We caught up with Uncle Bob in May'09 while he was in Melbourne and took the opportunity to chat with him and ask him 3 questions:
1. Have you seen any improvements since the Australian Government's Apology (to the Stolen Generations)?
2. What do yo do to maintain your culture; and how can people become part of indigenous culture?
3. In light of the current crises we face - environmental, financial etc - how do you see us progressing into the future?
Filmed by Sheryl and Felipe of PluginTV with TheJuiceMedia. The video is split into two parts for YouTube.
About Uncle Bob:
[from the Kanyini Website: http://www.kanyini.com/subject.html]:
Bob Randall was born in 1934 at Middleton Pond on Tempe Station in the Central Desert region of the Northern Territory. He is a member of the Yankunytjatjara people and one of the listed traditional owners of Uluru. His mother, Tanguawa worked as a housemaid at Angus Downs cattle station for Bob's father, station owner, Bill Liddle. At a young age, Bob was taken away from his mother under government policy, whom he never saw again.
Bob: 'I was institutionalised because I didn't wear clothes or live in a house. In that natural way of living, there was no need for me to have anything other than what I had.'
Bob was sent to the Bungalow Telegraph Station in Alice Springs, which was the receiving home for Indigenous children from Central Australia. Bob: 'They gave me clothes to wear and put me in a house - I didn't like it.'
As a young child, Bob was moved north to the Croker Island Reservation in Arnhem Land. He remained at the reservation until he was 20, working at various jobs, including as a carpenter, stockman and crocodile hunter. While still a teenager, he married Amy, a member of the Amadjera Tribe who had also been stolen from her family.
In the mid-1960s, the family moved to Adelaide, where Bob completed a welfare residential worker's course. Bob: 'A lot of our kids were being locked up in jail at this stage and I thought I would like to help them.'
In 1970, Bob helped establish the Adelaide Community College for Aboriginal people and lectured at the college on Aboriginal cultures. He began to gain recognition for his songwriting in the early 1970s, when his song, 'My Brown Skin Baby [They Took Him Away]' caught the attention of an ABC journalist, David Roberts. This led to the ground-breaking ABC documentary of the same name, which won the Bronze Prize at the Cannes Film Festival and focused national and international attention on the issue of separation. Bob also appeared in the documentary films Buried Country (produced by Film Australia) and Secret Country by John Pilger.
His work with Aboriginal communities has taken many forms. He served as the Director of the Northern Australia Legal Aid Service and established Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander centres at the Australian National University, University of Canberra and University of Wollongong. He continues to present his cultural awareness programs at schools and other institutions and in workplaces. His life-long efforts were recognised in 1999 when he was named 'Indigenous Person of the Year' at the 1999 National Aboriginal and Islander Day of Celebration (NAIDOC) awards.
In 2004 Bob was inducted in the NT music hall of fame for having written such classic songs as Brown Skin Baby and Red Sun, Black Moon about the Coniston massacre. Bob is also the author of two books: his autobiography "Songman" and a children's book 'Tracker Tjginji" which was part of the 2004 Sydney Writer's Festival.

Before there was #OccupyWallStreet there was #OccupyWisconsin. It's 2011 and amid a flurry of political leaks and revelations, revolutions have rolled across North Africa and The Middle East. Join your host Robert Foster for long overdue analysis of these events, asking the question that's on everyone's lips -- where will revolution spark next? How will the world treat the latest courageous country to throw off the yoke of oppression? Is any cow sacred in this time of massive upheaval? Can there be any doubt that History Is Happening?

Neville Williams ('Uncle Chappie') speaks from the site of the Aboriginal Embassy on Invasion Day 2009 (January 26th a.k.a 'Australia day').
[from Wiki:] "The Tent Embassy promotes Australian Aboriginal Sovereignty. Their demands included land rights and mineral rights to Aboriginal lands, legal and political control of certain sacred sites, and compensation for land that they claim was stolen. Their demands have been consistently rebuffed by past and current governments. It has also been used as a site for protesting against other issues, such as against uranium mining at Jabiluka in the Northern Territory during the 90s. Currently Elders such as Uncle Neville Williams, from the Aboriginal Tent Embassy are working to protect traditional Wiradjuri land in Western N.S.W at Lake Cowal which is in the process of being mined for gold.
On Australia Day 1972, the Tent Embassy was established in response to the McMahon Coalition Government's refusal to recognise Aboriginal land rights and saw a new general purpose lease for Aborigines which would be conditional upon their intention and ability to make reasonable economic and social use of land and it would exclude all rights they had to mineral and forest rights. The embassy has existed intermittently since then, and continuously since 1992. Some of the people involved in its establishment include Gary Foley, Chicka Dixon, Pearl Gibbs and Paul Coe."
Part 1: Robbie Thorpe, of the Gunai people in S/E Victoria, giving a talk to Law students at Deakin University (Geelong, Australia) on 15 May 2009. **IN 5 Parts**
Visit Robbie's website: http://www.treatyrepublic.net
Subjects include:
1. The Legal questions of GENOCIDE and JURISDICTION. Do Australian courts have the jurisdiction to charge Aborigines in Australia? Under what jurisdiction? What is the real LAW of the LAND?
2. Climate change and Environmental Sustainability. Indigenous culture managed to sustain their way of life for 60,000+ years; European colonizers have almost destroyed the Australian ecosystem after barely 200 years of settlement. Is the ecocide fundamentally connected to the genocide and to European colonization and its industrial revolution?
3. Thoughts on the Native Title process, of which Robbie has recently started collaborating in preparing the Gunai/Kurnai claim for his mob. STAY TUNED to TheJuiceMedia for updates on this claim!
4. An overview of Aboriginal Activism and HISTORY key people tied to the topics of Sovereignty, Treaty, Terra Nullius the Aboriginal Embassy.
Welcome to this exclusive Rap News broadcast, helmed by the veteran anchor, and Iraq War Hero, Brian Washington. Today we seek to understand the cause of the tension which has gripped the Police States of America following the seemingly unstoppable deaths of black people at the hands of Officers of the Piece. What is the cause of these #BlackLivesMatters hastags and the protests erupting around the country? What is this ‘R-‘ word that everyone keeps bandying about…? What about that ‘history’ thing? Featuring newly installed Chief of Militarised Police, General Baxter, and a guest from the ‘Civil Rights’ movement, one Marvin Uggenrite, join indefatigable warrior for truth, Brian Washington, as he attempts to get to the bottom of this… or scrape the bottom of the barrel trying. For the first time ever Juice Rap News tunes into the Main Stream Media BS frequency for an entire episode… what could possibly go wrong?
Written & created by Giordano Nanni & Hugo Farrant in a suburban backyard home studio in Melbourne, Australia, on Wurundjeri Land.
