The Land - Aboriginal Art Lecture
Ars Mystica: Dreams, Devotions, Magic & Miracles
A presentation by Hilary Martin, OP, DSPT Professor Emeritus Philosophy and Theology
Free and open to the public.
From the beginning of European occupation of the Continent, land ownership has been a source of contention for the Natives. The value of the land is perceived differently by each group. For the aboriginal person land is not purely economical. It was given to them by their ancestors and it has religious value.
Grant me, O Lord my God,
a mind to know you,
a heart to seek you,
wisdom to find you,
conduct pleasing to you,
faithful perseverance in waiting for you,
and a hope of finally embracing you.
Amen.
St. Thomas Aquinas
