DEAR News Of The Area,
Who are We?
Greetings or acknowledgements are important.
It could be a nod of the head as Aboriginal Peoples have been doing forever, or Warami, All-a, Giinagay, Gidday, Shalom, Salaam, Ni hao, Ahlan, Heigh, Moi, Marhaba, Kon nichiwa, Namaste, Hello.
These greetings are spoken every day in Australia, [by] Australians.
Martin Luther King said, “Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that”.
It’s important to respect all cultures.
Inclusion brings people together, where we can listen and hear, which builds on our understanding, acceptance and respect, and through dialogue we can gain further knowledge – and it goes on.
