Every island or area has their own 'tagai'. This song follows the tagai as a metaphor for destiny, for 'your path'.

Lorraine Peeters shares her story

'Feel the Fire' is the third Music Video in the 'Identity Matters' series produced with Indigenous students from Catholic Education across Queensland. The song was written in collaboration with students from Emmaus College and The Cathedral College in Rockhampton.The students expressed their desire for me and other non-indigenous people to share in their history, embrace their culture and feel what they feel....and I certainly felt it. I was deeply moved by the pride and connection that the students felt for their culture. Its a privalige to have worked with all the amazing young indigenous people in Toowoomba, Cairns, Rockhampton, Ipswich and Brisbane. Thanks for sharing your lives, opening your hearts and most importantly making me feel a part of the mob!!

Yurntumu-wardingki juju-ngaliya-kurlangu yawulyu: Warlpiri women's songs from Yuendumu.

This series consists of four short films in which Warlpiri women sing, dance and tell the stories of different ancestral beings who travel across Warlpiri country. Each part contains footage of these women singing, painting their bodies with red and white ochre and performing the accompanying dances. The first part presents the Minamina yawulyu and tells of group of ancestral women as they emerge from Minamina, in the far west of Warlpiri country and begin their journey eastwards. Part 2 presents the songs and stories of the Watiyawarnu ancestors from Ngurlulirri-nyinanya, to the north-west of Yuendumu, telling of their travels as they search for varieties of acacia seed, grinding them and making seed cakes along the way. Part 3 presents the famous songs and story of the two Jangalas from Warlukurlangu whose evil blue-tongue lizard father lights a raging bush fire, forcing them to run away southwards out of their country before they return home, weak and exhausted. And finally, part 4 presents the songs and stories of the Ngapa ‘Rain’ Dreaming that travels westwards across the country to the north of Yuendumu. Warlpiri women from Yuendumu have presented these yawulyu so that the songs and their associated knowledge can be remembered and performed by future generations of Warlpiri women. These films appear on a DVD which comes as an accompanying insert in the book ‘Yurntumu-wardingki juju-ngaliya-kurlangu yawulyu: Warlpiri women’s songs from Yuendumu’ (Batchelor Institute Press, 2017).

Yajilarra Festival 14th-15th July 2023

Created as part of an ongoing mentoring program young people from Collarenebri, NSW and Desert Pea Media - a charity organisation working with communities around Australia since 2003.

LYRICS

The sun comes up on the land of red dirt
The land where the black man done the legwork
This is dedicated to the years of pain
Collarenebri Crew come change the game.

Colli Crew’s back with a new track for ya.
Way up north up on the QLD border
Learning those lessons from the very first bora
The fact is we ain’t no flora and fauna

The Colli Crew’s black with a new track
Survived invasion, segregation and the act
Almost taken but it’s coming back
Change comes from you, from me, from us and that’s fact.

On Australia Day we celebrate the invasion.
Claiming Terra Nullius all over the nation
Disease, Myall Creek, that dislocation
Kamileroi people - here since creation

That’s him my ‘lation - there’s truth in my words.
Mobs rounded up, forced onto reserves.
Stolen from your family, taken away to school
No rights, can’t go to restaurants or the pool.

It’s a new track
Those true facts
It’s a new age
React.

Look up
Don’t look back
Because the next step
Is up to us

Colli Crew’s back with a new track for ya.
Way up north up on the QLD border
Learning those lessons from the very first bora
The fact is we ain’t no flora and fauna

The Colli Crew’s black with a new track
Survived invasion, segregation and the act
Almost taken but it’s coming back
Change comes from you, from me, from us and that’s fact.

We had Cooper, Patton, those freedom fighters.
1965 - those Freedom Riders
Change came running’, they exposed the failure
To bring a new dawn all over Australia

1967 that recognition.
That citizenship for the mob on the mission
Stopped needing permission - got paid for workin’.
Shout outs to Mabo and Charlie Perkins

So we’ve come a long way - there’s a long way yet.
So look to the future but never forget
Get ready, get set, the real test is now
If you’re looking for change, the next step is OURS

“No way, welfare ain’t gunna rule me”
Them old fellas fought hard for these opportunities
Take responsibility - step up and step out
Make very single one of our people proud.

Desert Pea Media is very proud to announce a new release from the Barkindji community of Coomealla/Dareton in Central West NSW. This production brought together an incredible group of community members, Elders and young people enrolled at Coomealla High School, to create an important conversation about mental health, suicide and wellbeing.

This project was part of an ongoing DPM project series called ‘Break It Down – Conversations around Mental Health’ funded by Western NSW Primary Health Network. The program looks to create awareness and conversation around wellbeing – breaking down stigmas of mental health, yarning, debriefing and connecting community with local health services.

‘Where The Eagle Roams' was created in November 2018, the result of a five-day Desert Pea Media storytelling workshop. Co-written by, and starring, an incredibly talented group of Indigenous young people enrolled at Coomealla High School, community members and local Elders - with support from DPM staff and local services.

Desert Pea Media projects involve a dialogue-based storytelling process that encourages participants to analyse 'the real', 'the ideal' and 'the bridge'. In simple terms this means critically thinking about how to create positive change for yourself, for each other and for our communities.

This project featured the musical direction and production of DPM producer Josh Nicholas (aka Hazy).

Special thanks to Project Manager and our new brother Jaharlyn Mitchell and Rarnie Spencer from Coomealla Health Aboriginal Corporation (CHAC). Huge thanks to John Jackson from Mallee Family Care, also to Kylie Mitchell, Simone Spencer, Pip Neagle and the staff Coomealla High. Special thanks to Aunty Geraldine King and Aunty Rose Reid, also Damion Kennedy and the legends at Barkindji Maraura Elders Environmental Team (BMEET) and all the community members for making us feel welcome on Barkindji Country, sharing your stories and collaborating on such an important and inspiring project.

LYRICS

We come from - Coomealla it’s the Barkindji Crew
Out in the bush we get in trouble coz there’s nothing to do
Makin our lives into something brand new
We all stand tall, and there’s nothing that you can do

Belong to red dirt country, where the rivers meet
Move your feet from Namatjira Avenue to Tapio St
Shake a leg on the back streets, hot concrete
My black feet, show respect when the elders speak

Pooncarie Settlement to Coomie Mish
Tharlta is kangaroo, parntu for fish
Keep it tradish, my people at a stand still
Massacre, trauma, buried at the sand hill

This my land still, and we still true
We still fight despite all of the pain that we been through
The grief too, but bra there’s nothing we can’t do
We black, strong and proud, get it through your thartu (head)

CHORUS

I go with the sun and the moon
Gotta follow my dreams, but I’ll be back soon
Where the eagle roams, that’s where I go.
Yo – follow ya ancestors to get back home

Everybody got a knife in the back, we all carry these bags of stone
I take one step forward then it’s three steps back, remember that you’re never alone
Suicide is on my mind - it’s taking up my time - this depression kickin’ in from behind
Gotta stop this violence, gotta break this silence, but this anger and judgement is clouding my mind.

