22.01.2022 Report identifies further damage to NSW Aboriginal sites from mining https://www.msn.com//report-identifies-furthe/vi-BB19CZlS

19.01.2022 Pansy Sambo always knew the land she was born on was special. But she never expected the country she loved would make strangers rich while, at the same time, splintering her community. Mineral-rich expanses of Western Australia's Pilbara region have been home to her ancestors for centuries the ridges and valleys all forming part of the Yindjibarndi dreaming stories.... "There are footprints of our family our ancestors have left on this place," she said. "I was born out there in the bush." Pansy remembers a time before iron ore, before compensation deals, meetings with lawyers a time when her homelands felt "free". The sacred red plains are now interrupted by long trains, ferrying valuable commodities for the likes of Rio Tinto, BHP and Fortescue Metals Group (FMG). "Since mining has started they put gates, locks, on country," she said. "You are restricted to pass on the knowledge to your children, to your grandchildren."
