First Nations women are walking from Melbourne to Canberra
to declare our freedom from the illegal nation called Australia
and claim sovereignty under the universal rule of natural law.
First Nations Womens
Ceremonial Walk for Freedom
U
ntil 1788, First Nations people lived
here in harmony with the land and each
other for more than 60,000 years. After
1788, when the British invaded, First Nations
people were hunted and killed; we were
forced off our traditional homelands and
dispersed and divided. In the process we lost
the connection with our country, culture, law,
and with the creator spirit, which had kept our
communities strong and healthy for so long.
Why are we walking? We are walking because
for too long our sisters, aunties, mothers and
grandmothers have been witness to the pain
and suffering, hopelessness and despair of our
people that is a result of systematic genocide
and the destruction of our homelands. This has
resulted in severe physical, mental, emotional
and spiritual harm being done to the original
Australians over a period of 226 years.
This genocide continues today, with increasing
rates of children being forcibly taken from First
Nations families. The rate of suicide amongst our
young men is one of the highest in the world and
the gap between the average life span of First
Nations people and other Australians is over ten
years and growing. While our people have suf-
fered and continue to suffer, Australians have
proted from taking possession of our land and
our resources, through a corrupt system of pri-
vate property and mining for corporate prot.
We are walking to set our people free from bond-
age to an alien law system that is not of our own
choosing. We never consented to becoming Aus-
tralians we had no choice. As First Nations
people we are bound by the rst law of Gond-
wana land, which encompasses all humans, and
that is the law of the creator spirit - the universal
rule of natural law.
