- Fairgate homes --> Indigenous people need to own their land
- Home - a traumatic place
- Home - reconnection and healing
   --> a new beginning

2.
- nature: healing of the traumatic past
- bonfire: rekindling with family
- water: healing of the traumatic experiences
- City: unhappiness, injustice, racism --> transgenerational trauma

3.
- Running Wolf: Wolf who is driven away from his home and keeps changing places --> Lena
- Lena is a lonely wolf who is returning to her pack
- connection to migration of aboriginal people: Indigenous people were forced to leave their homes due to colonisation]]> 2021-05-31 14:58:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ncamachob88/ug01n439bbjat9y5/wish/1573808286 https://padlet.com/ncamachob88/ug01n439bbjat9y5/wish/1573809618 1. Family not only connected to blood. There can be family in other people, their actions and the responsibility they take. She accepted herself and her family, her blood.

2. She was at one point ashamed of her background and the issues that come along with it - their "history of failure, history of screaming, history of taking responsibility." 
Definitions of "Empire"
- "Empire" understood as a land/country.
- "Empire" as a group/a family.
- "Empire" as something that is embraced because it is powerful.

3.
- "home" for indigenous is the same as "home" for not-indigenous people  --> everyone embraces coming home and feels welcome and accepted
- it may be easier to get lost if one has no connection to his/her background and family
- it can be problematic when conveying the issues of Lena and her family to every indigenous person/family --> they can also find family/home/the feeling of being welcome somewhere else (e. g. in the Western society) but it is not something that happens automatically
