Christmastide - John 1:1-18 - Weaving the Word. In this time of Christmas tide we have decided to revisit a stunning sermon from 3 years ago. I invite you to take this moment: breathe, relax and immerse yourself in the poetics of palawa woman Alison Overeem as she reflects upon the Gospel of John, weaving stories into the flight of butterflies. Alison Overeem is a proud palawa woman from South-East Tasmania who is driven by culture, family, empowerment and creating safe spaces to build hope and healing. Alison is passionate about raising awareness of Aboriginal culture and history and the rights of women in society. As a result, Alison was a past member of the Tasmanian Women's Council. While working in aged care at the age of 16, Alison studied for a Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood) and graduated in 1989. Alison established the Aboriginal Children's Centre at West Moonah in 1989. As Director of the Aboriginal Children's Centre from 1989 to 2013, she helped design a state-of-the-art, award-winning, culturally inclusive children's centre at Risdon Cove. Alison believes she was fortunate to be at the forefront of developing a multifunctional Aboriginal service, the first of its kind in Tasmania. It was, in fact, a precursor to the Child and Family Centres rolled out across Tasmania in recent years. In 2013, Alison was appointed as the Leprena Manager, Uniting Aboriginal and Islander Christian Congress (UAICC Tasmania). Alison has been instrumental in broadening Leprena's engagement, networking and connections. Leprena's mission is to be the lead provider of cultural and spiritual learning and immersion, uniting First and Second Peoples through Tasmanian Aboriginal culture, and the National UAICC story, across the nation. Leprena promotes a shared learning and unlearning between First and Second Peoples and provides projects and programs in a culturally and spiritually safe space by facilitating gatherings centred on cultural, emotional and social wellness. Leprena also provides training to church communities, not-for-profits, government and non-government organisations and educational groups. Alison is also heavily involved with multiple advocacy, policy and strategic planning committees. She is a member of the UAICC National Executive, Uniting Care board of Australia, Uniting Church Assembly Standing Committee, Advocate for the Walking Together circle for the National UCA Assembly, co-chair of the UCA Vic Tas Walking Together committee and various others.   Alison has made numerous contributions to publications and resources nationally around culturally inclusive practice models of service delivery for Aboriginal communities. She has also been involved in advocacy and policies impacting social justice movements and climate change. Alison has a Bachelor of Education and an Advanced Diploma in Management.

 Acknowledgement of Country// Headlines// Declan Furber Gillick, Arrernte writer and political organiser and representative of the Black Peoples Union, spoke with Inez about last weekend's community picket of Webb Dock in Port Melbourne. The picket, organised by activists including those from Unionists for Palestine, Free Palestine Melbourne, WACA and Black Peoples Union, successfully prevented the docking and unloading of Israeli shipping company Zim's vessel Ganges for multiple days. This conversation touched on campaign wins and the importance of material anti-colonial solidarity in the face of Israel's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.// Nerita Waight, Yorta Yorta, Ngarrindjeri and Taungurung person and CEO of the Victorian Aboriginal Legal Service, joined us to discuss VALS' 2024 Invasion Day webinar, which will run today from 4PM AEDT.

Tunnerminnerwait and Maulboyheenner were two Tasmanian Aboriginal freedom fighters who were brought to and hanged in Victoria, the first people to be officially executed in Melbourne.// We heard an excerpt of the plenary discussion between Wayne Coco Wharton and Djuran Bunjileenee Robbie Thorpe, held on day two of the Australian Student Environment Network's Victoria Training Camp last week. In this segment, Uncle Coco speaks about honouring a legacy of First Nations resistance and what it means to keep fighting for freedom against the genocidal Australian colony. Follow Treaty Before Voice for updates on how to keep supporting sovereign First Nations resistance organising guided by staunch, lifelong activists including Uncle Coco and Uncle Robbie, on both Invasion Day and year-round.// We listened back to a segment from a webinar co-convened by Hirak and Black Peoples Union on Saturday the 20th of January titled 'Towards anti-colonialism, anti-imperialism and liberation'. The event featured Keiran Stewart-Assheton and Leah House of Black Peoples Union in conversation with Amal Naser, Jamal Nabulsi and Lina Koleilat of the Palestinian collective Hirak. The excerpt we'll play today includes commentary by Keiran and Leah on decolonizing your mind, what real solidarity means, and debunking the con of reconciliation.//

