I am being denied the right to protect my natural and cultural heritage. I was born in Western Australia. I love the State and would protect it. I am proud of our ten thousand years of history, I want to preserve it.
The Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act allows indigenous groups to appeal against damage to our heritage.
Am I not Blak enough to care?
Aboriginal people can identify areas which, for them, have special significance. Just as I can identify a church or a river.
Everyone -- Blak or Whyt -- deserves the right to protect those areas of significant heritage.
Forget "Aboriginal". We need an effective Cultural Heritage Act.