Violence, disrespect, wanna run away
Don’t belong, don’t really wanna connect
If I don’t, I’m lost, I lose myself
I lose this culture I need to protect

Get it into your head, and stopping hating (yep)
No matter which opportunities I’m takin bred
Where my relations (check) from the start of creation (yea)
Come together – we one nation yet?

Passages from the Bible describe God as the Father, God as the Son and God as the Holy Spirit with accompanying songs by Indigenous artists and illustrated with Bible Story pictures and scenery photographs from Australian Outback communities.

This story “Angwenhe impatye?” Whose footprint?, has captured the essence of the centre, the Arrernte language, the landscape and the animals living here. The theme of the video highlights all of this and more- young children are always asking questions, love repetition, surprises and more stories.

In 2013 CAN WA set out to encourage a group of Noongar students in Narrogin to learn their traditional language.
Aboriginal artists and mentors were engaged to deliver a program where popular culture, such as music and media was used to inspire these teenagers to learn to speak and write Noongar.
Noongar Pop Culture presented by Act-Belong-Commit, is a CAN WA project in association with Yirra Yaakin Theatre Company and part of CAN WA’s Strong Culture, Strong Community program.

Seatbelt Tjura is a Anangu stop motion film spoken in Pitjantjatjara, an Indigenous Dialect. Milpa Project under the guidance of the Spinifex Arts Project. The Milpa Project is located in Tjuntjuntjara community, one of Australia’s most remote Indigenous communities, 650kms east of Kalgoorlie in the Great Victoria Desert. The Milpa Project’s core group of Anangu* artists include Timo Hogan, Kumanara Stevens and Sophia Brown.

Pitjantjatjara is a dialect of the Western Desert language, spoken by over approximately 3000 people across Western Australia, South Australia and the Northern Territory.

The artists started working together in May 2018 a community driven, artistic response to a very serious issue affecting many Indigenous communities across Australia. Multiple driving offences such as not wearing a seatbelt, driving without a license or driving an unroadworthy vehicle are resulting in large fines (and in some cases incarceration) for a significant number of Indigenous Australians. In the Great Victoria Desert communities, where English is often a second or third language, this can be partly attributed to the limited Pitjantjatjara language educational driver resources available. The Milpa Project has enabled the artists to respond to, and address this serious issue through education via their artwork. By creating puppetry, multimedia and storytelling in Pitjantjatjara language the artists along with multimedia artist Ange Leech have produced short animations and artworks enabling each artist to share their ideas and stories with community.
* Anangu ‘local community members’ Pitjantjatjara

The Milpa project would like thank all those involved with the development of the project.
Milpa is funded by the Spinifex Arts Project, Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body and AngloGold Ashanti Australia Ltd. The Spinifex Arts Project is supported by the Australian Government Indigenous Visual Arts Industry Support (IVAIS).
Milpa thanks the on-ground sponsorship support from the local Tjuntjuntjara community and organisations including Paupiyala Tjarutja Aboriginal Corporation and Tjuntjuntjara Remote Community School.

Dodge City Boyz: Cruising Back To Turkey Creek

One day, right before her 14th birthday, Joy Wandin Murphy woke up with a bad feeling. She refused to go to school. She had an unshakeable sense of dread that something was going to happen to her father. Joy was eventually permitted to stay home, and her father passed away that same day.

It was a turning point for Joy. In that moment, she knew with absolute clarity that they had lost a great man and that to honour him, she had to give back somehow to her community. ‘From there it was indelibly printed that I had to do something, but at that point, I wasn’t sure exactly, what’, she recalls.

Joy Wandin Murphy is a Wurundjeri elder and Woiwurrung language teacher, based in Healesville, 60km east of Melbourne. Joy's great-great uncle was William Barak, the last traditional ngurungaeta (elder/leader) of the Wurundjeri-willam clan. Joy’s father, Jarlo Wandoon, attempted to enlist for World War 1 but was rejected on account of being Aboriginal. He proceeded to re-enlist under a whitefella name, James Wandin, and went on to serve overseas.

It’s with this same tenacity that Aunty Joy has applied herself to her work. She is committed to promoting positive relationships between the Indigenous and non-Indigenous community, and to strengthening the Woiwurrung language. Joy frequently gives the traditional ‘Welcome to country’ greeting at Melbourne events and was invited to be the creative artist and lyricist for the Opening and Closing ceremony songs in the 2006 Commonwealth Games. Among other accolades, Joy was made an officer of the Order of Australia in 2006, for her service to the community, particularly the Aborigines, through ‘significant contributions in the fields of social justice, land rights, equal opportunity, art and reconciliation’.

Joy currently teaches the Woiwurrung language to Year 7 and 8 students at Healesville High school and mentors her sister, Doreen, who also teaches language and culture at the school. It’s a pilot program funded by the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development. It will be supported until the end of the year. Beyond that, Joy is determined to find the funds to keep the program going.

Joy was taught the Woiwurrung language by her aunt and uncle, the older siblings of her father. 'Uncle Frank spent a lot of time with us and although he was a very quiet man, he would say a word, and it would just penetrate. You just never forgot what he said and how he said it,' she recalls. Joy knew that most of her generation had totally missed out on language, and she felt a responsibility to pass it on to the next generation.

‘It’s a very proud moment when you’re able to teach not just Wurundjeri children, but also non-Aboriginal children, because we are about educating everyone. And if we share the knowledge that’s been handed down over all those years, then we hope that can bring a much more harmonious community.’

In a remote part of Australia live some rare and threatened animals. One such animal is the shy bilby. Once common across Australian deserts, the bilby is now endangered. It’s last stronghold in the wild is in Martu country. Martu people are the traditional owners for this bilby country.
Martu rangers working with Kanyirninpa Jukurrpa look after country using Martu ways and whitefella ways. They protect endangered animals like the bilby. Introduced animals like feral cats, foxes and rabbits threaten the bilbies.
Large hot wildfires also destroy their food and cover from predators. Martu rangers put a remote sensor camera outside of a bilby burrow to capture some of the life of a bilby.

Mark Bin Bakar shares his story

In Yolngu culture dance plays a pivotal role. There’s ceremonial dance, celebratory dance and then there’s Marryuna; to dance with no shame, to freestyle for the sheer elation of dancing.

Marryuna is the second highly anticipated single from Arnhem Land’s ascending hip hop star Baker Boy.

Directed by Daniel King, shot on location in Melbourne, VIC.

Song Nation Volume 1 - Track 5

'For My People' was written, recorded and shot in just four days with young people from Collarenebri, NSW as part of the Song Nation 2013 storytelling tour of Australia.

