Speaker 2: Nicole Brown, Good morning to you.

11
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: Morning Katie. Thanks for having me.

12
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 2: It's always good to have you in the studio now

13
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 2: Reconciliation Week. It has been Reconciliation Week. We're coming towards

14
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 2: the end of it now. But there's been quite a

15
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 2: bit happened, hasn't the Oh, look.

16
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: There's been so much. Everyone's been celebrating businesses, schools, organizations, individuals.

17
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: It's just a time for all of us as Australians

18
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: to think about, I guess, the history of First Nations

19
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: people in this country, our cultures, our achievements, and to

20
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: really explore how each of us is in visuals can

21
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: contribute to the reconciliation narrative and towards achieving reconciliation together. Yeah,

22
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: I had to.

23
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 2: Read through a speech which I think you delivered a

24
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 2: bit earlier in the week.

25
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

26
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a great speech.

27
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: Thank You've been out and about to a few different

28
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: things this week, and it's really just sharing that story,

29
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: sharing the history, and as a proud Indigenous someone, it's

30
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: really I think I feel it's fallen upon me to

31
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: educate others as to why we are the way we are,

32
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: and it just really hits home when they go, you know,

33
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: I didn't really understand this, and I really didn't understand that.

34
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: Thank you for coming out and talking today. It's been

35
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: really good.

36
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 2: And I reckon, you know, there's a lot in there

37
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 2: which is so great, and you know which is really good,

38
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 2: you know, to have a look at. I really like

39
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: when you said that the week is a time for

40
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 2: all losses to think about our shared histories, our cultures,

41
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 2: and our achievements and to explore how each of us

42
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: can make a difference towards achieving reconciliation. I mean, how

43
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 2: do you reckon? Is that what it's about sort of

44
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 2: being a bit more understanding of each other, making sure

45
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 2: that we educate ourselves a bit better.

46
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: I think it definitely is. It's so important that we

47
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: build those respectful relationships. And I guess moving towards the

48
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: United Australia, where we have a first message voice enshrined

49
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: in the Constitution, we need allies that are coming along

50
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: on this journey to really push for it. Allies in

51
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: places that you know, make those decisions. We need you.

52
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: We need you to be part of our journey, and

53
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: we need you to understand why we are the way

54
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: we are.

55
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: And do you reckon The best way of doing that

56
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 2: is by people like yourself getting out there, you know,

57
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 2: talking to more broader audiences and telling your story and

58
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 2: making people get a you know, have that sort of

59
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 2: that groundwork and those foundations like.

60
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: It definitely is. It's small personable as well to understand

61
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 1: an individual's fight. Like I've talked during the week about

62
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: finding my voice. It was ten years ago I found

63
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: my voice when I had a child and I had

64
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: to really think about where his journey would take him,

65
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: where he be in the world, what his voice would

66
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: contribute to in the future. And it really really made

67
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: me think about it. As all young people, you know,

68
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: they are our future leaders and what journey they're going

69
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,119
Speaker 1: to take towards reconciliation together, each and every one of them,

70
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: you know, First Nations people, all races.

71
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I liked that when I saw that in his speech,

72
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 2: I thought, it's funny, isn't it. When we have kids,

73
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 2: you sometimes do it does change the way you look

74
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 2: at the world.

75
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: It does you really really reflect. And you know, I've

76
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: got a really inquisitive ten year old who's in this.

77
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: He is, and he's he's really starting to come into

78
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: his own where he's questioning things like resilience and unity,

79
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: and you know, it's really I guess leaving my heart

80
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: warm as to think we are in a really good

81
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: place where our young people are understanding what the future

82
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: is for them and how they're going to be a

83
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: really big I guess advocate, a good push, a good

84
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: drive for reconciliation moving forward.

85
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: Do you reckon that we are a little bit more

86
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 2: understanding in the territory because we're such a multicultural place

87
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 2: with such a large First Nations population.

88
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: I think we are, and I think First Nations voices

89
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: here in the Northern Territory are so strong and so powerful.

90
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: I guess we weren't first contact in australis so we

91
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: still have such a rich cultural connection to our lands

92
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: and our culture and being able to share that with

93
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: the wider community, especially during Reconciliation Week, Nytock Week, all

94
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: the other different celebrations that we have where that melting

95
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 1: pot now culture is so important that we just want

96
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: to bring everyone together to share in it. It's so

97
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: uniquely us and it is it's such a fantastic thing

98
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: to be able to share with everyone.

99
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 2: And today's Marlbo Day as well, isn't it.

100
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: It is it's a really really important day. On this day,

101
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: Eddie Quaky Marbo's challenge of Terronalius led to the legal

102
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: recognition of average Lontochoed Island the peoples as the traditional

103
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: owners and custodians of the lands, and it really really

104
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: pay the way for native title across Australia. It's been

105
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: really important journey for all of us as First Nations

106
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: people to have that recognition of country being our own.

107
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: The empowerment that comes from that. It has a flow

108
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: on effect for generations, the economic activities that we're able

109
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: to generate due to the land being ours and people

110
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: working on our land it's it's just it's amazing.

111
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 2: And then next week is Nadock Week. Is that right?

112
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: A few weeks away July the fourth to the eleventh

113
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: is Nadock Week. So actively planning Nadock Week here in Darwin.

114
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: We've got a great little group that are working together

115
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: for the betterment of the community. I think we're up

116
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: to about forty events at the moment.

117
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 2: And last last year came in and told me that

118
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 2: or was it the year before, and there was so

119
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 2: much stuff.

120
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: I thought, you're a busy woman. There is so much happening.

121
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: This year's theme is Hell Country and it's a chance

122
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 1: for us all to really look at our country and

123
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: how we are are living as individuals and you know,

124
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: being able to contribute to having a better Australia. I

125
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: take two interpretations from a healing country as individuals as

126
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: ourselves and healing country as country. You know, being able

127
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: to look after the land, looking at bushfires and traditional

128
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: burning methods, how big cooperations are now doing carbon offsets

129
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: and yeah, so it's a really good time for first

130
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: sessions people moving forward to be able to really contribute

131
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: to different narratives that affect us.

132
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 2: Well, I'm sure that we'll probably catch up with you

133
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 2: a getting a bit closer to Nydoork weak because we'll

134
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 2: to find out exactly what's on.

135
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: Definitely, Cadie, there is so much happening, and.

136
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 2: Last year COVID did impact in some ways, didn't it.

137
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: Last year we celebrated twice last year, so fortunate enough

138
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 1: to celebrate in July and a much smaller scale and

139
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: then a lot bigger in November due to the COVID

140
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: restrictions not being as heavy I think, and we ended

141
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: up having about seventy five events on with the two occasions.

142
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: So really we're looking forward to putting on a really

143
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: diverse calendar of events and really making sure that community

144
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: as a whole are celebrating with us.

145
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 2: If there are any businesses or anybody listening today who

146
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 2: are maybe keen in helping to get involved on nate

147
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 2: K Week, can they get in contact with you.

148

149
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: and it's really about sharing with everyone, bringing everyone together

150
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,200
