Indigenous

This is a story of identity: how one man experienced exclusion and a sense of unworthiness in Australian Society. It is the story of growing up - blackfella's youngfella - and the struggle to assimilate into the dominant, white European society.But the struggle, the search and the frustration leads to his uncovering a core question: is being Aboriginal enough? Enough to make sense of life, enough to identify as a proud and free member of an ancient people in a society that stole its land, denied its richness and crushed its sense of identity?
