The beautiful 'My Island Home' by the Warumpi Band.
Lyrics:
Six years I've been in the desert
and every night I dream of the sea
they say home is where you find it
will this place ever satisfy me
for I come from the salt water people
we always lived by the sea
now I'm out here west of Alice Springs
with a wife and a family
and my island home
my island home
my island home
is a waiting for me
in the evening the dry wind blows
from the hills and across the plains
I close my eyes and I'm standing
in a boat on the sea again
and I'm holding that long turtle spear
and I feel I'm close now
to where it must be
my island home
is a waiting for me
for I come from the salt water people
we always lived by the sea
and my island home
my island home
my island home
my island home
is a waiting for me
in the evening the dry wind blows
from the hills and across the plains
I close my eyes and I'm standing
in a boat on the sea again
and I'm holding that long turtle spear
and I feel I'm close now
to where it must be
my island home
is a waiting for me
my island home
my island home
my island home
is a waiting for me (repeat)

What does skin colour have to do with it? Saying I don't know shit because of my skin colour shows you how racist you are.
Be proud of your heritage by all means, but don't put other people down for their skin colour.
I don't normally respond to racist people, so think yourself lucky.
