Thank you to @teelareid @heart2heart_journey 🙏🏼❤️ for letting me share her beautiful image and incredible article from the Griffith review with you guys. Below is an excerpt, and please head to the link in bio to read the full article 🙏🏼
.
“IN WIRADJURI LANGUAGE, my native tongue, Gari Yala means ‘speak truth’. Speaking truth is a hard task when you live in a country that denies the truth of its past. If you listen to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples ‘from all points of the southern sky’, Gari Yala talk is omnipresent.
.
So as 2020 strikes, marking 250 years since the invasion of Indigenous lands, is Australia ready to Gari Yala and reckon with its past?
.
Let’s be clear: Captain Cook did not ‘discover’ the continent known as Australia. This must be the starting point for any dialogue about the relationship between the Australian state and the many First Nations that have never ceded sovereignty. Being honest about our past means having this difficult conversation, and it raises the question: is Australia ready for reckoning, not reconciliation?
.
Get ready to show up for this.
.
A groundswell of everyday Australians is inexorably gathering in solidarity with First Nations Peoples to use 26 January to mark Invasion Day and the survival of the oldest living cultures on the planet. The consciousness of the Australian people is shifting, despite a lack of national leadership – the people are ahead of politicians when it comes to confronting the truth about our past and the ‘rightful place’ of First Nations in our national narrative. The resistance of First Nations in 2020 symbolises the power and presence of peoples who cannot be erased in a mere 250 years”
.
Please take the time to read the entire article in my bio. And I ask my fellow Australians, my Instagram family, influencers and friends to please use your voice and platform to speak up for the First Nations people and against the racism here in this country 🙏🏼 I love you all so much 🖤💛❤️
