The Inward Place

An inward migration can also be thought of as closing one's country, sealing off the home place in the mine from others. It is through an inward gaze that we go back to country in thoughts and in dreams. We return to talk with the spirits about how the deep feelings of culture can be thought through,. compared with our knowledge of the world. The results of our long struggle to achieve a self-determined future during this time was disastrous. A remote community's loss then has not been regained.
