Just a reminder.

Revolution is based on Land. Land is the basis of all indepedpendence. Land is the basis of freedom, justice and equality
-Malcolm X

Genocidal intent has never ceased anywhere that the Colonial project is still active.

[DRMNGNOW @drmngnow]

My people walked off the Cummeragunja Mission to arrive in Mooroopna in 1939 to resist colonial inclusion.

They didnt wait for colonial endorsement to make a Sovereign path for us. They paved the path by walking in accordance with our ancestors ways.

I am a product of that

[DRMNGNOW @drmngnow]

As long as we are still here. There will always be conversations to be had. Some new some older. Just like we have kept on inspite 200 years plus ongoing cultural genocide.

@DBCooparello @CroweDM An odd perspective given so called Australia was developed based on Laws that were designed to create a White Australia.

First Nations are being short-changed in Labor's latest Basin Plan deal. While billions are spent delivering an extended plan, First Nations must share dwindling funding for water rights. Our Chair has co-authored a piece the @ConversationEDU

Intrinsic to being a Sovereign  is that it is inherent.
It requires no Yes endorsement, nor is it stopped by a No.

[DRMNGNOW @drmngnow]

See plans they still singing
From strands connected
To sacred
Prisms..
That shine still
That shine still
Spoken in the stillness
Spoken they reveal
Gifts..
But first we must listen.
First we must listen..

[DRMNGNOW @drmngnow]

The spirit is still living
Within rythyms
That could break down this prison of illusory  systems..
But first we must listen
First we must listen..
To what ancestors still giving..

[DRMNGNOW @drmngnow]

One of the most lethal colonial injections of all perhaps is the erosion of connection to sovereignty & custodianship through distraction.

Sorry means you stop investing in the desecration and destruction of Sacred Indigenous Land.

Case in point the current 2 billion dollar Labour endorsed Coal Seam Gas Investment in the Beetaloo Basin.

@MerribekCouncil you have chosen to be on the right side of history.

But alas not without blood sweat + tears of all mob involved. These things seldomly just happen if at all without our peoples fierce advocacy.

But alas look forward to more of this

@MerribekCouncil you have chosen to stand on the right side of history.

Love and respect to all mob.that lobbied and worked on this shedding blood sweat + tears again + again to reach this outcome.

Looking forward to more councils seeing the light.

Uncle William Cooper walked on the German Embassy in dec 6 1938 on Kulin biik in solidarity with Jewish people as they were under siege from nazi Germany.. Unc showed what Indigenous leadership and custodianship is truly about. A universal inclusive love , consideration + care.

[DRMNGNOW @drmngnow]

Shall we be conscious of branding things as decolonial that are in fact assimilationist.

[DRMNGNOW @drmngnow]

Our Indigenous Excellence Always was and Always will be predicated by our Cultural values and processes. Doing the right things Culturally. That is what sets us apart.

[DRMNGNOW @drmngnow]

Question the cultural process always. Thats just due dilligence.
