Although more than half of Indigenous people are Christians, very few have read or heard the Bible in their ‘heart’ language.

According to research, 6 or 7 Australians in every 10 have never actually engaged with an Aboriginal person, and many Aussies are still in the dark about our Aboriginal history.
