I don’t need to travel to everywhere and speak to everyone to know that the consensus among most Aboriginal peoples is for the date to be changed.

You however maybe need to listen to more voices than one elder. Because you are actively arguing against what the majority want, and your reasoning is borderline racist implying they’re not authentic because they exist in a western system.
