My ancestry is Captain Cook, and Okanasa.
You can not apologize for what you can not undo.
If you step on a spider,
even the finest science of the times can not rebuild him.
He is dead.
You can not fix the aboriginal culture of Australia.
Unless all the white folk leave.
Or at the very least most of them,
those who can't deal with the real culture that is Australia.
American Indians only liked alcohol as it was perscribed to them by the europeans who would deride them for it later.
They had earth, water, herb, animal, and sun...never needed a shot gun,
They get blamed for their 'weakness'
Which was their sense of oneness.
Here is the parallel.
They trusted our ancesters and they vanished. The culture, and their continued existence on this little husk of an island diminished to what it is today.
They thought we were like them and they incorporated us, while we decimated them.
Violently.
There was never more than a pretense of equality.
"We own them." the settlers said.
Stolen lives on stolen land.
And hey, we have so far been very nearly successful in achieving our ancestors goals.
American Indians are dying out quickly.
As are Australian Aboriginals.
White men allow them their culture,
what they had,
the water the land,
what was free....
and then considers himself gracious,
as he bequethes the useless desert spaces to them.
"Look I even got a picture of one of them,
and here's some shit they painted.
I don't get it, but I totally respect it."
He apologizes but he still keeps his nose in their business,
his house is on their land.
They don't want his help,
or need it nearly as much,
as they just need him to go away.
No need bro,
no need for apologies.
We don't want nothing from you.
But what you took away.
Easy.
Simple.
Equal.
Just get the fuck off of our island,
or keep the promise you pretended.
