Within Tent The Australian Aboriginal Tent Embassy celebrates its 30th anniversary this Saturday (Australia's national day, otherwise known as 'Invasion Day'). The camp was started in 1972 by a group of Aboriginals who decided that unlike other nations, theirs wasn't represented by an embassy - so they set up camp outside the then national parliament house. After several violent evictions over the years, and the seat of power since having been moved up the road, this embassy remains right under the noses of the government. It is the longest running protest camp we know of in the world. There is a celebration the 'Festival of Living Lore' 18-28th Jan on the site, featuring music, but also elders from all around the land, activists and supporters will gather around the sacred fire to pray for Aboriginal Sovereignty, and world peace.
