A Community Fundraiser for Environmental Resilience

Please join us for an inspiring community fundraising event supporting Waddananggu. This meaningful gathering honors the ongoing fight for First Nations resilience, water protection, and traditional practices of Caring for Country. The special evening will bring together passionate community members, insightful speakers, and dedicated environmental supporters. Consequently, attendees will share deep conversations around Indigenous resilience, climate justice, and direct environmental action.

Ditch your usual evening routines to support this crucial grassroots movement. Our collective efforts help amplify indigenous voices on a national stage. Furthermore, all funds raised across the evening will go directly to support the frontline caretakers at Waddananggu.

Screening Nagana Yarrbayn: The Water Protectors

The main feature of the evening involves an exclusive documentary screening. We will proudly host a screening of Nagana Yarrbayn: The Water Protectors. This powerful 25-minute documentary closely follows Senior Cultural Custodian Adrian Burragubba. The film shows the Wangan and Jagalingou (W&J) people in their fierce fight to protect their land.

The story tracks their defense of the sacred Doongmabulla Springs from destruction by Adani’s Carmichael mine. From the clear waters to the intense courtroom battles, the documentary shows true indigenous strength. It highlights the cultural responsibility of the W&J people as they defend their ancestral waters and sacred lore. For context, the phrase “Nagana Yarrbayn” translates directly to sacred lore in the traditional Wirdi language.

The film showcase will also feature several incredible creative works:

• Short Films: Visual projects by renowned First Nations artists including Uncle Mark Cora and Laniyuk of the Larrakia people.

• Storytelling: Intimate digital art pieces showcasing a deep love for ancestral ecosystems.

• Activisms Panels: A live discussion featuring local forest protectors, humanitarian activists, and First Nations peoples.

Therefore, this incredible artistic lineup delivers a thorough exploration of what Caring for Country truly means. The combination of film and live dialogue guarantees an educational experience for all attendees.
