NAIITS Symposium Australia: Dreaming Our World Home: The Roots and Role of Visions in Creating Indigenous Futures / an Indigenous Future

"Dreaming Our World Home: The Roots and Role of Visions in Creating Indigenous Futures / an Indigenous Future"

Across the globe, Indigenous Peoples are coming back. In the process, we’re dreaming the world home.
That’s not to say that we ever left. Though buffeted, muted, and hidden in plain sight, we’ve never gone away.
Too often stories told about Indigenous Peoples prioritise tragedy. Yes, colonisation has taken a large and enduring toll on our communities. But despite the suffering, our peoples’ dreams have always been of beauty and hope.
Aboriginal singer Uncle Archie Roach (Gunditjmara (Kirrae Whurrong/Djab Wurrung and Bundjalung Elder) captured this in 1990, with his song “They Took the Children Away”

One sweet day, all the children came back…
Back where their hearts grow strong, back where they all belong

We’re coming back and our hearts are growing stronger. We’re reclaiming identity, revitalizing ceremonies and language, immersing ourselves in culture, and asserting rights.
And we’re still dreaming.

Join us as we gather as a community in September on Naarm. All Indigenous and non-Indigenous are welcome!
We will hear from amazing speakers and celebrate NAIITS COLLEGE Australia's recent graduate students.

Tickets are limited.
