Our Hearts Are Breaking - Invasion, Conflict and Resilience

This piece reflects the complexities of dealing with the multitude of issues that affect Aboriginal people today as a result of past policies and practices in Australia. Projected through this piece are my feelings of wishing these issues could be resolved in a simple way ... how much I wish it would be as simple as going to a medicine cabinet to fix these problems for my people.
