Reflections from the Cape York Immersion\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n
\n

The best trip I could have ever taken, this immersion to Cape York, taught me and gave me a greater understanding of Indigenous culture from a different perspective than my own.<\/p>\n

This trip really changed my view of Indigenous culture in Australia. It showed and taught me about the different types of viewpoints from the two different elder groups we visited. Melsonby (Gaarraay) elders shared with us the history of the land their home was on. We saw amazing rock art and the stories behind them, with one of them being about the medicine man and how people who were a part of the community would go there to be healed and cared for.<\/p>\n

After ten days of immersion, it really showed me a different view of life and how not everyone lives in the city and not everyone gets the same benefits as we do.\u00a0<\/p>\n
