“We’re telling stories about our connection to the landscape, and we’re talking about our relationship to our Anscetors and our ancestral beings, we’re talking about our relationship to our Country, and to everything else that’s in the landscape, including the sky and water, they’re all part of the one thing.”
Taungurung artist Uncle Mick Harding, director of Ngarga Warendj, talks about the meaning message sticks hold. Uncle Mick crafted the message stick to be handed to Premier Jacinta Allan at the close of the Walk for Truth tomorrow, incorporating diamonds that honour Ancestors and shields representing new ideas being planted and nurtured. The design represents all of us in Victoria, creating a powerful bridge between First Peoples and all Victorians.

We can’t change the truth of our past, but by accepting and understanding it, we can walk forward together to a better shared future. For First Peoples and all Victorians. The true path forward starts here.
