Uncle Kev Talks Lake Eyre to West Papua
Lake Eyre to West Papua
Land and Sea Convoy for Peace and Justice
Looking at the ancient ways to find the new beginnings…
Once upon a time the land was joined, Australia the big mother split from her children the islands of Melanesia. Just below the surface of the sea that now divides us are the hidden treasures of forgotten stories and cultural knowledge as we sift though the sands of time, reconnecting ancient culture finding the story lines that reveal a deep connection with the land and people,
Water is life, follow the dreaming story of the water from the Lake Eyre basin to where it comes from the source, our brothers and sisters land in West Papua.
We have a duty of care, the People of West Papua are suffering. ‘We have a responsibility to care for our bothers and sisters from across the water, we must bring the water and the fire the love and the music to heal the country as we move in solidarity, We were one people, we still are one people we must up hold our cultural connection, the old land is calling us.’ Uncle Kevin Buzzacot
Calling on all our friends and families of all nations to join us at the shores of Lake Eyre for a music festival to celebrate the survival of the old country and to stand strong to make an action of creative resistance against the apartheid of colonization and destruction caused by multinational mining companies on this land
From the shores of the Lake we will follow the underground water across Australia in a freedom ride convoy of artist musicians activist indigenous ambassadors from Australia and West Papua that carry the ancient water collected from the sacred mound springs of Arabunna country, the fire from the old Lake Eyre and ashes from Aboriginal tent embassies across Australia. These offerings of peace and justice will be taken on a flotilla to West Papua in support for the freedom and justice for West Papuan peoples.
