minus-squareAussiemandeus@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year agoYeah my family and i are all indigenous, we just spent the weekend at an traditional funeral that went for 5 days. Every person there wanted to voice to go through. But there was this rhetoric that indigenous people didn’t want it. I dont know a single one who was anti the voice, only numerous white people who kept saying that all us indigenous people didnt want it.
