Talk 8

Robert i Corowa, from the Bundjalung Nation, with Anne.


1. Sovereignty means somebody has got ownership of the land- somebody powerful who can make your life a misery or happy. That person is the owner of the land.


There is only one true owner of the land, and that is our father in Heaven. The persons who come from the land, their blood is deep in the land. These people are known by God. It makes that sovereignty. So many generations died on the land and became the dust. What's belonging to the soil is belonging to the people.


2. Basically, it would look like a 3 tier structure:

      1. The custodian/ elders of the land. That's the first structure.

      2. The parliament of Australia.

      3. The state parliaments of Australia.
