44
00:02:15,551 --> 00:02:20,391
Speaker 6: January twenty sixth, it's a day I stand intentionally in

45
00:02:20,431 --> 00:02:25,311
Speaker 6: solidarity with mob. You know, I'm here to listen to

46
00:02:25,391 --> 00:02:29,231
Speaker 6: your history, to your pain and do whatever I can

47
00:02:29,471 --> 00:02:32,911
Speaker 6: as an l I to support the movement to change

48
00:02:32,951 --> 00:02:33,351
Speaker 6: the date.

49
00:02:33,431 --> 00:02:36,111
Speaker 2: Before you leave, what would you say to people that

50
00:02:36,151 --> 00:02:39,391
Speaker 2: have never come to this festival here on Gaddigle Country.

51
00:02:39,151 --> 00:02:43,631
Speaker 6: Make your way down. It is so beautiful, the energy,

52
00:02:44,271 --> 00:02:48,191
Speaker 6: the love is really palpable in the air. My friend

53
00:02:48,271 --> 00:02:50,231
Speaker 6: and I were saying how it really does feel like

54
00:02:50,511 --> 00:02:54,551
Speaker 6: a safe space. I felt quite emotional walking in, particularly

55
00:02:54,551 --> 00:02:57,711
Speaker 6: with what's happening around the world and the amount of

56
00:02:57,911 --> 00:03:01,871
Speaker 6: you know, viitriol and misinformation which is now seeping unfortunately

57
00:03:01,951 --> 00:03:06,111
Speaker 6: into Australia, and you know, the weak politicians trying to

58
00:03:06,151 --> 00:03:08,871
Speaker 6: win quick, cheap political points. So just to be here

59
00:03:09,631 --> 00:03:13,031
Speaker 6: around mob and allies has just been really cathartic.

60
00:03:13,351 --> 00:03:15,151
Speaker 1: Love it your mind, Sarah Dylan.

61
00:03:15,991 --> 00:03:17,391
Speaker 7: I think I came to yab in the first time

62
00:03:17,391 --> 00:03:19,831
Speaker 7: a few years back and I instantly felt like this

63
00:03:19,951 --> 00:03:21,591
Speaker 7: is the only place I want to be on Jane

64
00:03:21,631 --> 00:03:23,511
Speaker 7: twenty six. It weighs heavy on my heart that we

65
00:03:23,511 --> 00:03:26,311
Speaker 7: still celebrate this as a national holiday without having reconciled

66
00:03:26,351 --> 00:03:28,471
Speaker 7: with that Aboriginal history, and I think this is a

67
00:03:28,511 --> 00:03:31,071
Speaker 7: safe place where we can come and really do what

68
00:03:31,111 --> 00:03:32,831
Speaker 7: I think we should be doing on a national holiday,

69
00:03:32,871 --> 00:03:35,991
Speaker 7: which is celebrate the amazing indigenous culture that defines this

70
00:03:36,071 --> 00:03:37,911
Speaker 7: country and We'll continue to find this country and I

71
00:03:37,951 --> 00:03:40,631
Speaker 7: love coming here, the joy and just that expression of

72
00:03:40,711 --> 00:03:42,671
Speaker 7: really cultures coming together in celebration.

73
00:03:43,151 --> 00:03:47,831
Speaker 2: You've been around this massive park. What's been your highlights? Like,

74
00:03:47,951 --> 00:03:49,871
Speaker 2: is there any sties there that you can share?

75
00:03:49,991 --> 00:03:53,151
Speaker 1: Plug the remote plug? I mean, it's incredible. What I

76
00:03:53,191 --> 00:03:54,831
Speaker 1: love is it? It's grown so much. There's so much

77
00:03:54,871 --> 00:03:55,951
Speaker 1: like amazing like.

78
00:03:56,031 --> 00:03:58,511

Speaker 7: corroboree this morning, like watching some of the dancing and

80
00:04:01,031 --> 00:04:04,111
Speaker 7: singing was just incredible and so moving and yet so joyful.