The Colli Crew are a group of "diminutive, yet razor-sharp rappers" from Collarenebri - a small town in northwest NSW situated on the banks of the Barwon River.

The crew has developed as part of an ongoing Desert Pea Media mentoring program in Collarenebri since 2010, in partnership with Collarenebri Central School. - 'For My People' is the 7th track from The Colli Crew in four years, and the first independent Colli Crew production.

This song was created over four days in August 2013, and features Michael Graham aka MC Boomali (Gamilaraay word for 'strike with power'), who has been a standout participant in Colli Crew projects throughout most of his teenage years.

Over the years, MC Boomali has developed from a participant to an artist in his own right - something we are all very proud of. Having just turned 18 - this young man knows about hardship and struggle, yet continues to make good life choices and be a strong role model for his community.

MC Boomali says "It's about standing strong and not giving up - representing who you are and where you're from - believing in yourself and knowing yourself. Respect my old people till my last breath. WORD!"

'For My People' is an affirmation of the power of self-expression. A story about a young man who has found a voice in music, has found pride and strength in his cultural identity, and uses that power to educate, empower and inspire his people. We'll be seeing a lot more of this young Gamilaraay warrior in the future. Believe that.

Special thanks to John McGregor, Roslyn McGregor, Adrian King, Peter Baum, Janet Mason and all of the Collarenebri elders that have supported the programs from the beginning.

We pay our respects to the Gamilaraay people - traditional owners of the country upon which this story was told.

LYRICS

Well you don't have to be a copper or black tracker to see that
Unstoppable -- droppin' on the top of the drum track
Jump like ya sat on a thumbtack -- WHAT?
It's the Colli Crew come back - been there, seen and done that.

Rugrats - wiser and older
Night gets colder - boy turn to soldier
Life behind the eye of the beholder
Copped the cold shoulder, roll on like a boulder

Just like I told ya - break the chain
The Colli Crew back, come Change the Game
Haters gunna hate -- Jealous gunna blame
Attacking from the back will turn a rapper to a renegade.

Let 'em say what they gunna say
Colli Crew any day - Is it a bird or is it a plane?
Fact is - ain't much changed
Colli Crew pump like blood in my veins

Gotta stand strong for my people
Gunna rap till they make it illegal
Gotta say my piece, gotta chase my dream
Look -- Colli Crew back on the sequel

I'm about 5 foot 2
Gamilaraay boy, black from my cap to my shoe
Back rappin' on the mic for you
Stat. Cuz - how do you do? Flash, fresh. How bout you?

Colli Crew what?
I'm eighteen and my dream - is to spit from the cliff top
Colli hip-hop got it zip locked - gone through the gift shop
Me and my brother from another mother will lift off.

Wait. Did y'all think I forgot?
I got dissed because I rapped and tried to be something I'm not.
The colour of my skin is how they used to get their win
They be like "oh he's light how bout we just pick on him."

Let it begin - I'm a fair skin brother
Yeh my old man's white - I had a black grandmother
Got a handful, a mad crew of bad black brothers
We stand alone, but got strength in numbers

I been doing it tough. Bruz. Yup.
Head down, eyes red - by my mother's bed
A Murri understand life and death
Because they ain't coming back once they put to rest.

But what's next? I promised my mum I'd never stop
So I ain't gunna stop - until I'm sitting at the very top
Calling shots. Representing my mob.
Head down, fist up. Gamilaraay. Full Stop.

Gotta stand strong for my people
Gunna rap till they make it illegal
Gotta say my piece, gotta chase my dream
Look -- Colli Crew back on the sequel

Desert Pea Media is honoured to present 'The Island'. An archival film production from 2019 - created in collaboration with the Bwlgcolman and Munburra Community of Palm Island, co-created by DPM film makers, Mitch O'Hearn and Toby Finlayson.

This production was created as part of a broader project, produced and facilitated by visionary charity organisation - Desert Pea Media. The project series was called 'Break It Down - Community Conversations around Wellbeing' - funded by the Northern QLD Primary Health Network.

Before watching, please be aware that this film is not an easy yarn.

'The Island' is a brave, real and important conversation about the impact of grief and trauma on Indigenous Australia - specifically around Aboriginal deaths in custody. We wanted to make sure that you are aware of the content of this story - as it may be triggering for some people ❤️.

Please reach out to somebody if you need support.

'The Island' was Co-Directed, Shot and Edited by filmmaker - Mitch O'Hearn. We thank you brother for your artistic integrity, commitment and passionate work with our DPM family over the years.

Special thank you and congratulations to the Doomadgee family, and all of the Palm Island people and families, whose generosity of spirit, resilience and love make these films possible.

For the final bulletin of the 2024 NAIDOC News, we take a look at:

• Youth Ball

• Port Augusta NAIDOC March
• National NAIDOC March in Adelaide

Thanks to all you mob for tuning in this week – and in the words of Dre, "always, always remember to stay deadly!"

Desert Pea Media is very proud to announce a new collaboration with the Yaegl community in Maclean/Yamba, in the Lower Clarence Valley of the North Coast of NSW.

This production was created over 7 days in December 2019 - an outcome of of a unique, collaborative creative process with Desert Pea Media artists, local Original Nations young people, community members, Elders, High School staff and local services.

The overall purpose of the project was to facilitate an important, inter-generational conversation about social and emotional well-being for Original Nations young people in 8 communities around the North Coast. The project is called 'Break It Down - Community Conversations Around Well-being' - funded by North Coast Primary Health Network.

Desert Pea Media projects involve a dialogue-based storytelling process that encourages participants to analyse 'the real', 'the ideal' and 'the bridge'. In simple terms this means critically thinking about how to create positive change for yourself, for each other and for our communities :)

The connections created during this project with the community and local young people are friendships that the DPM team highly value and respect. We as a team feel deeply honored to learn, share and create with the Yaegl community. These projects not only uplift and inspire audiences and community members, but everybody involved.

'Being, On Country' was directed and shot by filmmaker Mitch O'Hearn and edited by Roy Weiland. We thank you both for your artistic vision and awesome work.

Special thanks to Uncle Ron Heron and Shane Eamons, staff at Maclean High School and all of the Yaegl Elders and community members for having us on country, and making us feel so welcome.

Each year cowboys from across the Kimberley load up their saddles, chaps and wranglers to go rough rising. Some are locals born and bred in the saddle, others are young riders from over east who come to munster through the dry. These are the real cowboys who ride day in and day out, mustering the rough and wild country of outback Australia. But come rodeo time they're all chasing the same dream.... 8 seconds of glory.

Baker Boy is the freshest new Yolngu hiphop talent from Northern Territory Australia who is proudly rapping in Yolngu Matha language representing his Arnhem Land families. This song is an example of the real Aussie Hip-hop!

