THEY CALL ME MONKEY - GORDON CHARLIE, DINGAAL CLAN ELDER





















"THEY CALL ME MONKEY,"  GORDON CHARLIE, DINGAAL CLAN ELDER, QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA

"Yah, ya.  They still call me a monkey.  They always say I'm a monkey… And government people,,,everywhere I travel they call me black.  Monkey, monkey don't own this.  You don't own this land.  We own the land.  We own the land.  Not you."  

Gordon Charlie, Dingaal Clan Elder and Custodian of traditional customs and laws.
