24.01.2022 MESSAGE FOR THE DAY :-)

24.01.2022 Beautifully filmed in the Shoalhaven, ‘Walking on Country’ captures the unique experience of what connection to Country means to a number of individual Aboriginal community members of the region. The video highlights a strong message that connection to country is a vital element of Aboriginal people’s cultural heritage, identity, spiritual beliefs and affinity to the cultural landscape. A Project by Shoalhaven City Council Proudly funded by NSW Government Produced by Blackfisch Films

23.01.2022 Djaki Kundu is an Ancient and Sacred Kabi site at Gympie. Djaki Kundu is a Seven Sisters Dreaming site, and a healing site. Many people refer to it as 'The Gympie Pyramid'. For many years Kabi Elders and the Kabi Guardians of Djaki Kundu have been fighting to save our ancient sacred site from destruction by the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads, who have planned to obliterate Djaki Kundu by constucting bridges and roads in it's place, and they intend to enga...ge in destructive works beginning on the 25th January 2021. The current Minister Mark Bailey MP is aware we have the right to protect the site from destruction, but in our honest opinion he appears not to care for Kabi rights. The minister has recently sought a 'mediation', to discuss our access to the small area he claims he will avoid, subject to his intended scheduling of the destruction of the rest. Obviously that is unacceptable! Destruction of 'Aboriginal cultural heritage' is unlawful in Australian Jurisdictions, as are acts of genocide. Kabi Guardians intend to preserve the basis for Kabi religious and spiritual beliefs and the history and identity of the Sovereign Kabi Tribes of Kabi Bunya Djha, at Djaki Kundu. Kabi Elders appreciate your support, and your sharing of this video. You can contact Kabi guardians of Djaki Kundu (also known as 'the Gympie Pyramid), on our Kabi.Dreaming facebook page.

23.01.2022 Traditional owners in the Gulf of Carpentaria have had their native title officially recognised after making a claim in 2012. Key points: The Gkuthaarn and Kukatj people have been granted native title rights to about 16,000 square kilometres of land in Normanton It means they're now legally entitled to hunt and fish on pastoral land... One pastoralist opposed the claim but has settled on an Indigenous land use agreement The Gkuthaarn and Kukatj people's claim was finalised yesterday during a consent determination that recognised the traditional owners' right to more than 16,000 square kilometres of land in Normanton. Applicant and Gkuthaarn woman Leanne Edwards said she was pleased to finally get the recognition. "Any native title process takes years to get determined," she said. "You have to keep giving evidence to non-Indigenous people proving that you belong to country, which is hard when you're an Indigenous person trying to explain to a non-Indigenous person your spiritual connection to a country." https://www.abc.net.au//native-title-granted-to-/12714522

17.01.2022 A different way of thinking I wake up "DEADLY" & I walk around "DEADLIER"

17.01.2022 Bilbiljim - the place of the grasshopper dreaming - has been restored as the official name to the hilltop peak that stands at the centre of the traditional la...nds of the Miriwoong people of the north east Kimberley region of WA. In 1885, this highest peak in the local landscape was re-named Mount Misery, after the six weeks Surveyor H.F. Johnson camped there waiting for a farrier's leg to heal from injury. But the mountain means so much more to the traditional owners of the land, the Miriwoong people. And is certainly not a place of misery. The restored name honours the traditional owners and recognises their cultural leadership and authority in this area. Restoring the traditional name of Bilbiljim is one way to recognise the unbroken connection of the Miriwoong people and of their cultural identity that is so clearly tied to this landscape. The strong cultural life of the local Miriwoong people kept the memory of this important site alive in the songs, stories and paintings of the local people. This restoration of the traditional name Bilbiljim has been a long time coming, and I’m so proud that our Government was able to help deliver this significant change.

13.01.2022 The artwork featured on the Seven Sisters coin is from Wajarri-Noongar artist Christine Jugarnu Collard of Yamaji Art. Christine was born and raised in Mullew...a, WA and paints under the name Jugarnu meaning old woman in the Wajarri language. The name was given to Christine by her now deceased Grandfather. The Yamaji people of the Murchison region in Western Australia refer to the Pleiades star cluster as Nyarluwarri in the Wajarri language, representing seven sisters. When Nyarluwarri sits low on the horizon at sunset in April, the people know that emu eggs are ready for harvesting. The story of the Seven Sisters tells of them fleeing to the sky to escape the advances of a man who wants to take one of the sisters as his wife. The man chases the sisters as they move from east to west each night, which appear to the northeast at dusk in November and set by April.

12.01.2022 The Wiradjuri of central NSW are the largest Aboriginal language group in the state and one of the largest in the country. Wiradjuri astronomical knowledge is r...ich and complex, linking the land and people to the cosmos (Wantanggangura). One of the many dark constellations is that of the celestial emu, called Gugurmin. The emu is a silhouette of the dark spaces stretching from the Southern Cross to Sagittarius in the backdrop of the Milky Way. The galaxy itself is a river called Gular (or Gilaa), which is also the Wiradjuri name of the Lachlan River.

06.01.2022 The Aboriginal Sunrise Ceremonies are very special to our people. It starts when the sky is black, beautiful black. When the sun's yellow circle arrives, it tur...ns the sky red. This is why the Aboriginal flag is half red, half black with a yellow circle in the middle. At the Sunrise Ceremony, I meditate and ask the Great Spirit for direction. My hands fill with electricity. I touch you and you feel it, too. I heal people this way. My Grandmother did that, too. I learned all about that when I was a young fellow. Umbarra, the Black Duck, is the special totem of our tribe, the Yuin. We learn to respect the Elders who hand on the Law. The Elders guard the Law and the Law guards the people. This is the Law that comes from the mountain. The mountain teaches the dreaming. Guboo Ted Thomas, Australian Aboriginal Tribal Elder
