Document Summary

Called mission house now- place where missionaries gather. Mission house* means to convert the aboriginals to christianity. By turning them christian so they don"t have to go to hell. Negative lonely dark place inhabited by the missionaries. I felt so young and empty, one side missionaries one side natives. Schools important - teaches a child how to behave. Colonial school - imposition of values no lee way, forceful structuring. School house on the week church on weekends. Lose contact with the history by erasing the language. Squirming out of the desk, instinctively running from the change. Don"t undertsnad the teachings due to differences in language. Different in what is done to them instead of done for them by the missionaries. Outside, the black forest was still, too, but with a vibrant stillness tense with life. From my bed i could look one storey higher into the balsam pine.