Former physiotherapist, 2012 Masterchef Australia finalist, and most recently CEO of Sydney's Lotus Dining Group, Mindy Woods is currently studying sustainable horticulture and bush food with the goal of protecting native foods, the environment and re-igniting Indigenous culture.You must taste a culture to truly understand it. That's why Mindy, a proud First Nations woman, opened her very own native inspired restaurant Karkalla on Ancestral country, creating opportunities for indigenous and non-indigenous people to connect with Aboriginal culture, art, and stories through food.Visit Northern Tasmania CEO, Tracey Mallett, sat down with Mindy at the 2023 Tasmanian Tourism Conference where they discussed all things native Tasmanian food and the many ways in which this can be incorporated into tourism and hospitality businesses. If you are into your food – and let's be honest, who isn't? – then you must give this episode a listen. Food is a natural connector – you already have people's buy-in before they take their first bite. But there's so many opportunities to tell the story behind the food. Mindy explains how we, as Australians, come from the land of the original storytellers. We come from such a rich and abundant culture, and we often forget this and what's in our own backyards. Australians travel elsewhere for food experiences, but we have the world's oldest surviving civilisation and ingredients right here.Behind every producer and their land is a great story to tell, and it's by collaborating and connecting with others – especially the Tasmanian Aboriginal community – that you discover what this story is and how you can share it with visitors and locals alike. It is within these conversations and learnings that positive impact is maximised. Today's episode is brought to you by our partner, VXT. VXT is a purpose-built organization with the sole purpose to train a hospitality and tourism workforce to deliver the Tasmanian workforce. VXT offers an array of industry-led, outcome-focused training courses both online and around Tasmania. Thanks to VXT for their generous support of TICT and for helping to make this episode of Talking Tourism possible.

When Truganini died, she was mistakenly declared the last Tasmanian Aboriginal.

The former Prime Minister Scott Morrison defends his decision to be secretly sworn in to ministerial portfolios, saying the COVID-19 pandemic called for extraordinary measures. The current prime minister says it's the secrecy that troubles him. Pressure is mounting on governments around Australia to prevent young children being put in jail, arrested or even strip-searched. A group of legal groups and child advocates are pushing for the minimum age of criminal responsibility to be raised from 10 to 14 in every state and territory.  For decades Tasmanian Aboriginal people have fought for a statue of divisive former state premier William Crowther to be removed from a public square. Now they've had a win.

Nicholas, today's guest, explains Australia has no war hero more impressive than Tongerlongeter. Leader of the Oyster Bay nation of south-east Tasmania in the 1820s and '30s, he and his allies led the most effective frontier resistance ever mounted on Australian soil. They killed or wounded some 354 – or 4 per cent – of the invaders of their country. Tongerlongeter's brilliant campaign inspired terror throughout the colony, forcing Governor George Arthur to launch a massive military operation in 1830 – the infamous Black Line. Tongerlongeter escaped but the cumulative losses had taken their toll. On New Year's Eve 1831, having lost his arm, his country, and all but 25 of his people, the chief agreed to an armistice. In exile on Flinders Island, this revered warrior united most of the remnant tribes and became the settlement's ‘King' – a beacon of hope in a hopeless situation. Nicholas Clements completed his PhD at the University of Tasmania in 2013. His research explores traditional Tasmanian Aboriginal culture, and the conflict between Aborigines and settlers on the Tasmanian frontier between 1803-1842. He has written two books on this subject: The Black War: Fear, Sex and Resistance in Tasmania (UQP, 2014) and, with Henry Reynolds, Tongerlongeter: First Nations Leader and Tasmanian War Hero (NewSouth, 2021).

