So, suppose you live an interesting life and somebody decides to write about it.  We don't call this 'stealing your story'.  We call it 'writing your biography'.  You can refuse to endorse it, you can set the set the record straight, and you can write your own version.  But what you can't do is stop other people from writing about you.

It's wonderful if aboriginal authors tell stories about themselves and their neighbors and ancestors in a distinctive voice.  It's not so wonderful if they try to keep anybody else from writing about these things.  Luckily there is room in the world for more than one version of the same story, and more than one story about the same person or thing.