81
00:04:04,351 --> 00:04:07,711
Speaker 7: Such an excellent place for so many different excellens companies

Speaker 5: I haven't actually been to Yarbin for about ten years,

105
00:05:11,231 --> 00:05:13,111
Speaker 5: so I was excited to come back this year. I

106
00:05:13,111 --> 00:05:14,831
Speaker 5: thought it would be nice to just do something a

107
00:05:14,831 --> 00:05:17,951
Speaker 5: little bit different, come and have a celebration with the

108
00:05:17,991 --> 00:05:21,471
Speaker 5: mob and really be around some positivity at this time.

109
00:05:21,551 --> 00:05:23,791
Speaker 5: I think the last couple of years been a bit heavy,

110
00:05:23,871 --> 00:05:26,631
Speaker 5: so it's nice to really be here to celebrate.

111
00:05:27,231 --> 00:05:29,711
Speaker 2: What do you think in terms of the difference from

112
00:05:29,711 --> 00:05:33,231
Speaker 2: ten years ago to now, what's been the biggest change.

113
00:05:33,311 --> 00:05:36,111
Speaker 5: I think the change here is that there is so

114
00:05:36,231 --> 00:05:37,671
Speaker 5: much more diversity and people.

115
00:05:37,831 --> 00:05:38,431
Speaker 6: It's grown.

116
00:05:38,871 --> 00:05:41,271
Speaker 5: It's not just be mob, it's not mom, It's lots

117
00:05:41,271 --> 00:05:44,311
Speaker 5: of allies and supporters that are obviously walking with us,

118
00:05:44,351 --> 00:05:46,311
Speaker 5: which is fantastic to see and.

119
00:05:46,391 --> 00:05:48,271
Speaker 2: So far, I know the day is only kind of

120
00:05:48,311 --> 00:05:50,111
Speaker 2: just begin. What's been your highlight, the.

121
00:05:50,111 --> 00:05:52,351
Speaker 5: Highlight of seeing all the stores. So it's fantastic to

122
00:05:52,351 --> 00:05:55,151
Speaker 5: see so many indigenous businesses that are here, all different

123
00:05:55,151 --> 00:05:57,551
Speaker 5: types of products as well. I think that's really different.

124
00:05:57,671 --> 00:06:01,471
Speaker 5: Previously I think it was like government organizations and community

125
00:06:01,511 --> 00:06:03,391
Speaker 5: services and things like that, which I think, you know,

126
00:06:03,631 --> 00:06:05,951
Speaker 5: it's really nice to have, but having the indigenous businesses

127
00:06:06,031 --> 00:06:07,951
Speaker 5: showcase their products just.

128
00:06:07,991 --> 00:06:12,951
Speaker 2: Like mob grassroots, Mums, little Fullers, jar Jim Dollies.

129
00:06:13,231 --> 00:06:15,191

00:06:34,351 --> 00:06:37,991
Speaker 3: I'm a proud Gomorroy descendant. My name is Shri Johnson

139
00:06:38,391 --> 00:06:40,791
Speaker 3: and I actually used to march.

140
00:06:40,551 --> 00:06:43,391
Speaker 1: With my nan when Yarbin was at Lapa.

141
00:06:43,711 --> 00:06:46,951
Speaker 3: So for me, Yarbin's been a part of my life

142
00:06:47,511 --> 00:06:49,671
Speaker 3: is survival day for us, it's a day where you

143
00:06:49,751 --> 00:06:53,511
Speaker 3: come together because sometimes we don't quite know what to

144
00:06:53,511 --> 00:06:56,431
Speaker 3: do with ourselves because it does drop a lot of emotions,

145
00:06:56,431 --> 00:06:59,391
Speaker 3: but when we're together, it's just solid. Yeah, it's really good.

146
00:06:59,711 --> 00:07:01,391
Speaker 1: It's so deadly, just speak.

147
00:07:01,511 --> 00:07:04,791

Speaker 1: Though I'll go the blues. We're here.

170
00:07:58,751 --> 00:08:01,631
Speaker 2: Tell us why did you come to Yarborn when you

171
00:08:01,671 --> 00:08:02,671
Speaker 2: live in Queensland.

