Summary
Barbary Clarke and Jason Clarke, descendants of Alfred Deakin and William John Turner, also known as Big Clarke, discuss aspects of their family’s history with Australia. The first aspect is about how both their ancestors and they themselves have lived unconsciously, failing to understand the cultural protocols that should have been observed from the start in interacting with First Nations people of this country. The second aspect is what they are doing to act consciously and with integrity in this country.
