Walk on Water - Local Government Week
WATCH - INTERPRETIVE INDIGENOUS WALK IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT WEEK
One of the most popular events in Local Government Week 2017 has been the chance to hear indigenous insights from Bundjalung man Robert Appo, Council's Community Development Offficer - Aboriginal.
Mr Appo took a group of two dozen community members through the 'Walk on Water' Cultural Historic Site at South Tweed.
Accessible via the Minjungbal Aboriginal Cultural Centre, the walk features the only complete bora ring in the Tweed, a sacred ceremonial site and meeting place.

Children of a Generation - Banora Point High School
One Vision Productions is proud to announce our third release in 2018, “Children of a Generation” from the super talented students of Banora Point High School, Northern Rivers, New South Wales.
The mob from Banora Point are celebrating their proud Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander culture and identity in this Hip hop track produced during an 8-week “Music for Change” workshop with One Vision Productions.
The students invite people from all cultures to gather around the fire and learn of the magic that surrounds us in Bundjalung jugun. Their lyrics weave local Dreamtime yarns and remind us to appreciate the ancient ways which have been passed down from Elders through generations.
The lyrics also remind other young Indigenous people, who are battling with their identity, to stay strong and proud of who they are and how they feel. It can be challenging but nobody has the right to tell you who you are, you know your own truths and the first line of the second verse sums this up perfectly “Doesn’t matter about our skin, still belong in a tribe”.
Ancient languages have been stolen from native speakers, Dreamtime stories have been robbed from future generations and racism & misunderstanding has plagued the lives of many people. The students ask us to come together around the fire to burn off the tension, like a community should, for a more positive future for everyone living in this beautiful nation!
Massive props to all those involved, may you shine with unlimited potential!