172
00:08:02,871 --> 00:08:05,591
Speaker 9: Yeah, well I have been to the oven for years

173
00:08:05,871 --> 00:08:08,271
Speaker 9: and I thought it was a great time to come

174
00:08:08,271 --> 00:08:11,111
Speaker 9: again when I haven't been feeling the best in myself

175
00:08:11,191 --> 00:08:14,431
Speaker 9: and like being around Malvern community. And this must be

176
00:08:14,471 --> 00:08:16,271
Speaker 9: one of the I don't know the stats, but it

177
00:08:16,311 --> 00:08:19,591
Speaker 9: has to be one of the biggest places for Indigenous people,

178
00:08:19,751 --> 00:08:22,631
Speaker 9: probably in the southern hemisphere. This is what I needed

179
00:08:22,631 --> 00:08:24,351
Speaker 9: and I feel so good to be here here.

180
00:08:24,671 --> 00:08:26,871
Speaker 2: Well, last night I was a little bit restless and

181
00:08:26,871 --> 00:08:30,431
Speaker 2: could get to bed, turn on the TV and DOCO

182
00:08:30,591 --> 00:08:33,271
Speaker 2: eighty eight came on and my grandmother's voice to my

183
00:08:33,391 --> 00:08:35,351
Speaker 2: dad's voice, I could.

184
00:08:35,111 --> 00:08:37,551
Speaker 1: Not believe, and I was like, you know what. It

185
00:08:37,631 --> 00:08:38,591
Speaker 1: was actually.

186
00:08:39,911 --> 00:08:44,511
Speaker 2: Capturing the Jan twenty six convoy back in nineteen eighty eight,

187
00:08:44,591 --> 00:08:47,791
Speaker 2: and it was the first probably national gathering of blackfellows

188
00:08:47,831 --> 00:08:50,351
Speaker 2: here in Redferd. And here we are today on Jan

189
00:08:50,431 --> 00:08:54,431
Speaker 2: twenty six, still coming together, and still it's all about

190
00:08:54,471 --> 00:08:57,151
Speaker 2: just finding for rights. It's more about letting people know

191
00:08:57,271 --> 00:09:01,671
Speaker 2: that we're here. We're deadly. Look at the black excellence

192
00:09:01,871 --> 00:09:04,311
Speaker 2: in this park today. So for peace that have never

193
00:09:04,351 --> 00:09:07,591
Speaker 2: been to yarb and what will they experience at this festival.

194
00:09:07,751 --> 00:09:08,071
Speaker 1: Yeah.

195
00:09:08,151 --> 00:09:10,791
Speaker 9: I encourage all people to come. And I think that's

196
00:09:10,791 --> 00:09:12,551
Speaker 9: the difference in the journey over the year, is that

197
00:09:12,591 --> 00:09:18,071
Speaker 9: we see more allies, more accomplices, people standing in solidarity

198
00:09:18,271 --> 00:09:22,431
Speaker 9: with us, walking alongside us. And if you come here, yeah,

199
00:09:22,471 --> 00:09:25,751
Speaker 9: you're going to learn more about excellence, but you'll also

200
00:09:25,871 --> 00:09:30,031
Speaker 9: learn about what's some of the issues that Indigenous people

201
00:09:30,071 --> 00:09:33,151
Speaker 9: face and you actually realize those issues are no fault

202
00:09:33,191 --> 00:09:36,911
Speaker 9: of our own and what you can do to support

203
00:09:36,911 --> 00:09:38,711
Speaker 9: that and work with us.

204
00:09:38,831 --> 00:09:39,311
Speaker 10: It's a bit of.

205
00:09:39,311 --> 00:09:40,111
Speaker 9: Outcome for everyone.

206
00:09:40,511 --> 00:09:42,911
Speaker 2: Of course, we just need to make time for each other.

207
00:09:43,031 --> 00:09:44,911
Speaker 2: We do, and today's an opportunity for a lot of

208
00:09:44,911 --> 00:09:49,671
Speaker 2: non Aboriginal people to actually come and yearn with people.

