Song Nation Volume 1 - Track 11

Created over 5 days in August 2012, in partnership with Outback Arts and Walgett Shire Council. Walgett is a small town in northwest NSW, on the junction of the Namoi and Barwon rivers.

this song, written with young people from Walgett High School advocates awareness around local culture and social issues, acknowledging the bleak social history in Australian Indigenous communities, whilst challenging young people and local community members to create change for the future.

A special thanks to Roslyn McGregor for her ongoing support, her unwavering strength and her commitment to her people and their cultural identity.

Thanks to James Pike, Anne Dennis, Tanya Coelho, Rob Holden, Walgett Local Aboriginal Lands Council, Susan Lawrence, Outback Arts, Walgett Shire Council and the Walgett community.

We pay our respects to the Gamilaraay / Yuwaalaraay people - traditional owners of the country upon which this story was told.

LYRICS

This is for the Gingie, The Namoi, the Up-Town Mob
Warriors, worm eaters and the water dogs
This for the young fullas, the mud runners
My sisters, my brothers -- the young mothers

Yaama (welcome) cuz, welcome to Walgett - The Gate
Where the Barwon meet the Namoi - Northwest of the state
Appreciate. We all over the track
Kamileroi - black land, bringin' it back

Yulagi Yugul (song & dance) in the sand hill
Spirit make a man stand still - shape my life like an anvil
Black land still - bawal and dhagan
Back from the dreaming to a hip-hop yarn

We're movin, lookin for change
We're young, back and proud and we're still in the game
Get movin - we're our own worst enemy
Stompin up the sand on Kamileroi territory

Minya! (what's that) Who's that fella ridin' up the track
His name is Thomas Mitchell and his skin ain't black
That's a fact - black people rounded up around the nation
Stolen generation to Angledool Station

Facin'. Something called segregation
Invasion, racism for a whole generation
My 'lation - Charlie Perkins on the bus
Riding for freedom said, "enough is enough"

We're movin, lookin for change
We're young, back and proud and we're still in the game
Get movin - we're our own worst enemy
Stompin up the sand on Kamileroi territory
