The old people always say, the land don’t belong to us, we belong to the land

The battle by the Indigenous people of the Pilbara region in Western Australia to preserve 50,000- year-old rock art sites and sacred cultural heritage from the ravages of a booming mining industry.
The Burrup Peninsula (or Murujuga), in the Pilbara region, holds the largest concentration of rock art in the world, dating back over 50,000 years.
An ancient landscape so sacred that some parts shouldn’t be looked upon at all, except by Traditional Owners.

Director, Tyson Mowarin shows how he and the people of the Pilbara are fighting back, by documenting the rock art, recording sacred sites and battling to get their unique cultural heritage recognised, recorded and celebrated.

FIRST NATIONS PEOPLES: WHAT RECOGNITION, 26th October, 6pm, Leichhardt Library, Italian Forum, Piazza Level, 23 Norton St.

FILEF invites you to an information evening on current issues concerning the First Nations Peoples, with particular regard to constitutional recognition, land rights, and the Intervention.
• In 1972 the Aboriginal Tent Embassy united Aboriginal people throughout Australia in demanding national land rights and mobilized widespread non-indigenous support for their struggle.
• 45 year later, many of the demands for justice of the First Nations remain unanswered.
• In May 2017, the First Nations National Constitutional Convention in Uluru agreed on their
fundamental demands and issued the Uluru Statement from the Heart.

Speakers:
Ken Canning, a Murri activist from the Bidjara Nation in Queensland. Chairperson of the Indigenous Social Justice Association and founding member of Jumbunna Indigenous House of Learning at the University of Technology Sydney.

Adam Sharah, from Guringai Country in New South Wales, land rights activist against mining companies. He is a contributor to the Brisbane Blacks publication and proudly associated with the Brisbane Aboriginal sovereign embassy.

Lizzie Kruise, managing support to urban Indigenous youth for Marrickville Youth Resource Centre, which offers a variety of services for young people.

Screening of excerpts from two iconic documentaries:
Ningla A Na – Hungry For Our Land, about the events surrounding the establishment of the Aboriginal tent Embassy in Canberra in 1972.
