Rosalie Kunoth-Monks inspires with her Q&A speech: ‘I am not the problem’ | News.com.au: “You know I have a culture, I am a cultured person,” she said, peppering her speech with words in her native language.
“I am not something that fell out of the sky for the pleasure of somebody putting another culture into this cultured being,” she said. “John (Pilger) shows what is an ongoing denial of me.”
“I am not an Aboriginal, or indeed indigenous, I am ... (a) first nation’s person. A sovereign person from this country.
“I speak my language, and I practise my cultural essence of me.
“Don’t try and suppress me, and don’t call me a problem, I am not the problem.”