Baker Boy had a huge hit last year with his dance track 'Yolngu Style' and has bounced back with his first rap track. Teaming up with gun up 'n' coming producer Tobiahs Fakhri and getting killer chorus featuring 14 year old Kian Brownfield on the hook. This track is so infectious and good luck with trying not to play it on repeat.

'Baker Boy' the Fresh Prince of Arnhem Land!!!

Cloud 9 Lyrics
(Lyrical translation the Yolngu Matha to English !)

Intro Adlibs
Baker boy in the town

Verse 1
Don't be shame

Don't turn ever turn back on god
way gela (skinned name) it's your turn to look after the sisters because I stay really far in the cold
keep your head strong
we gonna fly high like and eagle
don't wanna see no ego
don't think about it let go
just hold on to my hand and let's go
I am baker boy young man not a boy
you can't control me like a toy
im a human being just like you and me
we are family stop the jealousy
come with me now, break it down, North side of town,
Stop being the clown, be the person that chases the crown
coz at the end of the day youll be found
so never back down.

Pre chorus
You wanna be as good as me? Boy you better practise
Step back feel the power of my blackness! x2

Chorus

Verse 2
You look each other with jealousy

You gotta stay strong no dout,
the bigger the crowd the bigger we are
coz the internet changes the line,
coz they they dont want us too divide
from the human race
always on the case, ended up getting chased
now we're standing in chains
Flash back being black reality hits back
your system is whack trying to change the track because
I see white people always see black people differently
police man does the same job
gotta understand this is our land

Pre chorus
You wanna be as good as me? Boy you better practise
Step back feel the power of my blackness! x2

Chorus
Cant stop me now, you cant bring me down
I'm on cloud 9, and I'm not coming down x4

Chasing the western ideal can turn out to be hollow, and lead to depression, if your spiritual self is not in the right place. For George Coe, that journey brought him back to his roots, by the river where he grew up. On country, George reconnected with the ancient ways that make him who he is today. Now his goal is to provide the kids of his community with direction, while placing the necessary emphasis on cultural wisdom, to ensure they don’t have to go down the tough path that he has walked before. George has big hopes for his community, and his people, and knows that respecting the land is the only way to get there.

Bush Bands Bash 2021: Eastern Arrernte Band Full Set

Smoking is the leading preventable cause of ill health and death among Indigenous Australians and contributes significantly to the gap in life expectancy. The health and financial consequences of smoking are far-reaching, with smoking rates in remote Yolŋu communities of around 70% far exceeding the national average. Further, smoking-related health costs in the NT are more than $764 million per year, even more than alcohol.

The documentary is very different from other health promotion resources in the tobacco arena, in that it tells the story of how and why smoking rates came to be where they are today. Led by the team of Yolŋu Tobacco Action Workers, particularly a senior elder, Mr. Oscar Garrawirtja from Galiwin'ku and producer/director, Dr Kishan Kariippanon, it does not judge or shame, but acknowledges the very difficult personal journey smokers are on, whilst highlighting the impact it is having today, all told by the voices of Yolŋu from around the region.

This documentary was produced to support the work of the Miwatj Tobacco Program being implemented in 5 communities across East Arnhem Land. It is funded by the Commonwealth Department of Health under the broader Tackling Indigenous Smoking and Healthy Lifestyles Initiative, part of Closing the Gap, being implemented in 57 Aboriginal Health Services around the country. The resource will be of great benefit to tobacco teams around the country as they strive to bring down the high rates of Indigenous smoking.

Of course, we hope you also enjoy the story, history and beautiful scenery of East Arnhem Land.

Tjarlirli Art represents the artists of both Kaltukatjara (Docker River) in the Northern Territory and Tjukurla in the Ngaanyatjarra lands of Western Australia. The artwork has strong links with the Papunya Tula movement as families left Kintore and Kiwirrkurra to return to their homelands in the mid-1980s.

In 2021 the artists of Tjukurla took a trip to an important sacred site and this is their story.

Australia's Original Nations people suffer huge disadvantages, both culturally and socially. Many Original Nations people continue to feel the effects of generational trauma on a daily basis, critical rates of youth suicide (the highest in the world), low life expectancy, unemployment, cycles of incarceration, isolation and substance abuse. Desert Pea Media is a response to this.

Established in 2002, Desert Pea Media (DPM) is a registered charitable organisation that works with Indigenous young people in regional and remote areas of Australia using contemporary storytelling techniques and audio-visual media to foster important social and cultural dialogue. We work with Elders, young people, community leaders and local service providers to ensure our programs are relevant, engaging and appropriate to the needs of individuals and communities.
Over 17 years DPM has produced over 120 music videos and 17 documentaries for over 80 communities. Our YouTube channel has had over 2.7 million views.

Visual artist, activist and academic Lilla Watson, directly quoting Aboriginal activists from Queensland in the 1970s said ‘If you have come here to help me, you are wasting our time. But if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together.’

We believe that OUR cultural liberation as Australian people is bound up with the liberation of the Original Nations people of Australia. We cannot undo the past, but we can actively contribute to a respectful, truthful, aware, and ultimately positive future, for everyone. So let us all take responsibility, and work together to build an inclusive Australian culture that we can be proud of.

Jennifer Wells, with help from Ngapartji Ngapartji, records her song, "Ngura Piltinkgka'.

When asked to develop a script for a health promotion campaign, Stanley decided to rely on some traditional knowledge and apply it to a modern context.

In this video Ngali-Ngalim-Boorroo (For the Women) senior Gija women talk about their culture, language and stories - and their desire to pass this onto the younger generations.
It was connected to a larger project that incorporates ongoing bush trips, exhibitions and writing, alongside the video.

This film provides an overview of the opportunity to implement the savanna burning methodology
to create carbon credits. It includes animated diagrams that demonstrate how a carbon credit is created. It also explores the non-carbon co-benefits of savanna burning by addressing, from an Indigenous perspective, the question ‘Why would we want to be involved?’.

The film is a companion to an education manual entitled 'Climate change and carbon farming in Northern Australia', which can be downloaded from the NAILSMA website at the following link: nailsma.org.au/hub/resources/publication/climate-change-and-carbon-farming-northern-australia-education-manual

Yurntumu-wardingki juju-ngaliya-kurlangu yawulyu: Warlpiri women's songs from Yuendumu.

