Today is Australia Day for us Australians, but for me and many, many indigenous people we see it as Invasion Day. The day when the massacre began, today is not the day of when Australia was ‘founded’, or joy, it is a day of sadness and sorrow. Today I will be in my colours and fly my flag with pride, I will dance the traditional dances and have a moment of silence with my family for those indigenous families who have lost to the invasion, and to the stolen generation.
Today is a day of sorrow, sadness and a day when our land was taken.
