22.01.2022 Sadly our week in Moree comes to an end. Yarns with family, community, old and new friends made this trip to Gomeroi Country a special one. We remember the KBH Uncles who as boys were kidnapped from here, the uncles who were sent to properties here and the uncles who returned here and whose families will always be part of the KBHAC Family. Unlocking our past to free our future, the journey continues. . #miyaybirray #dhiiyaancentre #PiusX #AboriginalAffairsNSW #truthtelling

21.01.2022 Another great resource from our friends at the Healing Foundation. A continuing and deeper understanding of the experiences of our Stolen Generations elders is so important as they continue their journey of truth telling and healing

20.01.2022 Something to watch on a Sunday afternoon This virtual time machine is allowing people to see what Indigenous Australia looked like before colonisation with Bilbie Virtual Studios. Created by the amazing Brett Leavy a descendant of the Kooma people whose traditional country is bordered by St George in the east and Cunnamulla in the west, Brett’s dedicated his working life to cultural knowledge recording and the industry of communications. His digital work seeks to represent ...the arts, cultural stories, heritage, traditional knowledge and histories of First Nation people using new, immersive and interactive technologies. Keeping with the theme, there's a lot of discussion around the changing of place names back to their traditional names (what a great step that would be) and the article below is a great resource for those interested in what significant places were known by the traditional custodians of that land https://www.abc.net.au//james-cook-250-anniversar/12251968

20.01.2022 We second and third that

19.01.2022 The fight for justice continues and how powerful would it be for the site of Kinchela Boys Home to be returned to our Uncles to become the healing centre they want it to be Yesterday August 16 marked a very significant day in the fight for Aboriginal land rights. On that day in 1975 then Prime Minister, Gough Whitlam poured soil into the hands of senior Gurindji man Vincent Lingiari to mark the return of more than 3,000 square kilometres of the Wave Hill cattle station to ...his people. 54 years earlier on 23 August, the Gurindji people of the Northern Territory made their name across Australia with the 1966 Wave Hill Walk-Off. A landmark event that inspired national change: equal wages for Aboriginal workers, as well as a new Land Rights Act. Although it did take almost two decades, the Gurindji also became one of the first Aboriginal groups to reclaim their wider traditional lands. Many people know a small part of the walk-off story because of the song From Little Things, Big Things Grow about 200 stockmen, house servants and their families who walked off Wave Hill Station on 23 August 1966, in protest at appalling pay and living conditions. What is not widely known is that the walk-off followed more than 80 years of massacres and killings, stolen children and other abuses by early colonists.

10.01.2022 #FreeTheFlag Many of you mob have probably been following the issues around the copyright currently placed on the Aboriginal Flag. It's come to a head over the last week with the announcement that during the AFL Indigenous Round this weekend the flag won't be displayed at AFL grounds due to copyright laws.... A non-Indigenous business, WAM Clothing purchased the rights to the flag's design in 2018, and has since courted controversy for profiting from its cultural significance. Created by Indigenous artist Harold Thomas in 1971, the flag was granted 'Flag of Australia' status in 1995, under the Flags Act 1953, however copyright or licensing was not pursued by the government and we now find ourselves in the position that licensing fees need to be paid to both WAM Clothing and Harold Thomas for it's reuse. There's a petition currently active to have this issue resolved and for the federal government to intercede to make changes to the current system and potentially purchase the rights to the flag. https://www.change.org/p/australia-change-the-licencing-agr

09.01.2022 Thanks to the Kempsey Neighbourhood Centre Inc for hosting lunch today for some of the KBHAC Board members as well as showing us the 'Healing Hearts' initiative which allows family to make their own headstones for their loved ones who have passed.
