Thanks Foxy, bad weather over the ditch, looks like we'll spend tonight in Auckland, down to Roto tomorrow. Got relos to call on in Auckland no problem, so a bed is always there.
Hi Joe, what can't be embellished, changed or altered in any way is the basic fact" "Three girls walked the RPF in the 1930's." I hear what you say about recollection, but I accept that basic fact, what transpires in the movie, the finer detail, is not all verbatim fact. Can you accept that, otherwise the whole story is a lie. Posted by Paul1405, Saturday, 11 March 2017 6:27:00 AM

Dear Paul,
I don't accept that the whole story is a lie. Aboriginal history has predominantly been written by non-indigenous people from a non-indigenous point of view. There is so much more available today that we can access The following link may be of interest: http://www.creativespiritis.info/aboriginalculture/history Posted by Foxy, Saturday, 11 March 2017 7:07:42 AM

Dear Paul,
I've come across an interesting person - Jane Resture. You may be interested to Google her biography. Anyway here's her link on the famous Aboriginal author, poet, and grand lady - Kath Walker: http://www.janesoceania.com/australia_great_woman_kathwalker/index.htm Is everybody lying?

What about starting a new thread instead? Starting with evidence, although that poses some real leaps of faith too it would appear,
"The construction of Aboriginal history: fact or fiction?"
