Protected: In My Blood It Runs x Garden House School

Thank you for screening our film in your classroom. Dujuan’s and his family’s story has inspired classrooms around the world to look deeper into the beauty, strength and resilience of Arrernte and Garrwa cultures and also to understand more the injustices faced by First Nations, Black, and other people of color around the world. As key advisor, Elder and chair of Children’s Ground, William Tillmouth says:

“We need to protect ourselves and our children. To protect children is to empower and strengthen the family and the community to fight this ever encroaching contest for space. To rediscover and regain the confidence of our agency and our right to choose. We need to encourage their empowerment and their participation in two-way learning in order to recapture all that is rightfully ours. To recolonise the place that history has denied us. Space to be ourselves in mind, spirit and soul. Space to be who we are and always will be. To be Aboriginal in our Country, in our own land, Aboriginal land.”

These and other key messages from family and community have echoed around the world as countries and classrooms pick up the call for a more just, honest and equitable education so we can work towards a society where proper and in depth inclusion is the status quo not the exception.
