Carto Nullius In this episode I introduce the concept of Carto Nullius, which is strictly not linguistically correct but a play on the latin terms terra nullius, a term that for so long was used to marginalise and dispossess Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. It is my contention that cartography as a discipline has for a long time been empty of even very general traditional Aboriginal knowledge. The global renaissance of mapping technology, remote observations and need for data is an emerging sector that would be enhanced and strengthened by exposure to, partnership with and interpretation of traditional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge inputs. This podcast anticipates a seminar Kado Muir will be giving at the Geoscience Australia building in Canberra on Wednesday 10th May, 2023 at 11am, seminar title: Culturally Grounded Mapping for Country: TEK, Science & Technology Abstract Technological advances in remote sensing, mapping and data acquisition and analysis using new tools like machine learning, artificial intelligence and other digital mapping models are developed from western world views. Kado Muir offers insight into how traditional ecological knowledge contributes a culturally grounded perspective in country mapping. Geoscience Australia's Exploring for the Future program is proud to welcome Kado and thank him for his public contribution to the program's Geoscience Knowledge Sharing initiative. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kado-muir/message

What are cave dwelling Troglodytes? Is it a coincidence that places of cultural significance often seem to be in resource rich areas, for example the planned Yeelirrie Uranium mine? Why should your Financial Adviser be aware of these issues? Join us for this special Ethical Investment Week 2022 interview with Kado Muir.   It's a year since my last podcast discussion with Kado, and a lot has happened in that time. In response to the Juukan Gorge incident, the First Nations Heritage Protection Alliance was formed. In late 2021, Kado helped produce a Toolkit for Investors, designed to contribute to the protection of First Nations cultural heritage which is unique to this country and part of the common legacy of all Australians. Also, since Juukan Gorge, progress has been made in other areas - such as the Taskforce on Nature Based Financial Disclosure. In short, there's a lot happening which will assist both cultural heritage and biodiversity. Kado and I discuss this progress, along with exploring what companies can do to effectively engage with Aboriginal culture.  I hope you enjoy this discussion with Kado Muir.We wish to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land we recorded on, the Wardandi Noongar people. We pay our respects to them and their culture; and to elders past, present and future.  Links:Its-not-worth-wiping-out-a-species-for-the-yeelirrie-uranium-mineTraditional-owners-lose-their-fight-stop-uranium-mine-waMourning-an-aboriginal-deathWhat-are-the-seven-sisters-songlines

The Ngalia people of Western Australia's Central Deserts region have 23,000 square kilometers of exclusive possession Native Titled land, making them potentially the largest landowners in Australia, yet they live in poverty. In today's Sustainable Finance Podcast (SFP) episode I'm speaking with Kado Muir, a cultural leader and traditional owner among the Ngalia people. Muir and other indigenous leaders are mobilizing the transition into a new industrial age, where data sovereignty, renewable energy, Net Zero Emissions and Nature Based solutions are sustainable investment opportunities and sources of capital for new and emerging economies.

In this episode, ImpactVest guest host Paul Ellis, and host of the Sustainable Finance Podcast, speaks with anthropologist, archaeologist, linguist and cultural leader Kado Muir about his indigenous rights activism in Western Australia.

On this week's edition of the Moorditj Mag Podcast, Jim Morrison took the opportunity to chat with Jodie Nun, who is the CEO of Reconciliation Western Australia, engaging in discussion around their thoughts on the achievements and upcoming challenges associated with reconciliation. Along the way, Charlene, the lead producer of the Podcast chimes in to join the show, including Kado Muir, who is one of the leading members part of the First Nations Clean Energy Network.

In this episode Kado Muir shares some insight and awareness in relation to questions asked about the importance of cross-cultural negotiations in the native title context. He touches on some important Aboriginal cultural protocols, including use of deceased persons names, respect, reciprocity, lived experiences and offers a simple approach to finding information and planning engagements via RESPECT method. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kado-muir/message

