Last night, I talked about going back to my homelands for the first time in 3 years. Now, I want to talk a little bit about living in Naarm 30 years. I admit, I love living in a city of 5M, even if I need my homelands to ground myself. This one is gonna be a thread, so here goes
I have some incredible trail blazers and freedom fighters which have come from my own family, and include my own nanna, Uncle Charlie, my Tjamu Randall, my dad and his "go home Bjelke-Petersen. We don't need more peanut politicians in the Territory", and many more 2/?
That said, I have always felt incredibly privileged to live amongst Vic mobs who are staunch AF and get out there on the streets. Whether it's the WAR mob organising solidarity protests against the forced closure of WA communities or for shutting down Don Dale 3/?

At the moment, I feel like I am playing catch-up. I am an avid news reader yet whilst I was away, I cut myself off from the daily updates to give myself a break and focus on healing on country. But gee, didn't a lot of shit hit the fan in that time? TBC.
I want to begin by giving a shout out to all asylum seekers locked up in the Park Hotel Prison, MITA & other such detention centres. Australia's asylum seeker policies are a disgusting blight on human rights and contravene our UN commitments. Hope you're released soon ✊🏾
I also want to give a shout out to the thousands upon thousands of people with COVID right now (including my sister who was released from hospital this week), as well as the health care workers on the front lines slogging their guts out. My thoughts are with you all.

I think I want to start this by talking personal. As I mentioned in my intro, I just got back from my homelands. It was the first time in three years I have been up there and that's been tough because prior to COVID, I'd go every 6-12 months. It was a healing trip yet hard. TBC
I say "hard" because whilst I was up there, COVID started exploding in the NT and so given so many of my relos are elderly with health conditions, I didn't get to visit them for fear I might spread it. So I just want to shout out to NT mobs: stay safe, get vaxxed & #protectnan
I did, however, get to go on country a fair bit (apart from Mparntwe) and visit some really important sites to my ancestors. I want to share a photo of one such place. This is part of the Junction Waterhole

Hi folks! So yep, Celeste Liddle here taking over the reins on IndigenousX for the next week. Before I start anything though, can we just get a hand for the previous host @JennettaQB for her wonderful work? Brilliant stuff 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
A bit about me then is probably warranted. I'm an Arrernte woman & I returned from my first visit back to country in three years (after many lockdown postponements) just yesterday. Hence the profile pic at Simpson's Gap and the hat because it was 41 degrees. I've missed it a lot
I live on Wurundjeri Country here in the northern suburbs of Melbourne but was born on Ngunnawal Country and lived there until I was nearly 14 like a number of kids of Arrernte public servants who worked in the capital in the 70s & 80s. I've lived in my current area for 22 years

They reckon that what we know today as racism begins in the 1400s when European sentiments of anti-blackness first start to develop and colonisation gets a papal sanction.
So, by the time Australia is invaded in the late 1700s, racism has had some 300+ years of developing and refining all the necessary moral, legal and religious methods and justifications for dispossession, mass murder, control and regulation, assimilation, segregation etc
By the time federation is ready to kick off in 1901 we’re at peak scientific racism fuelled, eugenics ridden, racial purity blood quotient obsessed, institutionalised racism across the ‘western’ world. This is the European status quo in which so-called Australia is founded.
