All of our waterways are a crucial element in preserving life here on mother earth. My people, The Yorta Yorta tribe are known as the river people. The Rivers and waterways hold sacred stories and have a strong history with all Indigenous peoples. Water is extremely important to me as it is for all. I wanted to take the time to create a piece that reflects on the current state of the waterways of my country and how they suffer from climate change, pollution and drought. All are a product of colonisation. It's time for us to recognise this injustice placed on our waterways and bring back it's prosperity by listening to Indigenous knowledges.