209
00:09:49,711 --> 00:09:51,391
Speaker 2: Go and sit in different tents, go and listen to

282
00:13:06,751 --> 00:13:09,991
Speaker 4: that's amazing and we need more of that because you know,

283
00:13:10,191 --> 00:13:14,911
Speaker 4: unfortunately sometimes we're by ourselves, we're alone, and you know,

284
00:13:15,271 --> 00:13:17,271
Speaker 4: us mob, we're going to remember We're not alone. We've

Speaker 4: on supporting you.

288
00:13:23,071 --> 00:13:24,471
Speaker 1: What's happening with Walk about.

289
00:13:24,231 --> 00:13:27,951
Speaker 4: Bar Yeah, based in Newcastle, we travel out to communities

290
00:13:27,951 --> 00:13:32,391
Speaker 4: across Australia from newy We do about fifty five programs

291
00:13:32,391 --> 00:13:35,911
Speaker 4: a year across Australia. So you know, we get the

292
00:13:35,951 --> 00:13:41,271
Speaker 4: mobile buses, trucks, trailers, We've got all Aboriginal tires, Straight

293
00:13:41,351 --> 00:13:45,431
Speaker 4: Island employee sector. So we give our mob our first

294
00:13:45,431 --> 00:13:47,631
Speaker 4: crack at jobs and get them out amongst it. And

295
00:13:47,751 --> 00:13:51,511
Speaker 4: it's all about cutting hair and having conversations and mental health,

296
00:13:51,511 --> 00:13:53,031
Speaker 4: first aid and suicide prevention.

297
00:13:53,271 --> 00:13:54,511
Speaker 10: I went down that path when I was.

298
00:13:54,511 --> 00:13:56,831
Speaker 4: Younger and now I'm at war against suicide and it's

299
00:13:56,871 --> 00:13:58,631
Speaker 4: about helping other people to help themselves.

300
00:13:58,711 --> 00:14:00,431
Speaker 10: And what better way to do that?

301
00:14:00,511 --> 00:14:02,831
Speaker 4: And then you do it from behind a barbergeare and

302
00:14:02,951 --> 00:14:04,951
Speaker 4: you know, have a young under people and I'm just

303
00:14:04,991 --> 00:14:07,231
Speaker 4: lucky enough that I've got a degree in traum and

304
00:14:07,271 --> 00:14:10,151
Speaker 4: recovery work and I can give them professional advice. And

305
00:14:10,311 --> 00:14:12,551
Speaker 4: this is our little part of the jigsaw puzzle. There's

306
00:14:12,551 --> 00:14:15,191
Speaker 4: many pieces of the jigsaw puzzle. Floating around in communities

307
00:14:15,231 --> 00:14:17,391
Speaker 4: and we're just one piece. But if we all put

308
00:14:17,431 --> 00:14:20,311
Speaker 4: our piece in the right spot, the full picture appears,

309
00:14:20,351 --> 00:14:23,111
Speaker 4: and you know, it shows what we can do.

310
00:14:23,351 --> 00:14:25,671
Speaker 2: Of course, and in terms for our mob, we've got

311
00:14:25,671 --> 00:14:28,791
Speaker 2: the highest rate of suicide, especially amongst our youth in

312
00:14:28,831 --> 00:14:33,311
Speaker 2: the world, so we need more, especially organizations with grass roots,

313
00:14:33,751 --> 00:14:37,791
Speaker 2: people that have lived it, experienced it and studied it

314
00:14:37,991 --> 00:14:40,271
Speaker 2: and then cut here, while are you having these yarns?

315
00:14:40,271 --> 00:14:40,751
Speaker 1: How deadly?

316
00:14:41,231 --> 00:14:41,431
Speaker 9: Look?