This series consists of four short films in which Warlpiri women sing, dance and tell the stories of different ancestral beings who travel across Warlpiri country. Each part contains footage of these women singing, painting their bodies with red and white ochre and performing the accompanying dances. The first part presents the Minamina yawulyu and tells of group of ancestral women as they emerge from Minamina, in the far west of Warlpiri country and begin their journey eastwards. Part 2 presents the songs and stories of the Watiyawarnu ancestors from Ngurlulirri-nyinanya, to the north-west of Yuendumu, telling of their travels as they search for varieties of acacia seed, grinding them and making seed cakes along the way. Part 3 presents the famous songs and story of the two Jangalas from Warlukurlangu whose evil blue-tongue lizard father lights a raging bush fire, forcing them to run away southwards out of their country before they return home, weak and exhausted. And finally, part 4 presents the songs and stories of the Ngapa ‘Rain’ Dreaming that travels westwards across the country to the north of Yuendumu. Warlpiri women from Yuendumu have presented these yawulyu so that the songs and their associated knowledge can be remembered and performed by future generations of Warlpiri women. These films appear on a DVD which comes as an accompanying insert in the book ‘Yurntumu-wardingki juju-ngaliya-kurlangu yawulyu: Warlpiri women’s songs from Yuendumu’ (Batchelor Institute Press, 2017).

Stephen Pigram: Such Is Life

Wadawurrung country stretches from the mountains to the sea. It includes hills, rivers and grassy plains, creeks and coasts and includes modern towns such as Werribee, Geelong and Ballarat in Victoria.

Since colonisation, white fellas have tried to write down our Wadawurrung language, even though there are no equivalent sounds in English.

We had no written language so early settlers wrote down what they heard using their own language trying to reproduce the sounds.

In this series of short films we correct some of the language spelling of the places we all know and explain the meaning behind our stories.

Language needs a place to live, and this is a chance for us to tell our stories and our language.

Our language is sleeping, but will soon reawaken.

This video is set in Wurdi Youang, which means big hill in the middle of a plain. It is located about 60km south-west of Melbourne and is now known as the You Yangs. Here we explain the story behind how this impressive series of granite ridges, was formed and why it is part of an ancient song line.

This video was originally contributed to the ABC Open Mother Tongue project, which invited Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to share a story about their mother tongue.

This is a story about a dynamic group of women who are reviving the GunaiKurnai language throughout East Gippsland in Victoria: Lynnette Solomon-Dent, Dr Doris Paton and Hollie Johnson.

Dr Paton explains that not everything in her language can be directly translated into English. There is no single word in Gunai for ‘tree’. The word they use to name a tree will depend on the food it yields, what species it is and what cultural and medicinal function it might serve. Born of some of the world’s greatest environmentalists, it makes sense that the Gunai language expresses the intimate knowledge its interlocutors share of their natural world.

‘Language isn’t just about speaking, it’s your whole way of life,’ explained Lynnette Solomon-Dent. ‘It tells you what’s in the country, what the stories are, what your obligations are to each other.’ Unpack a single word and you can start to understand a system of kin relations and cultural obligations that are still alive and well. The word for ‘mother’ doubles as the word used for Lynnette’s sisters. If anything happened to Lynnette, her sisters would automatically become mothers to her children. It’s all there in the language.

The scope of words we have and use reveals a lot about what we care about, where our attention lies and what kind of world we live in. In the Arrernte language of Central Australia, there is a single word for ‘the smell of rain’ and for ‘debris from trees floating, left over from a flood’. The Yindiny language spoken south of Cairns has highly specialised terms for noises. ‘Ganga’ means ‘the sound of someone’s feet approaching’ and ‘yuyurungul’ means ‘the shushing noise of a snake sliding through the grass’. Pitjantjatjara has no words for numbers beyond three, but like Gunai and countless other Indigenous languages, it contains extremely complex vocabulary surrounding kinship relations and natural phenomena – right down to describing types of lightening and the spectrum of colours in the sky.

A language can bring you into a community or it can keep you apart from one. Anybody who has travelled in a foreign country without a grasp of its language can attest to the bewildering sense of disconnection from the people, landscape and culture. Words can help you see beyond your peripheral vision. Dr Doris Paton hopes that Australians will turn their heads to embrace the many different languages and countries we have on board our great big island, and all the little islands surrounding it. ‘[Our languages] are quite distinct like in Europe, and that sharing of language also shares knowledge, as it does in European languages.’

The biggest difference is that unlike the majority of European languages, our Indigenous languages are vanishing at an alarming rate. Across the country, people like Doris, Lynnette and Hollie are racing against the clock to revive their ancestral languages, protect over 40,000 years of knowledge and offer all of us the opportunity to better understand this country and its Indigenous caretakers, from the inside out.

Many people want to know what the afterlife is like. When Randall was airlifted to hospital with life-threatening medical conditions, he experienced a vivid encounter with Jesus. In this incredible story, Randall says, “I saw Him there. He said, ‘Hello Randall’” I didn’t say a word. I was amazed. He said, “I’ll give you my love so that you can go back and share it.” He had a shiny face. His voice was flowing. I can’t describe…”

Talented singer-songwriter Randall Carew grew up in the remote Kewulyi Community in Roper Valley in the Northern Territory, Australia. Despite being wheelchair-bound, Randall wrote and produced several albums and was sought after for live performances at events across the Northern Territory. When a music teacher at a large school near Melbourne encouraged him to go on Australian Idol, Randall said, “I don’t want to be anyone’s idol. I want people to worship Jesus!”

“The songs don’t come from me, they come from the Lord. The songs are about how great He is, how loving He is…that’s how He uses me to tell people out there about Him.”

Randall now lives with His Saviour. He has been carried home. He is greatly missed by so many people. His family want his story to continue to be shared.

You will be greatly blessed by his story.

Bush Bands Bash: Karrku Reggae Band Full Set

Munumburra 1998: Yakanarra Band - by my side

It’s 1963 in the Australian outback and master tracker Billy Benn is being chased by the police for the murder of his wife’s lover. Can Benn escape and find solace in the outback or will the police led by fellow tracker Teddy Egan catch up to him?

Some twenty years later the police are in full force again running through the forest but this time they are not chasing a criminal, instead it is a race against time. A 6-year-old girl has been lost and stranded deep in the forest already for nine days and her survival, if possible, will depend on how quickly authorities can locate her. Once again the police will rely on the keen sense of a tracker for success. Where others see only a forest, Musgrave spots clues and signs as he reads the environment like a map.

Similarly the police have relied on the trackers’ mysterious abilities to break up a drug ring, rescue a stranded photographer in the desert, and find a young cowboy who disappeared during a stampede.

Trackers have been around for centuries and when the police realized that it would be interesting to put them to use in tracking escaped and missing persons, Australia was still a British penal colony. But in this age of GPS, 4×4 vehicles and helicopters, are we letting go of something more fundamental – an intuitive knowledge linking man to nature?

Featured in this film will be some of the last great trackers of the outback, including George Musgrave, Teddy Egan Jangala, Tommy George, and Mitjili Gibson. We will bring their most dramatic stories to life by recreating their gripping adventures deep in the unknown corners of the Australian Outback, traversing lush rainforests and wild rivers, magnificent gorges and deep water holes, dry savannahs, and red deserts in search of the soon-to-be lost Aboriginal art of the tracker.