Nicholas, today's guest, explains Australia has no war hero more impressive than Tongerlongeter. Leader of the Oyster Bay nation of south-east Tasmania in the 1820s and '30s, he and his allies led the most effective frontier resistance ever mounted on Australian soil. They killed or wounded some 354 – or 4 per cent – of the invaders of their country. Tongerlongeter's brilliant campaign inspired terror throughout the colony, forcing Governor George Arthur to launch a massive military operation in 1830 – the infamous Black Line. Tongerlongeter escaped but the cumulative losses had taken their toll. On New Year's Eve 1831, having lost his arm, his country, and all but 25 of his people, the chief agreed to an armistice. In exile on Flinders Island, this revered warrior united most of the remnant tribes and became the settlement's ‘King' – a beacon of hope in a hopeless situation.

In this first episode of the Music Tas Podcast, we hear from the Tasmanian band The Brothers of Country, a band of brothers from across Tasmania, Australia, and the World. The Brothers of Country draw from aboriginal practices and connection to country as the conduit to bring diverse cultural groups into a shared, safe and creative space. Music is central to Indigenous storytelling and lore. Music has carried knowledge and truth-telling of pain and sorrow, celebration and tradition from generation to generation.The brothers say this is how it should be.These truths have been broken for Aboriginal men and women in Tasmania and across Australia recovering from colonisation. But these people, these artists are not alone. Refugee and migrant people face similar dispossession from place and loss of culture. The result is often a story of great sorrow, trauma, and ultimately a deep feeling of being unwell, of illness. The Brothers of Country use their music as a space to tell stories and find spaces for healing and truth-telling. The earthy sounds of the Tasmanian bush Elder Songman Dougie Mansell, Singer, and drummer MwaseMakalani, a Yao and Chichewa man from Malawi, Yorta Yorta and Yuwaalaraay ( pronounced yoOolaray) man Warren Mason, Tasmanian born Yorta Yorta man First Nations Producer and musician Josh Langford, Tasmanian Aboriginal pakana (pronounce Puk-a-Na) traditional dancer Harley Mansell, Walker and keeper of Stories Sean Mansell, and Adelaide born cultural magpie Matthew Fargher.We will now hear a conversation, facilitated by Matthew Farger between these brothers, these dignified men of story. This was recorded on 26th June 2021 when the brothers gathered at the Moonah Art CentreThe brothers would like to thank the Glenorchy City Council and Moonah Arts Centre for supporting this project throughout. The Music Tasmania Podcast is supported by The Australia Council for the Arts, and Arts Tasmania.

The ‘Tasmanian Perspectives’ series of PGAP examines the lives, projects and perspectives of Post-Growth game changers who have left the mainland to start a new life in Tasmania. What made them decide to jump the Bass Strait? How is it all working out for them? Should you follow by example and make the move yourself? For the first episode, PGAP had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Tania Brookes from the Reseed Centre in Penguin. Tania Brookes is an indigenous Maori woman living on Palawa country in lutruwita, Tasmania, Australia. Currently Tania is the Administrator for the Community Exchange Network Tasmania (CENTs) and is co Administrator for the national Community Exchange System in Australia covering LETS, Community Currency and Time Banking groups around Australia. Tania is a permaculture practitioner/educator affiliated with the RESEED Centre and Live Well Tasmania in northwest Tasmania. Tania discusses with me her reasons for moving to Tasmania from suburban Melbourne and the wonderful community she is now part of in the northwest. She shares her insightsof how the welcoming Tasmanian spirit in smaller, more intimate towns creates a culture of stronger community and giving. We discuss the joys and challenges of being involved in the broader permaculture community, and where permaculture ethics intersect with indigenous values of connection and care for country. We explore the role of spirituality to reconnect with the earth and each other, and finally, Tania shares her vision for change in regards to town planning and the growth based economy more broadly. I had an absolute blast talking to Tania – her care for people, community and place are really on show throughout our discussion. I would like to thank Tania for inviting me to her home and for letting me rearrange her living room to fit all my ridiculous over the top recording equipment! When I arrived she played for me a beautiful piece of local music, ‘My Mother the Mountain’ from Claire Anne Taylor. I was taken so much by the beauty of the song and Claire’s unique expressive voice. With Claire’s permission, I play this track at the end of the interview, as I believe it perfectly encapsulates the connection to family, community and place that were core values discussed in this interview. This interview was made possible by support from Holistic Activism (https://holisticactivism.net/) and Town Planning Rebellion (https://holisticactivism.net/town-planning-rebellion-tpr/). Also a shout out to SPA (https://population.org.au/) for making PGAP possible. _PGAP wishes to acknowledge and pay respect to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people as the traditional and original owners, and continuing custodians of this land on which this episode was recorded and acknowledge Elders – past, present and emerging. _ Did you enjoy this episode and would like to explore more?

