Ep. 10 Defending Country in the Deserts of Western Australia: Thoughts on History, Activism, Wealth and Culture.

My Culture Story with Kado Muir

Anthropologist, archaeologist, linguist and cultural leader Kado Muir, speaking at RMIT's Activism at the Margins conference on Tuesday 11 February 2020, at Capitol Theatre, Melbourne.

"Real pearls of wisdom in this talk. Land is language and identity. Walking with a thought and intention. Walking and sharing an experience and learning together and as a way to resolve conflict. A way to engage with people and country. The interconnected (repercussive) nature of our lives (we are part of the same 'system'). Restitution is happening. Native Title is designed to legitimise dispossession. The importance of campaigns (social networks, people power and enforcing delays over trespassers). Intergenerational empowerment and knowledge transmission. Passing on integrity and value. Standing up and being counted. Creating law/lore and being creative. Engage in trade networks. Create art. Tell stories. Inspire and be inspired. Defend your country. Our planet. We only have one! I love this man's fierce intellect!"

Positive comments from the organisers.
