Aboriginal people are proud of what they have created and who they are, of having a history and culture of their own and standing up for them with dignity.
For example, the attachment First Peoples have to the land, an important value, now allows them to be leaders in defending the environment and inspire the entire population to take care of the Earth. That’s something to be proud of!
Aboriginal achievements in the arts (crafts, painting and sculpture, music, poetry and literature) have long reflected their values and cultures. Today, the worldview that Aboriginal people express through art inspires new creators, Aboriginal or not, who blend these cultural roots with other influences to produce original creations.
In short, today’s Aboriginal people can be proud of having preserved their cultures, but also of being major influences around the world and in all areas
