A gentle  activist and a spiritual innovator, Guboo believed that everyone, black and white, could share the Dreaming once they truly respected the land and began to open their hearts to her mysterious teachings. His mission was to make Aboriginal spirituality relevant to the 21st century. It was a message that many in black Australia were not ready to hear. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.kooriweb.org/foley/heroes3.html"><P>His teachings took him around the world many times, with not a penny in his pocket, and made him friends among many cultures.
