DECOLONISE

A podcast about Blak Sovereignty. In our seventh episode we're yarnin with Gurridyula, an epic warrior and custodian standing for the reoccupation of land at Waddananggu to protect culture. As original sovereign people of a vast area of unceded land in the Galilee Basin in Central Western "Queensland", Waddananggu is standing to protect land and water from Adani's Carmichael coal mine that is interfering with ancient lore and custom. Our lands everywhere are hurting, and we are being called on urgently to ignite this healing process. Our lands need to be well for our people to be well. Our ancestors are waking us up and we are responding. Decolonise is about the wellbeing of everyone: Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and non-Indigenous. We all need to take part. It’s time to Decolonise. Time to unsettle the settler. Time for our internal revolution. __________________________ CREDITS Executive Producer: Jaja DareEdit & Sound Mix: Josh CoomMusic: Rise of the Phoenix. Gurridyula Sound Engineer: Melissa Hunt.
