On her first day at school Susan’s learns you can’t take your identity for granted. Susan is a proud Indigenous 6 year old, whose fair skin and red hair contradict the stereotypical appearance her young classmates expect. From her first day at school she is thrown into the painful dilemma of thinking she has to choose between the acceptances of her disbelieving school friends or defiantly claiming her “Goori” identity. Susan’s mother has a solution, a Birthday Party.