A Tasmanian Aboriginal artist who has tried to constructively engage with Dark Mofo and its parent institution MONA has decided to walk away after seven years.

When Dark Mofo put out a sickening call for the blood of First Nations people for an artwork it sparked outrage and condemnation. We talk to the Tasmanian Aboriginal artist who has tried to constructively engage with the festival and its parent institution MONA for the past seven years - and she tells us why she’s walking away. And former Queensland Police officer Ronnie Gorrie on her memoir Black and Blue.

Two Tasmanian institutions have formally apologised to the state's Aboriginal people over the mistreatment and theft of cultural artefacts. In the 1960s, workers removed slabs of ancient rock carvings from Tasmania's northwest coast and gave them to museums in Hobart and Launceston. The rock carvings will be returned to their original site early next month. Tasmanian Aboriginal people say the apology is the first step at repairing the state's understanding of its Aboriginal history, - Две тасмански институции формално им се извинија на Aбориџините во државата за лошото постапување и кражбата на културни артефакти. Во 60-тите години на минатиот век, работниците отстранија плочи со антички резби од северозападниот брег на Тасманија и им ги дадоа на музеите во Хобарт и Лoнсecтон.

This week's episode is entirely dedicated to a conversation I was honoured to have with Tasmanian Aboriginal activist Nala Mansell. Nala has worked at the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre for 16 years and currently works at the Riawanna Centre at the University of Tasmania, supporting Aboriginal students. She speaks eloquently and passionately about being Aboriginal in a country that is still governed by white nationalism and racist institutions. She speaks personally about the deeply embedded fear of the police in Aboriginal people and communities, as well as other issues such as lower life expectancy and stolen culture. Nala reminds us what real change looks like, not just saying 'sorry' but doing something about it.**Content Warning: This episode contains descriptions of racial violence and the names of Aboriginal people who have died.

As Black Lives Matter protests spread across the world and statues of historic oppressors are toppled, Australia is forced to face its own national shame. The Aboriginal population in this country are the most incarcerated people on earth and more than once a month an Aboriginal person dies in police custody or in jail.In this mini-series, we explore the flawed legal system and lethal attitudes that contribute to Aboriginal deaths in custody. We go further back to try and understand the legacy of European invasion and the frontier wars. Throughout the series we will try to centre Aboriginal voices and resources and include a number of interviews with Tasmanian Aboriginal activists.In part one we attend a vigil in Hobart and hear from Caleb Nichols-Mansell about what needs to change. We look into specific cases of Aboriginal deaths in custody and what they have to say about Australia's police and legal system.**Content Warning: This episode contains descriptions of racial violence and the names of Aboriginal people who have died.

Heather Sculthorpe joined the show this morning to chat about the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre and why the Black Lives Matter movement is so important. 

As Reconciliation Week comes to an end, well-known Tasmanian Aboriginal lawyer Michael Mansell has criticised the relevance of the event.

In this episode of What are you looking at? we talk to Reserved for Healing artist Michelle Maynard and Head of Indigenous Engagement and Strategy at MAAS, Marcus Hughes about cultural and artistic practice and the non-linear path of healing. Reserved for Healing was an exhibition at Contemporary Art Tasmania exploring intergenerational knowledge and cultural exchange in Lutruwita/Tasmania, featuring Mae Ganambarr, Jack Langford, Kaninna Langford, Ruth Langford, Josie Mason, Warren Mason and Michelle Maynard. The Reserved for Healing program focused on expanding the ambition of cultural production for Tasmanian Aboriginal artists and was developed through CAT and walantanalinany palingina (WaPa) working with support from the Australia Council’s Chosen initiative. WaPa and CAT partner on building capacity for delivering the First Nations festival, WaPa 22Ten22.

