I'd gathered something like that. That is truly impressive. I once did a
good deal of research on Koori (Australian Aboriginal) history, and
supported the land rights struggles, but I never achieved that sort of
honour. I believe there is an immense amount the rest of us could learn
from the Tribal Peoples about a proper attitude to nature and to each
other (sharing, caring, etc). A Koori high school headmaster came to our
critical realist conference last year and immediately understood far
better than any of us what Roy Bhaskar means by 'spirituality'; the two
got on like a house on fire.
