my ancestors in ireland were of celtic blood, and my ancestors in england were of mixed germanic and celtic blood. my roots are firmly planted in northwestern europe, but i am descended from those who came here over 200 years ago and made australia home. my family spans back 11 generations here, and as such, native indigenous elders have told me i am native to this land, according to their customs. i am proud to be australian and i am also proud to have such a rich heritage and culture, with deep cultural connections to the land i walk on as well as a deep genetic and cultural connection with the thousands of years of blood and soil from my ancestors in northwestern europe.
