org. board. when i was. a prophet our present one with a one of a crop of left on a name is what a body. cut from. a grew up in a place called christmas creek it's in the western australia. as a child i remember stories about the past i heard about

a life in the great sandy desert i'm a family go. ahead stories about doro and help them sell by. economy jealous living laura. i have never seen them. on a more than level can approach their war from the desert. their parents or their problem confinement in an ever olympic. christmas creek or the cattle station where my family we're working. my father pretty girl for us had stopped when he was the son a bit of station owner and that's how i got my guardian name role for. one day you and i must tell my family took me to a cattle station. people have said a blockade to stop mining on desolate good land. you see

that kid into our jeans. that's me. it was the 1st time i went this my people fighting for their country. back. the mining company ended up grinning at no one. but for us it was still a victory. it put on a fine for a man writes on the map. i am but as a kid i remember the excitement of being there and being part of something big i am glad that back. when we return christmas craig my father as usual was away working in mustering camps. but i never felt on alone. we had big mobs of all people going out for us. for me it was like having a big extended family. literally my grandfather

from my mother's side was very special to me. is a man of. no urgent matter no it fundamental wisdom and it is if you want him to fail to catch up with what you don't. or spider. brother what he was always a grandfather to me. he was different. he told stories all the time. together with his wife julie but now they're living in fisher a crossing for millions are you going to get a letter that. ever since i was a young boy spawn i was always singing. singing and dancing or not community

festivals. it was always about growing up in the great sandy desert. country and he was forced to leave after the county came to whiteman on my. golly and spotter. about getting the land in the desert back. for many years we had been fighting for land rights. and 992 things began to happen. when he took them for additional lands and smashed them for additional wildlife where he brought the diseases and the alpha home. where you committed the murders where you took the children from their mothers for the 1st time australia has recognized the legal existence of aborigines prior to white settlement the high court has recognized there were people here and their descendants have rights. the

mabo decision showed us that we could legally claim our land back. to claim it back we have to prove we have a continuing relationship to a country. in 1994 my grandfather where only a spotter. took me to their country. and been bank there for 40 years. it was my 1st trip to a country. i decided to shoot a video it was a new way of showing evidence for land claim all i had with the old being yes killa .

we took a lot fellow with us just to name is jalen a guy there called him daniel. the land council asked me if i would be interested in conducting a lamb klein under the new native title act. and one of the 1st people that i met was wider who told me that is his country was. when they were going to go there. i read you know how to get to where he wanted to go and he drew maps of his country on the sand in fitzroy crossing and really it wasn't done to scale i'll tell you about. no one goes in this part of the great sandy desert no one travels in it it's almost inaccessible. like it was like a different world for me. i had to see the dams. and know as

i think all. things began to happen we knew that we were going to close it because people were starting to burn the spinifex. i always hear stories about that snake spirit living in the water but i didn't believe it i thought oh don't fight us with my camera. it was hard to keep up. the running and shouting but coming to visit the admit we have family. we are not bothered by that if. they did they took us to a small wet spot in the desert who was just this small puddle this small patch of wetness and this was this very important place that i've been telling us

about for the last 5 days. were numbered there are dead and i don't want to put some of the young fellows that we're with and myself we started on what do you know . now yeah. you know what i want to. know what. i think if anything i'm going to let you know because we came in. and under orders come fed up. they were going to. come out of it oh no we're going to be like i thought about writing not going to get it i never saw my grandfather with ari so happy. to hear. about it no longer you what on earth. for that is just. the 1st few. years. that.

week. and not only that you know you have it in your. sitting around a lot of but no grandparent amount of mail to stories that told me as a kid. i really want to go understand what was going on here. is a man's area. man bringing woman now after take a nap the world. only spot his wife she leaves the woman. is for a war and a woman so that just makes no wood ai. and the damn visitor i don't ever get any

yeah you. took the woman back to camp but then i could see that something else was happening. but i was using the good and the money will pulling out. to make this god get around a want to get away. told me that it represents the donkey that. same thing goes for that colon. see there could have been a day only it represent a cloud and water that tip it over that's the rain is coming down. there without. them without without our all over on our own. that would have to ask for the 1st time i understood when the grandfathers danced came from. and the

meaning of his headdress. the. being in a place where spot it literally grew up was really emotional. no no need like it like going back to a place. on country. oh no you didn't leave going home. oh yeah literally and spider were talking to something else with a feeling a lot of times they were doing it. alone they said we had to constantly have to go now like right now ok so we packed up the camp and headed off and spider and literally really can only get as far from that place as possible and we drove and we drove and we drove and looking out into the west where the water hole was

located were all these storm clouds and lightning rain. and then i realized that or not is the rain making plays that was what already had a spotter were doing today. they brought the rain. there ritually made rain to her driest parts of australia and they were known widely as the as the rain makers. but on a 1st on that day with my grandfather literally to what i. saw something that changed my life without any young person on the trip. trusted me believed in me to carry on this responsibility. and i mean it's a big it's a big big job. but to get it. from our people

at the trust from our people. that make you feel good inside. the firm. was. causing. daniel get a davenant because on the trip. he started to report. for me the trip. to find out more. i wanted to learn about our history. when one fellas came into our country in 80 maybe they want to water. they drove us off our land and turned a country into a huge cattle station. and

then ever counting camel he wanted us $101.00 or they cattle. at 2000 kilometer trek through our tribal lands. they call it becoming stuccoed and it destroyed the traditional way of life. itself there's 3 solar cells but. if. you want to. be used as a good water holes to make 51 wells for to kill. on a problem that can infer that he didn't there were any clue other water was so he kept it out as a people. come up in time so it meant stop them a water. only let them go if one of the tracks as they ran to get water.

they imprison no one inside metal and wood folks. and wells were closed and several more people around trying to get down could they want to. most of my people had to move away on their traditional way of life. among them well my grandparents spot i was a young man when he left the desert to find only his promise wife. she was working as a housemaid and i got a station up my white grandfather. now better over the. didn't like desert people because they you just various cattle. when he seems potter or better over it take him off if he's going to aim to frighten him so as bada ran down to aruba and he climbed up a creek. bed rover he went dead documented on the tree.

he was on top but when he seen the fire coming over he jumped down and he landed next on him and on more falls this is why his name is padda. spot and danny ended up working on christmas gray color station. you know a parachute that. they're holding up and we don't believe it was there you know have been more than answers and they're made the station folks to what they're doing. we're finally became citizens and got a correction after the $967.00 referendum. but even the station owners refused to pay more people equal wenches. after decades of working there they were loaded on to trucks and dumped on the banks. that was to build

place a bus ride crossing. fish fry went from a population of 60 people to a refugee camp up to a 1000. they had nothing to do no work no nothing. while. system. wide. blue. was drug use for a. drug spot and only kept their country alive by learning the pain. it comes naturally because of ceremonies and painting up on bodies and sand brings. it was the beginning of good interest never you know not the. straw they became famous artists and the

a canvas represents the coming stock route it was to help the cut here the one fellas. it was important for don't people to paint their country because think on top of korea they're no speak english and they can't read or write. the canvas is like a map a bird's eye view of their country that shows the printout of stories and where people used to walk. and it's a pretty damn good map. it took nearly a week to finish the painting. and then came the time to use it as evidence and came. along. told fred chaney from the native title tribe you know all about. what our. country. club up and about i want to live never ending battle i

mean that this war is so do you know every word of. it and i don't then i know not. what friends. do you know nothing and then you know . this is for your students. that i get that. feeling today. this is. right. in order to land come along it's going to be able to canvas to canberra one of the politicians and the country belongs to us. and. we're not going to be with.
