Supporting Indigenous Rights at Waddananggu

Please join us for a vital community fundraising event supporting Waddananggu and environmental protection. This meaningful evening celebrates the ongoing fight for First Nations resilience and water protection. Dedicated advocates organize this vital gathering to inspire environmental action. The evening will bring together passionate community members, insightful speakers, and grassroots supporters. Consequently, attendees will share deep conversations around Indigenous resilience, climate justice, and land rights.

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 evening involves an exclusive documentary 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 shows 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 threaten these ancestral waters through active mining operations. 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 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 sustainable 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.
