20.01.2022 Before our white brothers came to civilize us we had no jails. Therefore we had no criminals. You can’t have criminals without a jail. We had no locks or keys,... and so we had no thieves. If a man was so poor that he had no horse, tipi or blanket, someone gave him these things. We were to uncivilized to set much value on personal belongings. We wanted to have things only in order to give them away. We had no money, and therefore a man’s worth couldn’t be measured by it. We had no written law, no attorneys or politicians, therefore we couldn’t cheat. We really were in a bad way before the white men came, and I don’t know how we managed to get along without these basic things which, we are told, are absolutely necessary to make a civilized society. - RedHawk - Seeker Of Visions

10.01.2022 The north coast is mourning the loss of Uncle Kevin Torrens who was a loved and respected Elder of the Western Bundjalung people. [Advisory: Posted with the per...mission of Mr Torrens' family] Most knew Mr Torrens as a softly spoken man, who brought a gentle but persistent persuasion to being a trailblazer, committed to improving the lives of his people. In 1982 when he was one of New South Wales' first Aboriginal teacher aides he started the preschool at Tabulam - and with parents and the Education Department provided a place for the Indigenous and non-Indigenous children of Tabulam to learn and play. For 12.5 years he was part of the Aboriginal cultural support and case management teams of the Balund-a Program, the world's only correctional facility where offenders are sent to live and work before they are sentenced, in a bid to keep them out of prison. He was a cultural mentor to residents and his work colleagues. The story in this video post was another pioneering achievement. When Mr Torrens' ageing father-in-law Ernie Hickling asked him to get back the lands of his ancestors, it seemed like an impossible mission, but he succeeded against all odds. That property called Jubal was among the first land purchases in the early years of the Indigenous Land Corporation's buy back scheme. "Those early ones are significant because in those first few years it was about building the Indigenous estate," Ms Button said. The team at ABC North Coast send our condolences to Mr Torrens' family, friends and the Bundjalung peoples.
