ABSTRACT
There is an historic significance about this place. The campfire is on Aboriginal land. All of this land is Aboriginal land on the continent called Australia. Where I am sitting now: it’s the Aboriginal Tent Embassy. And it’s the twentieth anniversary of the Tent Embassy. And it was raised twenty years ago to confront white Australia with the fact that we – the Aboriginal people, the sovereign owners of this land – were being denied our land. We would not accept it any longer. It was again a time for confrontation. Our people were dying and being driven off the land.
