“To my mind, you cannot speak about the need for leadership within our communities without being prepared to take on responsibility yourself. It's not enough to point the finger at those who have let us down and to expect others to come forward and fix our problems. Nor can anyone afford to call themselves a leader unless they truly have the interests of our community at heart. Too many people like to think they are leaders and too many are identified by the media as leaders who are not really leaders at all.” PeopleThinkingNeedsMindHeartEnoughProblemSpeakInterestCommunityResponsibilityLeaderMediaDown AndPreparedFingersOur Community Author:Jackie Huggins
“It's a very Aboriginal thing to do, to give younger people greater responsibilities within the community as they become able to take those responsibilities on. It is a culturally appropriate transfer of roles that involves respect in both directions.. from the younger to the older and the older to the younger.” PeopleGivingAbleCommunityResponsibilityRolesGreaterThings To DoAppropriateTransfersAboriginal Author:Jackie Huggins
