Hi @Shazab

 

Welcome to this thread - and don't worry about offending anyone - I believe the Indigneous People honour our interest if we treat them with respect

 

I too feel sorry for the time that has passed and I have not followed up learning about more of their culture. It is 30 years since my son died and I have had many ups and a lot of downs since then - but I recognise that it is time to start getting interested in the past of a child who was adopted out of his traditions without my knowledge - I would have done anything for him but I did not have proof of his race until many years after he died

 

I had not heard about Aboriginal Lines - or Dreamtime Lines - I thought at first it was Dream Times - but it is quite easy to see that the cultures of our First People are as complex as our imaginations can be - and that Rainbow Serpent - that is someing archetypal to many cultures - perhaps all cultures - and something to be awed about

 

Don't worry about typos here - sometimes they are funny - mostly we let them go - the content of what we write is important - not the perfection
