When Google can't help, ask LJ

Does anyone happen to know where I can find / what has happened to Raphael Carter's androgyny resources? I'm taking part in a discussion which I think would benefit from a link to that material, and I can find lots and lots of references to it but not the RAQ itself or any related original stuff. I really hope that has not vanished from the internet...

Anyway I'm thinking that there are several people on my flist who are as likely to know about this as anyone, so it's worth a try.

Encountering Aboriginal culture

I was very aware of issues around Aboriginal culture when I was visiting Melbourne. I have a fairly muddled set of impressions, not a coherent view on all this, and I'm sure I'm not saying anything terribly original but not at all sure I can say anything without offending someone.

For a start, even the terms Aboriginal and culture are problematic. Most people involved in this sort of political issue seem to use the word Aboriginal, including the couple of people I met who were of Aboriginal heritage themselves. But a couple of times I got glared at for using it: I think you'll find the word is indigenous. Please be assured I don't intend any disrespect by the term; I'm very much an ignorant outsider here. And as for culture, there are problems with that too. I take erudito's point, but I want to use the most intuitive term I can think of to indicate the kind of things I want to talk about, which I think normally come under the heading of culture.

( Anyway, with that disclaimer in mind )
