I’m Samoan & I watched The netflix movie of Mabo & HONESTLY! I thought I was watching Fijians 😍 Until i realised half way through the movie that they were actually Torres straight Islanders. & I was soo amazed at the culture ! The way you guys sing .. Similar to my Partners culture , CookIslands ☺️ !!! and funny fact! I never knew what a Torres Straight Islander was. I moved to Australia Melbourne in 2011, I’m originally from NZ... & I always wondered what Torres Straight Islander was thought you people were Aboriginals lol. But very different! You people are much more like Our People.. Pacific Islanders. Loved this movie!!! & Your culture!! 😍😍

One love... We have similar cultures to varying degrees. Let's support & love each other because this isn't a pleasant world!

Thank you I'm a Torres Strait islander too 💓 also it's not straight it's strait and I really appreciate this comment, I found it a little bit funny when you said you didn't know what a Torres Strait islander was😅

[@sopa6326]

Lot's of love, me myself being a proud Torres Strait Islander. Also it's **Aboriginal peoples** not Aboriginals, but I'm sure you're not trying to be disrespectful :)
