Whitefella Culture by Susan Hagan

This is a book about culture, about whitefella culture and about Aboriginal culture. Culture is more than songs, paintings and ceremonies. It is more than houses, clothes and tools. Culture is the way we think, the way we act, the way we feel about things.

We learn a lot of our culture when we are children. Our parents teach us by the way they act and by the things they say. They teach us how to fit into our own culture.

This book is not saying white culture is better or Aboriginal culture is better. They are just different. Whether we are Aboriginal or white, we share many things in common, but our cultures still teach us to act differently and think differently.

The stories in this book are about an Aboriginal community. They are stories about an Aboriginal family and some white people who live in that community. These are made-up stories, but they are like real things that happen to real people
