Definitely on the right track man. Tysons magic is in the haptic, the relation of body(mind) to earth through action. This is the indiginiety of acting in relation with the land (country). I come from a nurse and engineer, so making and caring (through the body) is natural. We find healing can take place through the action of making (something useful). Collective healing of the collective trauma will take place on the land through the process of making(growing) the things that we need to live. Something like joyful hardwork.
Not disagreeing, but the mantra of hurt people hurt people, is a bit hard, and not something that is good to generalise. A lot of very hurt people manage to heal, with some serendipity and very hard work. They, and a lot of the people you mention, become a bit like the undead, they return, not easily, but with some understanding that can only come from darkness. Hurt people can hurt people, but hurt people can also help other hurt people find a way out. Sorry to say this. I know you’re doing good work.
Hey, hey, hey I am one of the others and I've got my own contacts too and this is exactly what I am working on. I'm using appropriately aquired indigenous knowledge to address systemic trauma by teaching people the foundations of indigenous systems thinking because that's a thing that existis in reality and can be taught and integrated. It would be lovely to connect with you.
It's really great to hear this analysis. Thank you so much. I have recently come to a similar conclusion about 'original trauma' and its profound repercussions through the ages to the dire state we are in. I have tried to illustrate this journey through a short set of poems called 'cleave', tracing our original traumatic separation, how our sense of lack has compelled us to accumulate, how we colonise the past present and future to sustain the now, and how we might address the situation by becoming indigenous once again. I imagine the original traumatic separation as analogous to the separation at childbirth, adding a dimension of personal trauma to social trauma.

Actually, I think what Paddy wrote is very effective.
It leads the reader to think, contemplate and (possibly) react.
"Hurt people hurt people" as a statement is clever (structurally) and even a little elegant.
It is a truth... but not without exception - as you have explained with your story of another truth.

Just a thought, what if we changed the word 'forgiveness' to 'acceptance'?
