Visited on one day of year it rained truly beautiful. I didn't climb up twelve years ago out of being conscientious but also I heard people do die up there, much more enjoyed being with the land with an aborigine guy who personally guided me.

In Adelaide as a naive kid from England aged 18 all alone I visited a southern Australia state museum exhibit about the institutionalised aborigine children, it was a week day so few people were around, it made me cry, but nothing even remotely close to the way aborigines feel then and now.

What should make you cry is that the full bloods are living in the bush with no money whatsoever in the worst poverty on earth while they're white cousins are stealing all the money

[@f8ofk8]

Beautiful, powerful words.

Very appropriate that Megan Davis be the first to read the statement. Who does she work for, Government Referendum Council or for Indigenous? Who does the Statement proposals benefit, Government or Indigenous?

[@romaglue]

You missed the beginning bit?

[@James-kv6kb]

This is the problem the full bloods are never allowed to be involved they only get one or two in for the photos

[@saskiademoor8400]

we have copied the Uluru Statement from the Heart last week (September 2018) and attached a petition to it to be signed by at least 1000 people in our small community in NIMBIN NSW. Then we will send it to Canberra. This is the LEAST we can do to support this crucial process. Maybe ALL towns and villages can copy the Uluru statement and attach a petition?

The fight is not over. Aboriginal people have lost the battle but will win the war in the end because sovereignty will never be ceded nor extinguished forever and ever!!!

Vote No.

[@maurice7783]

We are voting "Yes" all the way

[@harpersneil]

@@maurice7783 That's beauty of democracy, one man, one vote. But you'll always be trying to support a sub-species of human that can't stand on its on feet

[@maurice7783]

@@harpersneil You are rude and racist. Indigineous are not "subspecies" of humans. They are greatly skilled in the arts, hunting and environment preservations. As you mentioned one man, one vote, next year I would vote for Aboriginals to finally have a voice in their own land. I live in Melbourne and I know so many people are exicted to vote "Yes" for the voice to parliament.

@@maurice7783 40,000 years and literally nothing to show for it. What can't talk, can't lie. You may find me offensive, but you can't argue with what I'm saying. Throwing up over the back of your hand in a cave, does not constitute 'art'. Burning most of the continent to the ground does not constitute 'hunting'. They're only alive today because we permit it. That's a fact.
