What Indigenous culture can teach us about respecting our elders

So is there something to be learned from the cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people — cultures where eldership is highly respected?

Worimi man Paul Callaghan says there is. He knows first-hand the essential role Elders play in their communities.

His Elders gave him "solace and support" when he endured racism growing up in Karuah on the NSW coast, and urged Callaghan to continue his education when he felt like quitting.
