Notes
-
In the last 150 years there have been triumphs & heartbreak, renegades and resistance, laws made for us, against us, broken by us as we, the Indigenous people, find our way in this "change" blown here by a southerly wind. Holding strong, the Murri determination to survive runs deep coming from the blood, sweat and tears of those who came before us in the "making" of this State.'
