| Introduction | I was born a true double Aquarian, on the 17th of February 1953, in the small town of Pinjarra in Western Australia. My parents gave me the name Kelvin Paul McKenney. It wasn't until 1988 that an aboriginal elder bestowed the name NgAng upon me. His grandmother had told him, as a small child, that when his hair was silver, he would meet a white man with white hair and he would know him as "NgAng" by his words and his ways. Two years later I learned that NgAng means "Peace" in the Nyoongar aboriginal dialect from the region of my birth. Since Peace is an important goal in my life and work, I am proud to wear this name. |
