18.01.2022 Blessed healing journey this week. Up to week 4 of 8 weeks we learnt about being aware of our bodies. As women who have been through alot of trauma even generational. We learned about different coping mechanisms like deep breathing. After learning in the class room setting we go outside and practice what we learnt on country. Marigurim Mubi Yangu in Butchulla means Strong Women Talking, that's who we are

16.01.2022 Over the next 6 days leading up to #InvasionDay2021 I’m going to post stories of Aboriginal Warriors from the frontier. Warrior 1: Dundalli In the 1840s, white... settlement in the north was under attack. European settlers were in awe of Aboriginal physical fitness and fighting prowess, and a series of deadly raids on homesteads made even the townspeople of Brisbane anxious. Young warrior Dundalli was renowned for his size and strength, and his elders gave him the task of leading the resistance against the Europeans' ever increasing incursions on their traditional lands. Their response was embedded in Aboriginal law and Dundalli became one of their greatest lawmen. With his band of warriors, he had the settlers in thrall for twelve years, evading capture again and again, until he was finally arrested and publicly executed. Warrior is the extraordinary story of one of Australia's little-known heroes, one of many Aboriginal men to die protecting their country. It is also a fresh and compelling portrait of life in the early days of white settlement of Brisbane and south east Queensland. 'An enduring record of one of our greatest heroes.' - Sam Watson, activist and writer Information from Warrior A legendary leader's dramatic life and violent death on the colonial frontier Libby Connors

04.01.2022 In the lead up to the 26th of January #InvasionDay2021 I will post Aboriginal Warriors from the frontier. Warrior 2:Wayler "two sealers... told me of the amazon... named WALYER that headed a tribe and would stand on a hill and give orders to the natives when to attack the whites, calling them bad names and telling them to come out and they would spear them."The emergence of such a female leader, at the time an unprecedented event, says much about the way Tasmanian Aboriginal society was breaking down. Throughout the island the traditional power structure was collapsing. Strong individual personalities were increasingly coming to the fore; it seemed anyone with the charisma to lead could do so. Like Musquito and Black Tom before her, this woman, sometimes known as Tarereenore, had had extensive experience with Europeans.Walyer was originally captured by the sealers as a slave for sexual purposes (Tarereenore actually meant sealer's woman). She used her time with these men to learn English and to master modern weapons. Returning to her people, she amassed a band of eight warriors about her, and began to attack white settlements. Walyer ‘boasted... how she had taught the black fellows to load and fire off a musket, and instructed them how to kill plenty of white people...’The record is sketchy, but Walyer appears to have behaved quite ruthlessly towards white and black alike. There are reports of her threatening and murdering rival tribal groups by subterfuge. When Walyer was recaptured it was considered to be"a matter of considerable importance to the peace and tranquillity of those districts where she and her formidable coadjutors had made themselves so conspicuous in their wanton and barbarous aggression."In 1832 Walyer escaped, and was once again a terror to the area.She carried a little fowling piece and would fire at the white men's huts and call them to come out and the blackfellows would spear them... There is a vague report of her being speared in the back by another Aborigine, but it is inconclusive. : Julie Dowling
