For this activity, please identify someone in your life who is a role model to you. This could be a parent, grandparent, neighbour, minister, imam, rabbi etc. Please ask them to share one piece of wisdom (advice) with you that they think you and your blog readers should hear.
I admire so many people but the first one to come to mind was Stephen. This quote really stuck to me because there was a time in my life where I hated myself more than I hated anything and anyone else. I am thankful that I was able to overcome that part of my life and only wish to have heard this sooner. At least I am able to share this with all of you who are reading this!! If you'd like to hear the quote, here you go. Skip to 5:06.

Amazing Job on finding out facts and Info about The Ainu People and The Australian Aboriginal People. Also the theory about Australian Aboriginal People is amazing the theory that their people came out of africa 70,ooo years ago is amazing.
Great Job Riiana

Thanks for completing these 3 activities in one blog post, I'm going to comment on your third activity, Wise Words.
I'm so happy that you've picked Stephen - although I have no idea who they are - I completely agree with what they have said about loving yourself. I'm glad that at your age you've come to realise the importance of self-love - I'm sorry to hear that you once had so much hate for yourself, that's really sad. However, I can empathise with you, I too haven't always loved myself and I'm not completely sure where this stemmed from but it's something that I try to work on every single day. I hope to love myself completely some day soon. Any advice?

Hiya Jordan!!
I'm not the best at advice but I think that you should dedicate time to yourself. Don't feel forced to do things for others if you're not happy with it.
Also know that you can't be the best you everyday. Some days you will slip up and that's okay. You just have to learn to accept that.
I hope this helps somewhat. Let us both try our bests at loving ourselves completely!!

Hey Riiana
Great job as usual on completing these SLJ activities. It's sad that indigenous people like the Ainu and Aboriginals are very low in terms of population. The way that these two groups have been treated isn't right. What do you think could be done to help them out? Keep up the good work.

Hi Riiana,
Love the activities that you did. The whakatauki is great and one I will remember and use. I love your interpretation of it. Everyone has their own interpretation, mine is that sometimes you need to look at the past to prepare for your future. You learn from the past to create a better future but it doesn't mean you carry the past into the future - do you know what I mean. Anyway great learning.
Kia ora Mrs Hamilton,
Yes I know what you mean. That's a great way of seeing the quote!
Thank you for commenting!

Hello Daniel!
For starters, the government could return the land that was stolen from them and reinstate their rights as indigenous people.
Kind regards,
Riiana
Hi Riiana,
I liked how you gave a very detailed explanation on who the Ainu and Aboriginal people are, and what's happened to them. I also liked how you included lots of pictures of the two communities. Would you want to join one of those groups?
Kia ora Alex,
I don't know how to answer this question. No? I'm already an indigineous person. I'm Maori!
