We Remember Them

We will remember the first brutal contact that Our Ancestors had with the invaders of another country – a country that couldn’t look after their own people.

A people that brutally and savagely took this Sacred Land away from us.

A land that we cared and nurtured just as ourselves.

Our Ancestors were murdered – massacred in family groups – raped, tortured and dispersed from our families, culture and Sacred Lands.

Our Ancestors were moved from Sacred Lands to far, far away places and onto others’ Ancestral Sacred Land, never to see their families again – let alone practise their Spiritual Beliefs, Practices and continue our culture and responsibility to Keep The Land Sweet.

Our Ancestors could not defend their family, loved ones and communities against the thrust of guns they’d never seen before. So many perished!

Our Ancestral menfolk were taken hundreds of miles away from families to go and build the new experiment the British were engineering – Gaols and Genocide.

Our Ancestors have passed on now but have handed on the “message stick” that our Nation still has responsibility to land. Responsibilities of the landscape on top of the ground. The responsibility to acknowledge that We Don’t Own The Land but The Land Owns Us and if we don’t look after her, She will not look after us. We and our Ancestors all around the world all have this responsibility to care and nurture the Sacred Earth of which there is only the One that we can live on.
