My 2020 Blogging from A to Z Challenge revisits my best posts from the 2014 to 2019 Challenges.
I’ve been interested in and inspired by ‘Native’ or indigenous people for decades. In the 1980s, I campaigned with tribal human rights organisation Survival International, when I was editor of ‘New Ground’, a green-socialist magazine. I’ve worked that concern into some of my writing, including the world of Gossamer Flames.
This post was echoed in later years, as in 2015’s First Nations during the War of 1812. Does my interest in Romany people for another North Wales case relate? Or just on human rights?
Anyway, all the research nuggets unearthed while I was creating the game-world for my novel ‘Wyrm Bait’, evolved into my post-apocalyptic saga Gossamer Flames. And the research is ongoing as always useful – and interesting.

I share your interest in indigenous peoples. And too often cringe at what has been done and what is still being done to them, to their lands, and to their histories.

Those of us in a better situation, EC, have to speak out for those much maligned indigenous people.

Considering what has been done to indigenous people everywhere, including where I live, it’s a good thing to learn what we can. Nice to know you got some ideas for your writing!

The pattern of negative behaviour towards indigenous people worldwide is frightening. Sue – and it still goes on in so many place. I’ve learnt a bit about the treatment of the Indigenous Australians over the centuries, and always been shocked – they are such inspiring people too.
