We are going to claim this day, for the Aboriginal Female Identity. Not sure exactly what it will be called. I had discussed this idea with The Honorable Iona Campagnolo, and her advise to me, was that she hoped I would take all steps necessary to ensure it gets done!

So, on that note, part of that day, will be to make a public acknowledgement that from this day on, from this year on, the Spring Equinox will be dedicated to RECLAIMING the ABORIGINAL FEMALE IDENTITY DAY!

No longer will we dictated by what others determine us to be. No longer will the memory of our sisters be dictated by those who will never understand the connection Aboriginal women have, not only to this land, but to the creation of this country.

Today, the steps are being taken that Aboriginal women are reclaiming our collective Identity as women of strength.
