“Intergenerational denial” – Dr Katrina Kell – Descendants Day
"Researching and critically analysing my ancestor's role in facilitating the theft of Gunditjmara land and the abhorrent treatment of Aboriginal people in South-Western Victoria has been confronting but also cathartic. I believe all non-Indigenous Australians must face this nation's violent past with honest and critical eyes. We must contribute to the truth-telling process and ensure there is justice and reparation for all First Nations Peoples by acknowledging the crimes committed by our colonial ancestors."