317
00:14:41,711 --> 00:14:44,311
Speaker 4: It is deadly because when people come into our spaces,

318
00:14:44,391 --> 00:14:46,711
Speaker 4: they don't you know, they don't have the pressure sitting

319
00:14:46,711 --> 00:14:49,071
Speaker 4: in a clinical space in four walls talking to a

320
00:14:49,071 --> 00:14:50,671
Speaker 4: psychologist or a psychiatrist.

321
00:14:50,871 --> 00:14:53,071
Speaker 10: They're with their own mob. They're in a space where

322
00:14:53,111 --> 00:14:54,671
Speaker 10: there's music going. It's comfortable.

323
00:14:54,711 --> 00:14:56,951
Speaker 4: And when we put the cape on, especially men, they

324
00:14:56,951 --> 00:14:59,311
Speaker 4: start talking from a different place. And that makes me

325
00:14:59,431 --> 00:15:01,591
Speaker 4: proud because if men want to share this stories, well,

326
00:15:01,591 --> 00:15:04,071
Speaker 4: we've got to be there to listen. And old lady

327
00:15:04,111 --> 00:15:05,631
Speaker 4: once come up to me, she said, son, if you

328
00:15:05,671 --> 00:15:07,231
Speaker 4: fix my man, you fix my family.

329
00:15:07,391 --> 00:15:08,551
Speaker 10: And that's always stuck with me.

330
00:15:08,871 --> 00:15:11,471
Speaker 4: So our women have been the backbone of communities for

331
00:15:11,511 --> 00:15:13,231
Speaker 4: a long long time, and now it's time for us

332
00:15:13,311 --> 00:15:15,311
Speaker 4: men to rise up and not rise above them, but

333
00:15:15,351 --> 00:15:18,431
Speaker 4: walk beside them and do our thing and make our

334
00:15:18,511 --> 00:15:22,151
Speaker 4: families and our communities are not just a protective place

335
00:15:22,151 --> 00:15:26,071
Speaker 4: to be, but a space where everyone is well and

336
00:15:26,111 --> 00:15:27,031
Speaker 4: we're doing well in.

337
00:15:27,711 --> 00:15:30,351
Speaker 2: I've got goose films all over me, and I'm sure

338
00:15:30,351 --> 00:15:32,671
Speaker 2: people that are listening are also feeling the strength and

339
00:15:32,711 --> 00:15:33,991
Speaker 2: the power within your message.

340
00:15:34,031 --> 00:15:36,031
Speaker 1: Just to let people know that there.

341
00:15:35,911 --> 00:15:39,751
Speaker 2: Are organizations and there are about there that are ready

342
00:15:39,791 --> 00:15:41,111
Speaker 2: to have a yarn and to be able to listen

343
00:15:41,151 --> 00:15:43,431
Speaker 2: to your stories. So I know there is a national

344
00:15:43,511 --> 00:15:45,031
Speaker 2: number right, one three.

345
00:15:44,911 --> 00:15:47,951
Speaker 4: Yarn, Yes, one three yarns out there. There's quite a

346
00:15:47,951 --> 00:15:51,271
Speaker 4: few out there, but they're across most socials. Whatever you do,

347
00:15:51,591 --> 00:15:53,871
Speaker 4: just don't be afraid to ask for help. And help's

348
00:15:53,911 --> 00:15:55,711
Speaker 4: not a dirty word, and it's not a word that

349
00:15:55,831 --> 00:15:58,151
Speaker 4: don't show you're going to be judged. Yeah, yeah, Look,

350
00:15:58,151 --> 00:16:00,791
Speaker 4: I ask for help all the time. And I'm fifty

351
00:16:00,791 --> 00:16:02,991
Speaker 4: two years of age now, and you know I was

352
00:16:03,071 --> 00:16:05,791
Speaker 4: raised not that's for help and not to show that

353
00:16:05,871 --> 00:16:09,111
Speaker 4: I was hurting or show that I you know that

354
00:16:09,191 --> 00:16:11,711
Speaker 4: I was unwell. But you know that was the old

355
00:16:11,751 --> 00:16:14,111
Speaker 4: way of raising men. But now we've got to change that.

