I dunno if you are interested, but he came from the most northerly part of Australia, east of Cape York, where it was in the past too hot for the white man (which now sounds strange just to say it, but that is how it was).
I can't recall (from the lyrics of Dajimirri) a more dignified and restrained resistance to what they went through.
It has been said that the influence of Methodist music was important to him.
New Zealand is different to and better than Australia. When the marriage equality bill was passed the entire parliament stood and sang the national anthem in the Maoari language together.
