A Vital Community Fundraiser for Indigenous Resilience

Please join us for a powerful community fundraising event supporting Waddananggu. This special evening honors the ongoing fight for First Nations resilience and essential water protection. Dedicated advocates organize this vital gathering to inspire environmental action across Australia. The evening will bring together passionate community members, insightful speakers, and grassroots supporters. Consequently, attendees will share meaningful conversations around Indigenous cultural heritage and modern environmental campaigns.

Ditch your ordinary weekend routine to stand in solidarity with frontline caretakers. Our collective support helps protect endangered natural ecosystems for future generations. Furthermore, all funds raised across the entire evening will go directly to support Waddananggu.

Screening Nagana Yarrbayn: The Water Protectors

The primary feature of our event involves an exclusive film showcase. We will proudly host a special screening of Nagana Yarrbayn: The Water Protectors. This powerful 25-minute documentary closely follows Senior Cultural Custodian Adrian Burragubba. The film highlights the Wangan and Jagalingou (W&J) people in their courageous fight.

The community fights tirelessly to protect the sacred Doongmabulla Springs from total destruction. Massive mining corporations like Adani threaten these ancestral waters through the Carmichael mine project. From the pristine springs to the intense courtroom battles, the documentary shows incredible resistance. It records the cultural responsibility of the W&J people as they defend their sacred lore. For language context, the title “Nagana Yarrbayn” means sacred lore in the traditional Wirdi language.

The comprehensive evening program features several outstanding artistic elements:

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

• Activists Panels: A live community discussion featuring local forest protectors and humanitarian activists.

• Cultural Dialogue: Direct insights from First Nations leaders regarding land management practices.

Therefore, this unique artistic lineup delivers a thorough exploration of modern climate challenges. The combination of cinema and live dialogue guarantees an educational experience for all attendees.
