By Janene Hancock (MED)
September 12 2003 will long be remembered as a day when reconciliation between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people became a reality and not just rhetoric.
At Risdon Vale, a community based in the valley not far from Risdon Cove, Lia Pootah people and Bowen Descendants mixed together in harmony and friendship.

TAC TERRIFIED
My My My the TAC (Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre) must be terrified of the Lia Pootah Community. In the Mercury 10 September 2003 they have brought out their biggest gun a hoodwinked premier who they have hog tied in such a fashion he is unable to make any rational decision concerning the Tasmanian Aboriginal Community.

7 AUGUST 2003
We would like to thank the Mercury for not giving us the opportunity to respond to the allegations printed in the Mercury 7 August 2003 before they went to press. There is nothing like a biased one sided attack on people to inform the general public with factual happenings.
It is rewarding when the Tasmania’s leading newspaper can constantly report information that isKayehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04260975096100630111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5670899.post-1060815677635754852003-08-13T16:01:00.000-07:002003-08-13T16:06:00.410-07:00To: mercury
Subject: Preamble debate
10 June 2003
The black armband history for Tasmania demanded by so many historians and the TAC completely overshadows the real history in Tasmania between the new arrivals and the original people. Yes Tasmania was invaded, an already occupied land cannot be settled. Yes atrocities were perpetrated against a large percentage of our Aboriginal Ancestors, and Kayehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04260975096100630111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5670899.post-1060815235937209942003-08-13T15:53:00.000-07:002003-08-17T21:31:08.406-07:00LIA POOTAH DELEGATES MEET RUDDOCK

19 February 2003
Land is fundamental to Aboriginal spirituality, land is what defines every Aboriginal dreaming. Aboriginal people are tied body and soul to the land of their birth nurturing their spirit.
Jim Bacon claims understanding of this most basic need and responds “the Labour Government is committed to land hand back”.

For the whole of Aboriginal Australia white histroians have a lot to answer for. Everyone in the world knows that we all do dot paintings and play the didgeredoo.