This episode is the first of our sub-series "Stories from the Inside" - an intimate look at the lives and concerns of artists and arts workers. When we went looking for stories, we were expecting easy soundbites that could be turned into one snappy episode, but what we got instead were personal, interesting interviews that deserved their own space. In this episode we speak with Tasmanian Aboriginal artist, activist and agitator, Fiona Hamilton. What are you looking at? is produced by Lisa Campbell-Smith and Pip Stafford for Contemporary Art Tasmania. Mixdown by Brendan Walls and soundtrack by Josh Santospirito.

The battle for the Franklin River runs far deeper than simply providing the backdrop for a political tug-of-war. PETER DOMBROVSKIS/ LIZ DOMBROVSKIS/AAPOn 1 July 1983, in a dramatic four-three decision, the High Court of Australia ruled to stop the damming of the Franklin River. It ended a long campaign that helped bring down two state premiers and a prime minister, as well as overseeing the rise of a new figure on the political landscape – the future founder of the Greens, Bob Brown. But the battle for the Franklin River runs far deeper than simply providing the backdrop for a political tug-of-war. In today’s episode of Essays on Air - the audio version of The Conversation’s Friday essay series - writer and historian Billy Griffiths reads his essay on how archaeology helped save the Franklin River. Its rich history and significance to the Tasmanian Aboriginal community made the proposed dam a controversy that captivated the nation. Today’s episode was recorded and edited by Sybilla Gross.

Dowling’s portrayal of Walyer, a Tasmanian Aboriginal woman resistance fighter, is a rallying cry of opposition. Dowling’s protagonist, standing like an antipodean Bodicea, is a culture warrior, overturning the myth of passive submission. George Augustus Robinson, a former missionary, and Chief Protector of the Aborigines in the Port Phillip District (Victoria) from 1839 to 1849, referred to Walyer as ‘an Amazon’. Shortly after her capture in 1830, she died on 5 June 1831 from another insidious gift from the colonists: influenza. She had fought on behalf of her people with bravery and tenacity in a war for which no memorials exist. Walyer (aka Te Nor and Tarenorerer), a Plair-Leke-Liller-Plue woman from Tasmania, was abducted in her teens by men from another tribe and traded to sealers for flour and dogs. Such transactions occurred as Tasmanian Aboriginal people’s lives were disrupted by encroaching European settlement. Sealers took Aboriginal women for labour and as sexual commodities. During her time with the sealers, Walyer learnt English and how to use firearms. She escaped in 1828 and joined the Lairmairrener group of Emu Bay. In 1830, colonial authorities reported that Walyer was leading violent attacks against settlers and other Aboriginal groups. She and her group used muskets in these assaults, which was previously unprecedented in Aboriginal attacks. Walyer represents to me the hundreds of women who fought for their land against the invading colonial forces. Walyer also represents the women of today who see that their struggle has never ceased in obtaining rights for their people over their land and lore. I painted Walyer gesturing towards a group of colonial houses in the distant right. The moon shows light from behind the clouds, outlining her cloaked body as she holds two guns. She is gesturing to the viewer as if they were one of the fighters she has assembled to battle the colonial encroachments upon their land and hers. There is a road carved into the trees under the distant mountains leading to the houses, which have smoke coming out of their chimneys, signifying their occupancy. Walyer stands in action, holding a fowler’s rifle with a small flintlock pistol held in the belt around her skirt. She wears a bookah (kangaroo cloak), a shell necklace and clay ornamentation covers her hair. This painting is about early historical interactions between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people in Australia. First contact relationships between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people in the colonies reveal much about the divide that continues to exist today and this painting is about what we can learn from such engagements. Aboriginal people use their oral histories as well as written historical records from non-Aboriginal colonial perspectives to construct racial consciousness and visions of Aboriginal self-determination. I have painted the stories of Aboriginal resistance fighters to grapple the construction of the hero in art. Romanticism was widely used in early colonial art in Australia emphasising Rousseau’s theory of the noble savage. These early power relations must be highlighted so that we can see how nationalism and imperial sentiment were constructed. As an Aboriginal person, I feel that it is important to understand colonial art practices brought here and how they can be used for decolonisation. By using the colonial romantic imagery of Aboriginal people as a tool, I can inform non-Aboriginal people of the denial of Aboriginal culture in current representations of Australian history.
