Decolonise: A Podcast about Blak Sovereignty (2020-2023)
EP01 Yarnin with Wunyungar
In our first episode we yarn with Alwyn Doolan who initiated Nation Dance, a national mass movement in December 2019. It was an act of sovereignty that saw over 100 nations come together to dance on country at the same time.
Our lands everywhere are hurting and we are being called on urgently to start 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. Blak sovereignty 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.