Randall met Jesus at age 15. “There was an old man next door. He told me, ‘someone loves you. He lives above you, watching you, day and night.’ The old man was like an angel, encouraging me, telling me about Jesus,” said Randall.

“I decided to go and get baptised, and then He gave me a gift of playing music and writing songs. I didn’t know how to write songs. I never went to school. Jesus gave me an understanding about writing songs and playing music. I just kept doing it.

“The songs don’t come from me, they come from the Lord. The songs are about how great He is, how loving He is…that’s how He uses me to tell people out there about Him.”

This is a video of Yolngu (Wägilak) ceremonial leader, Daniel Wilfred, discussing the manikay (ceremonial song) and bungul (dance) in the gathering of different groups in ceremony.

Seaside Drifters are saltwater people and they live off the sea and so the name reflects their connection to country, the sea and the associated hunting and gathering lifestyle. This is a metaphor for the band hunting and gathering a large fan base which they have been very successful in gaining a following throughout the Kimberley.

Hailing from regional Victoria, Indigenous singer/songwriter Benny Walker is the real deal. His love songs and epic tales are mixed with passion for the land, the people, summer vibes and deep grooves are the elements that reach the soul.

New song “Save” is a soul driven number showcasing Benny’s killer vocals. It’s the second track recorded at Way Of The Eagle studios with ARIA Award winning Producer Jan Skubiszewski (The Cat Empire, John Butler Trio, Dan Sultan). An EP will be released in Feb 2017.

'Yolngu' is the first single from my second EP.

It is a special song to me as it involves samples I recorded in Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory, Australia. I have been lucky enough to visit and grow up closely with an Aboriginal family since I was about 4. My dad wanted my brother and I to experience what traditional aboriginal culture was like, so we visited a family every few years. They have also visited us and spoke to my classmates when I was at school about Aboriginal culture. We were also lucky enough to be adopted into the family as the elder had sung for 'two white babies to come play with her children.'

On my last trip, I asked whether we could collaborate and record some singing and traditional music. They were excited to combine our two backgrounds of music and that's where these recordings came from

The music video is all footage I have filmed during my visits, It shows the family that we have spent many years with. I want to put this video out, highlighting and celebrating their amazingly rich culture.

On 21-27 May, 2017, the Pilbara & Kimberley Aboriginal Media (PAKAM) team, Clint Dixon, Quinton Milner, Ronald Mosquito and Magali McDuffie, were privileged to cover the Walkali Return to Country Trip. Seven hours from Balgo in the Central Tanami Desert, they travelled with Senior Elders Joe Brown, Butcher Wise and their extended families, women from the Kapululangu Centre in Balgo, and the Paruku Rangers from Mulan Community. This trip had been in planning for nearly two years, and was organised by the Kimberley Land Council.

It was a very emotional return to country for some of the community members who had not been there in more than 20 years, or whose grand-parents were from there but never had the chance to return. The highlights of the trip included a very moving smoking ceremony, visits to two significant rock holes, story-telling of country, making clapsticks and bush medicine, a women’s dance, hunting bush turkeys, and even the opportunity for two PAKAM crew, Clint Dixon and Quinton Milner, to go up in a helicopter to get some fantastic footage of country from the air!

PAKAM extends their thanks to all the people who made the trip possible and for the warm welcome received from all the community members. It was a pleasure and an absolute privilege to cover this trip and PAKAM look forward to showing you the finished film!

Pineapple Pork Adobo step by step how I made it, very easy and definitely worth a crack!
Thank you my Filipino people, Adobo is life.

Ingredients:
- Pork spare ribs
- garlic
- peppercorns
- palm sugar
- vinegar
- soy sauce
- bay leaves
- tin pineapple chunks
- water
Method:
1. Brown the pork, remove, dice and set aside.
2. Cook peppercorns & garlic for a minute or two before adding pork back in.
3. Add palm sugar and the juice of the tin pineapples and stir through. Add vinegar, bay leaves and soy sauce and cook for 2-3 minutes.
4. Top up with water (it will look bland but trust the process) reduce the heat to a medium simmer, put a lid on and cook for 35-40 minutes.
5. Remove the lid, crank the heat to high and start reducing the adobo sauce. At about half way reduced add the pineapple chunks and continue to reduce until the sauce thickens. Once it sticks to the back of a spoon it is ready.
Serve with rice, garnish with spring onions then simply enjoy this magnificent dish!

Iwenhe Arrateme Ingwele is a song about what we see in our environment at different times of the day: the morning, daytime, the evening and at night. It teaches children about the rhythms and patterns of Arrernte country, sharing important cultural and ecological knowledge, connecting them to the land and reminding them to notice their surroundings. And to look out for the Pangkerlange!

Women from Lajamanu, an Aboriginal community about 550 kilometres south west of Katherine on the edge of the Tanami Desert perform an ancient dance while other women sing, on the occasion of the Northern Territory achieving self-government on 1 July 1978; they dance around a flagpole with the new NT flag. This was recorded with an old 8 mm film camera, so the technical quality is poor.

Pho Beef Noddles for lunch ?
This is pretty deadly for off the shelf broth, I’m aware Pho broth from scratch is a long process like 2 days or something but this pre-made broth is quite nice!
(I am keen to make Pho broth from scratch though!)
Recipe I used ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Ingredients:
- Pho Broth (Coles)
- Pho Noodles (Coles)
- Vietnamese Chilli Oil (Coles)
- Steak
- Eggs
- Coriander
- Spring onion
- Brown onion
- Mushroom soy (Asian/Indian grocery shop)
- Fried Onion/Garlic (Asian/Indian grocery shop)
- sesame oil
- pink salt & pepper
- fresh lime
Method:
1. Marinate the steak slices in pepper & mushroom soy, longer the better. Boil your eggs, boil the noodles, brown the beef, heat the broth.
2. Noodles in a bowl, add the broth then layer your other ingredients on top whoever you like.
3. You can use other ingredients, I’ve learnt there’s various ways to enjoy Pho so up to you what you want in yours.
Enjoy!

NO SHAME | BE PROUD | RESPECT

The big pot cook ups at Mungalla Station, Australia!
Uncle Jake got me up there to cook for the mob over that weekend and they asked for a good feed! So I knocked up a big slow cooked beef & redwine stew and pork belly vermicelli! Safe to say it all got lifted and there was next to no leftovers ?
This was a deadly experience to cook up in bulk like that and I’m keen as to do more like this! ?
Recipe info ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Beef & Redwine:
- diced beef
- garlic
- onion
- bacon
- mushrooms
- carrot
- celery
- potatoes
- bag leaves
- rosemary
- Worcestershire sauce/Lancashire relish
- continental beef stock powder
- salt & pepper
- water
- flour
- Boronia red wine
Pork belly vermicelli:
- pork rashers/spare ribs
- garlic/onion/ginger
- spring onion
- mushrooms
- soy sauce
- water
- vermicelli noodles
Thanks Uncle Jake for inviting me up there to cook!
Too deadly! ?

