WHY HAVENûT YOU COME AND SEEN THE NYUNGAHS? YOU NEVER
APPROACHED US AS YOU WOULD A WHITEFELLA.
WHERE DOES IT SHOW ON ANY OF YOUR RECORDS THAT ANY OF YOU
HAVE HAD THE COMMON DECENCY TO COME AND SEE US?

PRESENCE OF OUR SACRED SPIRITUAL DREAMINGS IN THE LOCKRIDGE
LAND AT PYRTON?Please reply.
Everything and all these proposals should stop until youûve
