Massive Murray Paddle | Dungulayin Mileka | From the River to the River |

This deadly track was created with the participants of the Dungulayin Mileka program connecting River, People and Country. This incredible program consists of 80 indigenous young people, elders and 25 Victorian Police paddling from Yarrawonga to Swan Hill, 404kms, 5 days and 1 river for the Massive Murray Paddle.

The Dungulayin Mileka Massive Murray Paddle program engages Koorie young people aged between 13 -17 years of age. The aim of the program is to develop and enhance respectful relationships between Koorie young people and the Victorian Police through positive interaction and physical challenges. IHHP artists Nellie Harris , Syd Row, Dion Brownfield, Jess Brooks, Michael Nauwi, Matty Mastratisi were so privileged to follow the week long journey and capture the story through a short documentary and through this deadly music video called 'From The River, To The River'.

This catchy song was written and recorded with the community assisted by Aman Bayatly , Dion Brownfield and Adrian Eagle.

Special shout out to the incredible Yorta Yorta dancers Narjiic Day Burns and Sissy Cooper for a powerful cultural dance for this video.

9. camping out fishing that’s my job
10. everyone pitching in to support our mob
11. Flowing with river together as one
12. Paddling the Murray under the sun
13. from Yorta Yorta to Wamba Wamba the river, the river is streaming
14. rainbow serpent our creator that’s our dreaming
15. middens and ska trees along the river side
16. subliminal messages of how our people survive
