Thank you to our wonderful speakers who all spoke of care for country and all people joining together:

Paul Craig is a proud GuriNgai guri (man) who grew up on the Central Coast of NSW and has always been active in his community. Paul is a leader among the GuriNgai mob on the Central Coast and is passionate about truth telling, community, and ensuring GuriNgai are recognised as the Traditional Owners of the Central Coast along with Awabakal and Darkinoong.

Aunty Colleen Fuller is an Indigenous woman of the Darkinoong and Yuin Tribes who comes from a line of Stolen Generations. Aunty Colleen has strived to bring about change for all, including ‘locking on’ in the Pilliga, camping on the roadside on the Central Coast for over 2 months to successfully save Bambarra, part of Kariong Sacred Lands, standing up against large mining companies in Calga NSW, fighting to protect natural habitat and wildlife from unsustainable and destructive development in Kariong and Wadalba NSW.

Renee Sales is a respected leader among her Darkinoong mob and is passionate about bringing community together and stopping the on going division on the Central Coast. Renee advocates for preserving the remaining bushland and the traditional history of our beloved Coast. She advocates for Truth, a Voice and Reconciliation so we can heal the past grievances between our histories.

Riki Jon Powell- BandarrawaganaAwalan (Tribal Name) is a direct descendent of the Wailwan people of the Castlereigh River, Gulargambone NSW.

Grandmother Mulara (online) is an Aboriginal Senior Lore Woman who also holds a Juris Doctor in Colonial Law. She walks two cultures and with two laws to bring through the New Dreaming, Wirritjin, prophesied by our old people a long time ago, a time when our traditional lore is returned in a new way, a time when ‘black and white’ (‘red’ and ‘yellow’, all of us) will walk together, and when everyone takes responsibility for themselves. That time is now.
