General Discussions

Yep
Definitely the latter
I've probably had more contact with indigenous people over the last forty years than most on this site.
I've had discussions with Teachers, teacher's aides, students, parents and elders.

The argument is not so much on the rights of equality, respect and acceptance as the best method to achieve that.
That varies considerably from a semi-militant approach to a discussion and education.

Do you change minds by shaming, threatening, belittling or by educating.
And the task of educating is often best handled by those directly affected with the experience to tell their stories.

I agree with pretty much all that. But I'm not sure that a site like this has any educational value. I would say that irrespective of whether I or others take a softly softly approach, or a tougher approach, the chances of changing a mind with either are basically zero. By the time people get to this site, opinions and values, beliefs etc. are pretty much set. I don't think anyone on here has any capacity to influence folks. But those Sea Eagles players do absolutely have that power.
