Foxy,
Is that so ? How about providing some examples that are now evident as being a positive outcome of her "Work" ? I'd love to be proven wrong for only seeing her as a stirrer & saboteur in the reconciliation process ! Posted by individual, Friday, 12 June 2020 1:23:16 PM

http://www.womenaustralia.info/leaders/biogs/WLE0773b.htm http://www.womenaustralia.info/biogs/AWE4416b.htm This should clarify things for you. Posted by Foxy, Friday, 12 June 2020 3:07:58 PM

Individual,
My husband says I should spell it out for you as reading the links appears to be a difficulty for you. Here goes: Prof. Langton is more than an academic and teacher of Indigenous studies. She's also an activist and has achieved a great deal during her lifetime apart from publishing a tremendous body of knowledge on Indigenous issues and subjects, she has also: 1) Made a significant contribution to both government and non-government policy and administration re- Indigenous people. 2) During the 1970s she was active in the Women's Liberation Movement drawing attention to the oppression of black women. 3) She continued her activism to work for Aboriginal causes and became a key participant in the WIK Land Rights negotiations which were conducted during the late 1990s. 4) She has appeared in both film and television portraying strong Aboriginal characters - and advertising not only the plight of her people but the strength of their characters. 5) She was made a Member of the Order of Australia for her services as both an anthropologist but also as an advocate of Aboriginal issues which she continues to do to this day. There's more on the links I gave that explains her qualifications, work, and activism. All you have to do is read. I can't be responsible for your comprehension skills though.

You seem to be selective in what you read and who
you listen to or are influenced by. Hence your opinion is understandable - though very narrow
and deserves to be ignored.
