1 Two Tiddas Susie Anderson , Alice Anderson , 2018 single work life story
— Appears in: Growing Up Aboriginal in Australia 2018; (p. 5-11)

This chapter is a conversation between sisters Susie and Alice Anderson.  They discuss important aspects of their lives as they were growing up with an emphasis on family and school life. 

'S: What did it mean to you, when we were younger, that we're Aboriginal?

A: Well, I don't ever really remember being sat down and told, 'Hey, Alice, guess what, you're Aboriginal.' For some reason it was an unspoken understanding. It was as much of an understanding to me that I had ten fingers and ten toes or the fact that I only had one parent. I guess when you're a kid you just don't question the why so much. Things just are.' (Introduction)
