Ep 10 Mni Wiconi, Help the Jarvis Bay Community

Bands of Turtle Island

SHOW NOTES

In this episode Zitkato does a one on one interview with Keiran, a comrade and cousin of the Yuin nation occupied by Australia, where they discuss the PFAS contamination in Jarvis Bay and some questions regarding mainstream issues affecting Australian Indigenous people like prison reform, Uluru, and a few other subjects. We tried to make sure we didnt speak for any nation not present, and instead tried to share information about both countries Inigenous People’s struggle. We called this episode Mni Wiconi, which means water is alive, to express the solidarity between the Standing Rock and other Water Protector struggles and the Yuin Nation and Jarvis Bay