Danny Teece Johnson yarns with Kado Muir, Chair of the … Continued

Traditional Owners celebrate the Yeelirrie approval expiry Traditional Owners of the Yeelirrie area are celebrating the expiry of the environmental approval to mine this significant area. The approval to mine Yeelirrie had a condition that required the proponent, Cameco, to mine within five years. The approval expired on 20 January 2022 with Cameco failing to meet their condition. Traditional Owners have fought against mining at Yeelirrie since the 1970's when the uranium deposit was identified by Western Mining Corporation. Kado Muir, Tjiwarl native title holder, Ngalia leader of Walkatjurra Walkabout and Chair of the West Australia Nuclear Free Alliance said “In the last 50 years our community got together, stood up strong and has fought off 3 major multinational corporations. Today we celebrate that Cameco cannot mine at Yeelirrie.” Shirley Wonyabong, Tjupan elder and senior Tjiwarl native title holder said “Mining uranium at Yeelirrie, we're going to stop it. That's the story for the Seven Sisters… the old people told me the story for that country.” “Our community has come together over this issue and we've been clear that mining at Yeelirrie will not happen. That area is important and we have a responsibility to protect that country and keep the uranium where it is. When you stay together and united and you don't let mining companies push you around you can protect country.” “Now we're calling on the government to not extend approvals to mine at Yeelirrie and to withdraw the approvals entirely. Cameco don't need another mine but our community needs certainty about the protection of this area.” “We've campaigned so long to stop mining at Yeelirrie because of the Seven Sisters the importance of that area, because of the dangers of uranium when you dig it up and because of the risk of extinction of the stygofauna. It's time now to put an end to the mining threat at Yeelirrie. Withdraw the approval.” Song by Catriona Blanke :Guardians of the Land (Reisen 2013) | https://soundcloud.com/catrionablanke --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kado-muir/message

Hello and welcome to our special Ethical Investment Week (EIW) podcast! The theme for EIW 2021 is Wayfinding for ethical investment. In its simplest definition, wayfinding is about observing the natural world in order to work out your location, orient yourself towards your destination, set a course to get you there, then dynamically respond to signs as you journey. Wayfinding is as relevant for our times as it has been throughout history. By drawing upon ancient wisdom, modern wayfinders hold insights that can make a big difference for ethical investors and a sustainable future. On that basis, who better to talk to about rich Aboriginal cultural traditions than Kado Muir! Kado is Chair of the First Nations Heritage Protection Alliance and the National Native Title Council. He is a Ngalia Traditional Owner and a Wati – a Goldfields Aboriginal cultural and community leader, and an anthropologist/archaeologist with many years' experience working in Aboriginal heritage, language preservation and maintenance, traditional ecological, education and native title research. Kado also operates a number of businesses including an Aboriginal art business, a Sandalwood company, and a heritage consultancy business. He is a long-time activist for bilingual and two way education, environmental and cultural heritage protection and promoting alternative community based enterprises, especially through his PhD university partnerships for research on Wealth in First Nations.On 24 May 2020, Rio Tinto destroyed a site that represented 46,000 years of culture and history for the Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Pinikura (PKKP) peoples of the Pilbara in Western Australia. The blast devastated a place of personal, community, national and international significance. People around the globe responded with shock and outrage. In talking to Kado, there's so much more to the story than this incident. Perhaps it's the straw that broke the camel's back, but we have so much work to do to understand cultural heritage protection. What is Free, Prior and Informed Consent? What do know about the sites we are destroying? I learnt a lot from Kado, and I couldn't let him go without giving us a dreamtime story – so make sure you stick around to the end for that! You can find Kado on LinkedIn & http://www.kadomuir.com.au To learn more about ethical investment week, please visit www.ethicaladvisercoop.com.au   For more information about James Baird and JustInvest Financial Planning see: www.justinvest.net.au  We wish to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land we recorded on, the Wardandi Noongar people. We pay our respects to them and their culture; and to elders past, present and future. 

Coffee with Samso Episode 91 is with Kado Muir, Ngalia Cultural leader and Chairman of the National Native Title Council.   In the space of mining, there is now a permanent requirement of being responsible in actions. Responsible not only to environment but also socially. Historically, mining projects has always been working hand in hand with the needs to environmentally friendly or at least be minimising the impact on the ground, water and air.   Now, the movement is to incorporate the Social and the Governance. Governance has always been left in the background and many projects have played the blind eye to governance issues in the name of business. Now with the emergence of ESG, all these issues are now required to be addresses.   I am keen to speak to Kado to get his perspective on current issues such as Juukan. I wanted to understand the significance and how Standard Operating Procedures can get it so wrong in a system so robust as Rio Tinto's strict rules.   I identify Kado as the new generation of elders in the Australian First Nation community to carry on the tradition of the people. When I speak to Kado, I feel that he is trying to bridge the gap of divide that has been lingering for decades. The establishment of Mabo was a step forward and I feel that it is only one step of many that is required.   This is the second time Kado and I have had a Coffee With Samso. The first was - Sustainable Harvesting of Sandalwood Trees: Marnta Sandalwood - but I think we never did real justice in terms of engaging more about the main issues. What we did was to bring out the history and passion of Kado's thoughts and aspiration. The development of the Sandalwood business with the thought of making it sustainable to social and environment compliments this current episode.