356
00:16:14,151 --> 00:16:16,711
Speaker 4: We've got to unprogrammed that and reprogram the right tools

357
00:16:16,951 --> 00:16:20,191
Speaker 4: so men are standing on the rain two feet and

358
00:16:20,231 --> 00:16:22,991
Speaker 4: can actually look after themselves when there's nobody.

385
00:17:30,311 --> 00:17:32,711
Speaker 2: if you don't know them, there's an opportunity to build

386
00:17:32,751 --> 00:17:35,351
Speaker 2: these relationships and get to know some of the people

387
00:17:35,351 --> 00:17:35,831

Speaker 12: and the diversity that we have, The strength and the

439
00:20:08,071 --> 00:20:12,511
Speaker 12: unity that you feel, and so seeing I guess everyone

440
00:20:12,991 --> 00:20:17,871
Speaker 12: wanting to unite and to just I guess reflect on

441
00:20:17,991 --> 00:20:21,991
Speaker 12: our journey, where we come from and how we've got

442
00:20:22,031 --> 00:20:24,711
Speaker 12: so much more to give. I think in this time

443
00:20:24,751 --> 00:20:28,871
Speaker 12: and era, we really need to stand strong together and

444
00:20:28,911 --> 00:20:31,951
Speaker 12: knowing that we have so much that a lot of

445
00:20:31,991 --> 00:20:36,791
Speaker 12: other Australians have not even tapped into. So the rich culture,

446
00:20:38,111 --> 00:20:42,831
Speaker 12: how we have survived, how we are still thriving, and

447
00:20:42,871 --> 00:20:45,391
Speaker 12: how we still staying strong. But we still need to

448
00:20:45,511 --> 00:20:49,711
Speaker 12: unite and to have that broader message across the greater

449
00:20:49,751 --> 00:20:53,231
Speaker 12: Australian nation because we've got so much more to give.

450
00:20:53,271 --> 00:20:56,671

00:25:57,871 --> 00:25:59,071
Speaker 1: How many Arbans have you been do?

564
00:26:00,311 --> 00:26:02,071
Speaker 13: I would have started when I was at at least

565
00:26:02,511 --> 00:26:04,271
Speaker 13: nine or ten. I came to my first Young Black

566
00:26:04,271 --> 00:26:05,671

567
00:26:05,671 --> 00:26:06,671
Speaker 13: stage over to the right.

568
00:26:06,951 --> 00:26:08,111
Speaker 1: Yes, that was a year.

569
00:26:07,991 --> 00:26:10,391
Speaker 13: Back in twenty nine, two thousand and nine, twenty ten,

570
00:26:10,791 --> 00:26:12,471
Speaker 13: so I've been to quite a lot. And then I

571
00:26:12,511 --> 00:26:15,551
Speaker 13: got to perform at one and in twenty eighteen first an.

572
00:26:15,951 --> 00:26:18,151
Speaker 13: It was amazing. We had that crowd packed out, the

573
00:26:18,151 --> 00:26:20,831
Speaker 13: Black Divers. Yes, of course I was the Beyonce of

574
00:26:20,831 --> 00:26:22,191
Speaker 13: the group, and I had my Kelly and my Michelle,

575
00:26:22,311 --> 00:26:27,111
Speaker 13: naw Gavin. But yeah, it's just every year I look

576
00:26:27,151 --> 00:26:29,311
Speaker 13: forward to coming to yarb and it's it's an event

578
00:26:31,911 --> 00:26:34,391

579
00:26:34,751 --> 00:26:36,791
Speaker 13: of course seeing our allies here as well. Today that's

580
00:26:36,791 --> 00:26:38,351
Speaker 13: probably one of the most amazing things for me, you know,

581
00:26:38,431 --> 00:26:40,591
Speaker 13: seeing them all like the rally, non Indigenous brothers and

582

Speaker 1: And what's been your highlight of the day so far?

585
00:26:48,791 --> 00:26:51,151

587

00:26:58,511 --> 00:26:59,431

00:27:08,511 --> 00:27:09,151
Speaker 13: anything at all.

595
00:27:10,031 --> 00:27:13,231

597
