John Baxter: ‘Being an Aboriginal, I think it gives a great deal of pride and sense of purpose as well. So a lot of the work I do is going out into the community and talking with people, whether it be school groups or senior citizens. Making those connections in the first place and saying, well yes, there are a lot of good strong Aboriginal people around, they have got their head in the right place and they can not only have a good in-depth understanding of the past, but also look forward to the future as well as signal that there are brighter tomorrows, and as a collective group, that we can change the attitude of people to our kids and grandchildren and nephews and nieces to give them better opportunities at life than we had, I suppose … that’s important.’
