a very spiritually aware people very intuitive emotionally. . They have never been ‘my people’ because we were never allowed to celebrate it or be a part of it. The longer I go on this journey with PTSD, the more I realize that all the factors of our past are glorious strands of the future. I long to connect with them to understand what makes me a complete human. . I’ve never seen myself as white or black, just John. I suppose I have never liked how many Aboriginal people refused to rise above their circumstances and their history and have existed on government handouts for years and didn't want to buy into that mentality. This does not negate my acknowledgment that historical institutions have played a role in the destructions of indigenous cultures worldwide, i just don’t hold them accountable for my future. . The challenge I have faced here in the USA is that with people who have made race an issue in their lives, I am not black enough for many African Americans and not white enough for some White Americans. . Enough random ramblings. #drjohnaking #gonewalkabout #ptsd https://www.instagram.com/p/BoMZeqrgrvM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7aepsougbsfv