Why I don’t cook with exact measurements for ingredients - just throw it in ?❤️

There is no doubt about it, best curried bully beef I’ve ever made ???‍?
Ingredients:
- Palm corned beef
- red onion
- fresh garlic & ginger
- green chilli
- tomato
- tomato paste
- Keens curry powder
- potato
- ghee
- water
- salt & pepper
- parsley
Method:
1. Make the curry slurry - cook the onion & green chillin in Ghee on a medium heat, add a diced tomato, cook for a bit, add freshly grated garlic & ginger, tomato paste and curry powder. Stir through, add water and simmer.
2. Add the corned beef, stir through, add the potatoes, stir and top up with water. Season with salt & pepper.
3. Simmer until the potatoes are done.
4. Hit it with the parsley and serve with rice & garlic naan ?
**watch my garlic naan video if you want to make those**
Enjoy! ?

$10 Challenge - feed 3 people, so I made Mi Goreng Chicken Noodle Soup! ?
This worked out to make quite a decent feed and realistically have easily fed 4 people even up to 5! So for $9.5 of ingredients to buy it works out to be $2.38/per person for 4 people or $1.90 for 5 people.
**Rice wasn’t on the docket but it’s realistic that you might have some in the cupboard so it’s ok to include that if you need too!**
**Fresh herbs from the garden were obviously not on the docket but that’s the benefit of growing your own ingredients, so start growing your own to use in cooking it’s easy to do!**
Anyway this was fun to create, it tasted really good, it’s affordable and you and your family will have full belly’s and a good nights sleep. That’s what we want!
Thanks for watching, hope you try it and I’ll be on to the next $10 Challenge! ?

2015 Lightning Carnival Day 1 Amoonguna Vs Alparra Suns.

This game was captured by the ICTV Live Team at Treager Park in Alice Springs.

The lead single and title track from Gawurra's debut album 'Ratja Yaliyali' (meaning 'Vine of Love').

Gawurra [pronounced gow-rra] is an extraordinary singer and engaging performer hailing from East Arnhem Land. A contemporary of Gurrumul, he has a deeply resonant voice and musical sensitivity. His debut single Ratja Yaliyali [to be released from a forthcoming album of the same name]; won the 2015 NT Song of the Year Award in the Pop category.

Broadwing an award winning young producer from the NT has given the song [and forthcoming album] an unexpected edge while soulfully blending Gawurra’s traditional & contemporary sound. The instrumentation is built around a resonant vocal, atmospheric guitar, simple drums and a string section that slowly swells throughout the song.

A beautiful melody, and a well-known Yolngu Songline, Ratja Yaliyali [pronounced Rart-ja yarl-i yarl-i] translates to Vine of Love; a thread of love that keeps everything connected. When Yolngu people hear it they feel the spirit in their hearts. If they have a problem or feel gloomy, they listen to Ratja Yaliyali as it touches them and builds their spirit making them stronger and brighter.

The Tjawa Tjawa Songline follows a group of women in search of husbands.

The women travel from Roebourne in the Pilbara through to Kiwikurra in the Great Sandy Desert far to the south of Balgo, where they split up, some heading east and some north. When they near Lake Mackay they join a camp of Ngarti women and are brought kangaroo by an old man. They eat some of the meat, including the hook of a spear still buried in the flesh. This makes them feel very strange. They realise that this old man could not have speared the kangaroo himself and that there must be young men somewhere nearby. They look around everywhere right up until the evening. Then they see a young man with his headband lit up by the last rays of the setting sun and they cry with joy. They smash a path through the hill and make love with the men and sleep.

Two senior law men, outraged at the violation of their ceremony ground, spread a fire in which both the men and women are consumed and die, but with special magic the women return to life again and travel underground to Tjawa Tjawa and on via Walkali and Makura to Manga Manga where they are forced underground to return to their home country.

Songline custodian Mark Moora was born at Kiyarr in the Great Sandy Desert of Western Australia. He grew up in Old Balgo (Wirrimanu Community) where he attended the Pallottine Mission School for five years. Mark wanted to record the Tjawa Tjawa songline in order to reconnect his people to their country and hold this story strong for future generations.

Living with the legacy of British Nuclear testing.

In the 1950’s and 1960’s the Australian government authorised British Nuclear testing at Emu Field and Maralinga in Outback South Australia.
We journey with Antikirrinya Elder, Ingkama Bobby Brown to his homelands in outback South Australia where he explains the legacy of living with British Nuclear testing - how he witnessed the first tests on the Australian mainland at Emu Field (1953) and experienced the devastating affects of radioactive fallout on his family, people and country.
5min short from the award winning documentary King's Seal.

British Nuclear testing was a breach of the King's Letters Patent, the founding document that established the state of South Australia (1836), which granted Aboriginal people the legal right to occupy and enjoy their land for always.

From 2012 - 2017 Ngaatjatjarra linguist Elizabeth Marrkilyi Ellis worked with Inge Kral and Jennifer Green to document the endangered verbal arts of the Australian Western Desert.

The Western Desert dialects spoken in the Ngaanyatjarra Lands Communities include Ngaanyatjarra, Ngaatjatjarra and Pitjantjatjara.

With women and girls we filmed the traditional practice of 'mirlpa', or sand storytelling, and with younger storytellers we recorded their adaptation of this drawing practice to iPads.

Three Sisters, Women of High Degree, is the result of 7 years of collaboration and filmed conversations between three Yimardoowarra Marninil, Nyikina women from the Fitzroy River, Lucy Marshall, Jeannie Wabi, and Anne Poelina, and French-Australian filmmaker Magali McDuffie.

For over 30 years, Lucy, Wabi and Anne have been implementing cultural actions to create sustainable economies in their communities for future generations, and to protect their kandri, language and culture.

Inscribing the women within their cultural landscape through their river stories, and spanning over 80 years and three generations, this film also retraces the recent history of the Kimberley through the sisters’ lived experiences of slavery on pastoral stations, and reveals the women’s agency in response to various government policies. Highlighting the use of film as a tool of empowerment, Three Sisters looks at the contemporary engagement of the women politically, at a local, national, and international level, in an increasingly neo-liberal context, with, in the background, the ever-increasing threat of massive industrialisation of the Kimberley region by multi-national mining corporations – the new colonisers.

‘Alpiri’ is a form of motivational or instructional speech traditionally used in the early morning in Anangu camps. Usually an elder would get up early to broadcast a message to people waking in the camp. In the alpiri video series, we have produced short videos in which senior Anangu leaders send messages out to viewers.

Desert Pea Media is very proud to announce a new collaboration with the Bundjalung/Weyabul community in Baryulgil, in the Clarence Valley on the North Coast of NSW.

This production was created over 7 days in December 2019 - an outcome of of a unique, collaborative creative process with Desert Pea Media artists, local Original Nations young people, community members, Elders, High School staff and local services.

