"Australia Day" #notadatetocelebrate

Burnum Burnum (meaning Great Warrior) made the reverse journey that Cpt Arthur Phillip had made in the 18th century
"In claiming this colonial outpost, we wish no harm to you natives," he wrote in an accompanying declaration.

January 26th is a day that marks the beginning of colonisation and the attempted eradication of First Nations people, cultures, languages and connection to Country.

It is NOT a day to celebrate.

The image shows a person (Ngarra Murray) speaking into a microphone, positioned on a stage or platform outdoors. The individual has long dark hair and is wearing a black jacket with red and yellow writing on it. In the background, there is an architectural structure with columns and a blurred sky. Superimposed on the image is a block of text in yellow and white, with a highlighted phrase. At the bottom, there is a pink label with a name and title, as well as a logo in white. Transcribed Text: “It’s time to approach our national day in a different way. The question is no longer why the date should change, it is whether Australia has the courage to finally grow up, make this change and begin the next chapter in our nation’s story – one that includes all of us.” NGARRA MURRAY ASSEMBLY CO-CHAIR TREATY FOR VICTORIA

January 26 is not a day to celebrate. It is a day of invasion - and a day of survival, resistance, and mourning. It is a day we come together to stand with First Nations peoples across this continent, to tell the truth and demand justice.

Some film recommendations for this day. #NeverCeded #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe #NotADateToCelebrate
Never Ceded: Feature films directed by Australian Indigenous / First Nations / Aboriginal peoples
60,000 years of storytelling, 130 years of cinema... 30 feature films? This list is appallingly small but will hopefully grow exponentially as the years go on. I've only included anthology films when all or the majority of chapters were directed by Australian Indigenous filmmakers. Excludes TV movies, series or short films - this is a list of feature films, made for theatrical or streaming release.

Frontier violence and introduced diseases saw deaths and devastation to First Nations peoples in Australia from the moment of colonisation. By the 1840s, the First Nations population had been more than halved by the brutality of colonisation. www.researchgate.net/publication/...

I made a list on PageBound with book recommendations for anyone who would prefer to learn more about why today is a day of mourning instead of celebrating the colonisation and genocide of an entire continent.

To make us want to celebrate anything but survival?
Nah, you watchin' telly for The Bachelor
But wouldn't read a book about a fuckload of massacres?"