Last week Ngalia elder Kado Muir addressed the United Nations expert mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, speaking about Western Australia's outdated Aboriginal Heritage laws, and the state government's failure to redress the problems that allowed Juukan Gorge to be destroyed. Kado Muir's voice joins the Kimberley Land Council, the WA Alliance of Native Title Representative Bodies and Service Providers, the Australian Archaelogical Association, and the Australian Association of Consulting Archaeologists, who are all concerned about what has been called a “façade of modernisation”. Today on Understorey, Adrian Glamorgan brings you ANTAR's John McBain, who adds to these many voices by calling for the McGowan government to act on our shared cultural and human rights obligations. Will Aboriginal people be allowed to speak freely, "straight up," and able to say no? Photo: Juukan Gorge, by Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Pinikura Aboriginal Corporation (arr. A Glamorgan)

Coffee with Samso Episode 60 with Kado Muir, Founder of Marnta Sandalwood.   It takes a soulful journey to understand how to share and create a business that is using the land in a sustainable manner.   When you hear Kado Muir speak about the philosophy of is life and the history of his family, you get the sense of calmness and being in high state of satisfaction. I have know Kado since 1988 when we met on the basketball court at the University of Western Australia. I always felt that he had a higher purpose. Cut to know in 2021, you get a sense that there is a lot of wisdom in those grey hairs.   Over the time I have seen Kado being apart of many topics. In this episode of Coffee with Samso, it was great to hear that journey and how those experience have created Marnta Sandalwood.   The whole topic of Indigenous Australia and living in a sustainable manner with the land has intrigued me for many years. I recently have spoken about my interest with Mark Anderson from FISH.   We did a Rooster Talk in May 2020 called Breaking the Inter-Generational Curse where we discussed extensively about the plight of the Australian Indigenous culture.   This episode of Coffee with Samso is a great follow-up on that first chat as it was great sharing from Kado. Kado shared with us some of these topics,   Wealth generation and sharing His parents life and the books his father wrote How they lived and worked How prospecting for gold gave him the deposit to his first house Being the first Indigenous Australian to go to University? The books he has written and the creating of Marnta Sandalwood.   Links to the books that are mentioned in the Coffee with Samso   Working Together Book.

Anthropologist, archaeologist, linguist and cultural leader Kado Muir, speaking at RMIT's Activism at the Margins conference on Tuesday 11 February 2020, at Capitol Theatre, Melbourne. "Real pearls of wisdom in this talk. Land is language and identity. Walking with a thought and intention. Walking and sharing an experience and learning together and as a way to resolve conflict. A way to engage with people and country. The interconnected (repercussive) nature of our lives (we are part of the same 'system'). Restitution is happening. Native Title is designed to legitimise dispossession. The importance of campaigns (social networks, people power and enforcing delays over trespassers). Intergenerational empowerment and knowledge transmission. Passing on integrity and value. Standing up and being counted. Creating law/lore and being creative. Engage in trade networks. Create art. Tell stories. Inspire and be inspired. Defend your country. Our planet. We only have one! I love this man's fierce intellect!" Positive comments from the organisers.

On this Radioactive Show we hear from the Leonora Public Meeting held on Wongatha country, that was held after this years Walkatjurra Walkabout in the Goldfields of Western Australia. The public meeting was held on Saturday 1st September in Leonora, Goldfields, Western Australia.  It shed light on WA's nuclear free campaign and the proposed Yeelirrie and Wiluna uranium mines and the radioactive waste dump.   The public meeting gave a voice to affected communities and an opporunity for the public to ask questions on each of the proposals. Kado Muir, leader of the Nalia tribe and an applicant on the Mantjintjarra Nalia peoples native title claim from Leonora was a brilliant MC, and speakers included Vicky Abdullah (Tjiwarl), Delsan Stokes (Wongatha elder), Senator Rachel Siewert (Australian Greens), Piers Verstegen, Director Conservation Council of WA (CCWA) and Robin Chapple (WA Greens).   I’d like to acknowledge and give a massive thanks to Tjulma Pulka Aboriginal Radio Station, to Debbie and Libby Carmody who recorded this important meeting and gave me permission to use. 

Walkatjurra Walkabout 2015It's been 5 years of the Walkatjurra Walkabout, a walk from Wiluna to Leonora in Western Australia, led by Traditional Owners and focusing on preventing the expansion of the nuclear industry on country. In this show we hear excerpts from Kado Muir, a Yeelirie Traditional Owner, on his thoughts about the impacts of the mining industry, native title and Aboriginal sovereignty. We'll also hear from 3 first-time walkers, Opal, Mils and Reuben, abuot their experience on the walk. They reflect on learning first hand from Traditional Owners as well as how remote struggles connect to activism across the country.