The overall purpose of the project was to facilitate an important, inter-generational conversation about social and emotional well-being for Original Nations young people in 8 communities around the North Coast. The project is called 'Break It Down - Community Conversations Around Well-being' - funded by North Coast Primary Health Network.

Desert Pea Media projects involve a dialogue-based storytelling process that encourages participants to analyse 'the real', 'the ideal' and 'the bridge'. In simple terms this means critically thinking about how to create positive change for yourself, for each other and for our communities :)

The connections created during this project with the community and local young people are friendships that the DPM team highly value and respect. We as a team feel deeply honored to learn, share and create with the Baryulgil community. These projects not only uplift and inspire audiences and community members, but everybody involved.

'Garrama' was Directed, shot and edited by DPM Creative Director - Toby Finlayson and filmmaker Justin Smith. We thank you both for your artistic vision and awesome work.

Special thanks to Bianca Monaghan and the Monaghan family, and staff at Baryulgil School for all of your support over the years, and the Elders and community from Baryulgil for having us on country.

CONVERGE Alice Springs ended with the First Nations Media Awards on Friday night featuring live performances from The Everlastings, Stuart Nuggett and the Black Rock Band. Award recipients will be announced on an evening that celebrates excellence in First Nations media across all platforms.

In 2019, the North Queensland Primary Health Network commissioned Desert Pea Media to visit five remote communities (Kuranda, Bowen, Palm Island, Thursday Island, Lockhart River) to work with some of the most disadvantaged and 'at risk' young people.

DPM's 'Break It Down' program uses 'collaborative storytelling' processes to actively engage Original Nation's young people on issues such as mental health and well-being.

We wanted to know if DPM's process actually works. Are young people stronger? Heard? Celebrated? Respected? Are they more able to live a life of their own design?

We commissioned and independent evaluation (Leanganook Yarn) to answer these questions.

This film represents our findings.

Desert Pea Media is very proud to present a new collaboration with the community of Jabiru, NT. A mining and services town in the centre of dual-world heritage listed Kakadu National Park. The community of Jabiru is also considered 'the gateway to Arnhem Land'.

This production was created in September of 2020 - an outcome of a unique, collaborative creative process between Desert Pea Media, Red Lily Health (a local Indigenous-led Health Service) and an incredibly talented group of students at the Jabiru Area School, who represent several clan groups of Kakadu and Arnhem Land. Also involved were local community members, elders, artists, and community organisations.

The overall purpose of the broader project was to facilitate an important, inter-generational conversation about social and emotional well-being for Original Nations young people. Focusing on cultural identity, health and positive choices.

Desert Pea Media projects involve a dialogue-based storytelling process that encourages participants to analyze 'the real', 'the ideal' and 'the bridge'. In simple terms this means critically thinking about how to create positive change for yourself, for each other and for our communities.

We as a team feel deeply honoured and grateful to learn, share and create with the Jabiru community. These projects not only uplift and inspire audiences and community members, but everybody involved.

'Mayali' is the Gundjeihmi/Kunwinjku word for 'cultural knowledge' and is used by several language groups in the region. The song was co-directed/written by and features Victor Rostron of Wildfire Munwurrk Band..

Hailing from the extremely remote Stone Country of Central Arnhem Land, Victor speaks and sings in the critically endangered aboriginal languages of Dalabon, Kune and Rembarrnga. A highly respected senior culture man, singer, songwriter, artist and prolific musician, Victor reaches across cultures and holds keys to knowledge that bridges the gap across ancient and contemporary Australia.

An insightful lyricist, passionate collaborator and truly astounding vocalist, he is a creative force and one of Australia’s most important voices. We are deeply honoured to call Victor a friend and collaborator, and his contribution, and his family's contribution were a huge part of the project outcomes.

The project was produced by DPM in-house Music Producer - Josh Nicholas. We thank you brother for your artistic vision and awesome work. Featuring guitar samples from local musician and guitarist from Black Rock Band - Graham Rostron.

Thanks to Patricia Miller and the staff at Red Lily Health. Also to Gundjeihmi Aboriginal Corporation and Jabiru Area School.

Special thanks to the TO's of Jabiru - The Mirrar People, and all of the Clan Groups of Kakadu that welcomed us and shared their country for the creation of this production. We are humbled and grateful for your trust and support.

We Deserve to Dream” features steel guitar, Xavier’s signature percussive beat drives this spirited song that builds to a sweet soaring chorus with an anthemic bent. We Deserve To Dream speaks of the freedom that is ours to be found in the elements of the land, the ocean, the trees, yet we find ourselves locked up in layers of conditioning thrust upon us by life. The accompanying film clip symbolically encapsulates this point in life via dance and features renown First Nations dancer Tyrel Dulvarie .

We see Tyrel suited-up and unfulfilled. He returns home to the land he belongs and from the broken pieces finds a photo of his younger self. As he peels back the layers of society he spiritually reconnects with himself through fire and ceremony and importantly his dance. The more Tyrel dances the more golden he becomes as was before he became tainted by life. Tyrel dances as the gold dust takes him over and returns his soul to its former pure essential self where he can re-create his dreams.

Seaside Drifters are saltwater people and they live off the sea and so the name reflects their connection to country, the sea and the associated hunting and gathering lifestyle. This is a metaphor for the band hunting and gathering a large fan base which they have been very successful in gaining a following throughout the Kimberley.

The Midwest Aboriginal Ranger Program is providing opportunities for Aboriginal people across the Mid West region to engage in Natural Resource Management (NRM) activities while delivering on-ground conservation with a strong cultural emphasis on Caring for Country.

It is a partnership between the Northern Agricultural Catchments Council, Western Mulga, Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA), Central Regional TAFE and Geraldton Streetwork Aboriginal Corporation (GSAC).

The Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet has been instrumental in establishing this Program through an Indigenous Advancement Strategy community-led grant worth $1.5 million. The Program is also supported by a dedicated Reference Group, which brings together Traditional Custodians from across the region to provide advice and guidance.

In the Pilbara, people are preparing for the annual Rowan’s Walk from Port Hedland to South Hedland to encourage people with mental health issues to open up and seek help.

It was started by a teenage boy, who is now 20, after a family tragedy.

His mother Ravena Maher said Rowan’s intention is to remind people that their lives are precious and worth fighting for.

“Only you know what you're going through, so it's only you that can reach out nice for that help,” Ms Maher said.

“[Rowan’s] trying to let people know that it's okay not to be okay. And that yes, today is tough, but it's hope that will bring better days.”

This year’s walk will be on October 8, and everyone is welcome to join Rowan on his walk from 6am at Red Bank Salt Ridge.

For the first time, it will be followed by a basketball tournament and teams of all ages are invited to participate.

Basketball teams wanting to play may contact patricia@YIC.com.au
