Heart Breaking News

[-o-] Brothers, sisters, grandmothers and grandfathers of the world unite to send prayers and support to keep the oldest living culture alive and thriving!

Hoping you are all shinning bright today as we are trying hard to here in Australia right now. And I was dreading the day I might have to call on people like yourself to help. The time is here and i have come to ask you firstly, have you been kept in the loop with Oz issues? Man, it is with the heaviest heart i call on u to loan ur support to end the secret war on the oldest surviving people, their culture and their land.

I am a proud young mother of 4 boys who has been brought up in the struggle, feeling today like I’m fighting my way out of a plastic bag. We live in a tin shed n a dinged up van in picturesque North Stradbroke Island bushland, without water, toilet, shower, with a generator on at night 4 light. We know this is important to carry on in the footprints of our ancestors, escape the assimilation push and raise our children with the space to grow.

My partner and I teach traditional dance every saturday to get our culture strong and connect back to our mother earth. The biggest problem is we still don’t know our language – 17 survive so far out of 250 languages, we don’t have a single bit of family support here now, most have passed on. TV is making our children complacent, trauma from oppression is even destroying the best of us quietly and we are only living to an average age of 60 at most.

It is pressure i feel, being among the first generation of my line to be free, all my mothers before were forcibly removed, abused daily and made slaves until they could escape. I survived Redfern, a heroin habbit, loosing my everything- my nanna’s my mumma, her brother, her sister, my culture teacher and alot of young ones taking their own lives.

Believe it or not we have the highest incarceration rates in the world, they lock us up for mainly cussing, swearing and we are too spiritual for that cold confinement treatment. So alot of us suicide or are killed by police violence. Still not 1 police officer charged no matter how much evidence, we c whitewash year afer year. Like in South Africa, hundreads of deaths in custody. Well, since i was 5, i can remember marching and crying at lack of justice alot, it’s getting worse, i feel it.

Now as we speak they/forces of police are violently moving our elders and supporters from a blockade to protect our sacred Kimberly, this world renowned beauty is about to be turned up to make way for a gas line. All through our country we have veins called songlines, our ancient passages with their special songs and energy; they carried us to where we were going and into the ages. My/our nightmare is that this ignorant government will never acknowledge us rightfully as their ancient brothers and sisters who are kind enough to share our home and who carry universal treasures for a new conciousness of balance and harmony that served us for millenia, when it really was The Lucky Country.

We are ready to reclaim this for the world and we believe we can depend on the good of man to help us call for peace to end this silent war.

We alone may acheive peace in the next 50 years here but with global awareness because of the lack of positive progress here, people power and political pressure on a global stage will up show these puppets and free the people within their strangle hold. We have alot of supporters worldwide, we love you all for thinking of us although you are thousands of miles away and need to get this message to them all urgently. We stand with all people suffering and are praying each day for your freedom too. I don’t want to let anyone just take away my mother’s tongue when some of us, against all odds are so close to learning our traditional language after a generation gap of non speakers like in Hawaii and our Indian families. We will have nothing for our children if we loose our language and let them spoil our pristine water and land. Our language is key to our wellbeing and survival as the latest research revealed shows. We already know it to be the heartbeat of the land and the law connected to all living things is also in these languages.

And secondly, would you be willing to send prayers of support to keep the oldest living culture alive and thriving, please?

The least we can do is ask individuals to think of us at the time when you pray or join with us each morning to pray for a brand new day for all doing it hardest. At 6am your time or when you open you beautiful eyes and ask to c the beauty in the day, please also ask that the people of the land be free to live in peace and harmony and c more beauty everyday where they are. I feel we need a spiritual revolution to nurture spiritual growth, conciousness and unity especially now that more can see the crippling conditions that most are not awake to, so that finally after 220 years of marshal law in this country for example, we can begin our healing and continue practicing our ancient traditions to fix this mess.

We are ready but are only 1 million and majorly disadvantaged by trauma of oppression and poverty, in a universe of billions. Please help us to hold on to the wisdom of our ancestors and the land we are now the caretakers of, together, we can turn, turn this situation around. Leave us to one day live in peace and celebrate as 1. I ask of the oppressor’s why you do this? How can we look after anything when we are wounded like this? You know with your ignorance we are to be depended on for having to look out for your children now too, because you are failing even this.

With limited money I feel like we are in a straight jacket as I watch old people being man handled by men in uniforms while they sit protesting peacefully against a 30 billion dollar project to destroy another huge part of us. If you can do more than pray, please do. Come, organise buses, food & support 4 protestors, care for our elders still protesting in winter or even an urgent letter writing campaign. Please see links below for how you can be part of this global movement to protect our roots. I invite you all on behalf of the First Australians who are concerned for our land, culture and all of our futures. We hope you see how this can be of benefit to you and your family as it is like an investment to make available a huge piece of the global puzzle.

Thank you kindly for you time. Many blessings of light love and laughter for a safe and happy journey together into our new day.

Kaiyu Bayles & Family
