Arch Nelson Address<\/h4>\n

\u2018To be or not to be … literate: A personal story\u2019<\/h2>\n

By Heather D\u2019Antoine, Menzies School of Health Research<\/h4>\n

Abstract<\/h4>\n

Literacy is an essential aspect of our everyday lives and it is embedded in just about everything we do.\u00a0 Being literate is something that many of us take for granted. I do! For many Aboriginal people, being able to read and write is not something taken for granted. As an Aboriginal person, I see this playing out, to some degree in my own family. Some of my ancestors could read and some couldn\u2019t.\u00a0 Thanks to them, I have been literate most of my life and I enjoy the benefits of being literate. But for my young relatives, I worry about it. My Arch Nelson address is a personal story about literacy in my family, an Aboriginal family, throughout the generations.<\/p>\n
