Fortunate to attend a tour of Will-im-mee mooring (Mt William greenstone quarry near Lancefield). A hugely important site re pre-colonisation Indigenous trade. Rumoured that a single axe-head blank could be traded for 2 full length possum skin cloaks! Great educational experience! #Wurundjeri

Two of the BPU’s most committed organisers are at breaking point after a traumatic 18 months. These are good, hardworking people who have given everything to the community, and right now, they need the community to have their backs. @blackpeoplesunion.bsky.social #MobSky

You read my mind. Already do! Or any native bird flying over/call as well.

People should learn to familiarise themselves with the borders of clan country whether it be mountain ranges, river systems or confluences. There are much deeper systems of custodianship than native title recognition or registered Aboriginal parties.

Mother of Veronica Nelson warns Victoria's new bail laws will "undoubtedly" see another parent lose their child New bail laws in Victoria will lead to greater criminalisation of Aboriginal and other marginalised communities, and more people dying in custody, an open letter says, as the Victorian government faces growing opposition to their decision to abandon bail reform.

Victorian bail laws expected to be tightened The Victorian government is set to implement alterations to bail laws less than a year after they were changed in the wake of a concerted campaign by conservative media and the police.

Conversations, truth-telling and respect: Treaty gathering takes place in Naarm Powerful conversations are on the agenda at the second Statewide Treaty gathering on Wurundjeri country as the Treaty negotiations with the Victorian government continue.

One interesting feature of this is Tindale referring to a specific area as "Kurung" which are now understood to be Woi-wurrung. But he gave them an autonomous tribal status from early documentation. My grandpa's maps also had this. None of this was self-determining of course.

Unfortunately Bluesky has scaled down the original image but it's hi-res on Reddit.

I feel like this image I've been able to find isn't a complete map and for some reason has cropped lutruwita out, as the border and key have been cut off on this copy.

Just saw a blue banded bee in my tiny inner suburban garden for the first time (all up in the kangaroo apple flowers) and I fkn burst into happy tears.

Professor Irene Watson raises the Tindale 1974 map of Aboriginal languages of "Australia" at the first sessions of Day 2 Statewide Treaty Gathering in Naarm. Have you seen this before? What are your thoughts? #MobSky

Interesting things.

The Organ Pipes which marks the meeting of the Maribyrnong and Jackson's Creek is the border between Marin-balluk and Wurundjeri-willam clans of the Woi-wurrung.

Today I came along to the Treaty Forum for Traditional Owners wearing two hats, as a Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung custodian and as secretary of the BPU.

The Statewide Treaty Gathering is this weekend, and I'm hoping to see more youth participation in the process. After all we are the ones potentially inheriting this legislation. Whether to come to express dissent, to ask questions or to listen and pass details onto family, youth should be here.

Lol.

We believe that as Sovereign Indigenous people we have the right to manage our own political, social, and economic affairs as we see fit, without interference from outside forces.
