The Connecting Communities gathering on Walbunja and Brindja-Yuin Country, Moruya on Saturday 23rd March, bought hundreds of people together for a day of solidarity, unity and acknowledgment of the shared struggles of First Peoples locally and around the globe.A Unity Walk of song and dance, led by Walbunja Songman Jordan Nye, of the Muladha Gamara cultural performers, saw hundreds of people make a Snake Dance across the Moruya Bridge.Eliza Cannon: Co-creator for the day said that the event arose in response to the challenge of holding our grief and hope for peace in Palestine while living on unceded Aboriginal lands in a society attempting to come to terms with our own First People’s struggle and survival through colonisation.Jordan Nye said “These challenges require us to unite with our sisters and brothers here and across the globe. The universal languages of art, music and food bring allies together to share space, to learn and to unlearn, and to work together for peace. We can come together to share our grief and helplessness about the war on Palestinian people, but also to celebrate the survival and strength of Australian and Aotearoan First Peoples.”Music: Muladha Gamara Ripple Effect Band Earth Matters #1461 was produced by Bec Horridge on Walbunja and Brindja-Yuin Country, Moruya, NSW.
