JUSTICE & PEACE CANDLIGHT WALK: "Australians can show their support for a treaty
with Australia's Indigenous peoples.
Candles will be lit for justice and peace advocating an Indigenous treaty on
Saturday 26 January, and every following first Friday
of the month throughout 2002. Walkers can gather with candles at Government
House from 6.30PM for a Peace Chant and
from 7.30PM for an 8PM start. The walk aims to protect Ngarrindjeri culture,
spiritual beliefs, lands and waters, and to stop any
nuclear waste dump on traditional lands, and from affecting the environment via
a Treaty & Bill of Rights."
It will be the twenty-second (23rd) monthly candle light walk !
Candle Light Walks are held in Adelaide at Genocide Corner
in front of Government House on the first Friday of the month.
These walks express the concern of those who wish justice for
Indigenous peoples. There's an opportunity to listen to Ngarrindjeri,
and other Indigenous Elders speak on issues affecting their people.
The microphone remains open for anyone to offer their thoughts on
current issues, to sing a song, or to share stories of struggle.
Please feel free to attend, and show support for a Treaty with
Indigenous people, a Bill of Rights, justice and peace, as well
as opposition to any nuclear dump in South Australia.
Another Candle Light Walk has begun in Perth every month,
and soon Candle Light Walks in other States may follow.
Don't worry if it will just be a small group of you to start with....
as Vincent Lingiari said: "from little things big things grow" !
