Jimmy Little - Messenger


Well its that day again when many celebrate the nation of
Australia and many don't instead celebrating survival
and remembering the begining of a series of crimes
against their people.
And many of us stand in solidarity with the first nation
people of this great southern land


For myself I'm one of those, no waving the british flag for me
It is also the day this blog began, 10 years ago today I made
my first post and I still do every 26th of jan mark this time

career was the inspiration for many indigenous artists after
