“You gotta know where the fish are running” – Uncle Jimmy
2. Different ways of doing things
Here are the five key learning points from DJ’s story about political parties:
- Different groups have different ways, like different families have their own fishing methods
- Each party has their own ideas about how to do things
- They all say they want to help community, but you need to watch what they actually do
- Traditional ways should be respected by any group making decisions
- Choose groups that understand and work for what community needs
