Wandarri

Wandarri is the landmass (The Land) that non-indigenous people refer to as “Australia” (Commonwealth of Australia).

The word “Wandarri” /wan-dar-ree/ was first used in 2018 in a few self-published publications. It is a united Aboriginal (Indigenous) word that all the Aboriginal Tribes of Wandarri can use to identify their Land location on an international level.

#wandarri

The name ‘Wandarri’ reiterates that “Australia” is only an ideology that has been placed over The Land, that does not represent The Land nor the Indigenous people.

 

Furthermore, whilst Wandarri is not divided, Aboriginal People can better identify their regions and tribal areas on a national level via ten (10) subtitles:

Wandarri Central (1)
Wandarri South (2)
Wandarri South-East (3)
Wandarri South South-East (4)
Wandarri East (5)
Wandarri North-East (6)
Wandarri North (7)
Wandarri North-West (8)
Wandarri West (9)
Wandarri South-West (10)

Wandarri

These subtitles are not definitive dividers such as Australian State and Territory lines, but rather a general means to identify Aboriginal Homelands. These "lines" are subject to such Homelands and their relevant localised Aboriginal Language identifiers.

Important Note:

Using the word "Wandarri" is simply an alternative to the word "Australia", with no obligation from any Aboriginal person to use or accept. 

Blak is word that identifies the original peoples of Wandarri (Australia) many people refer to as “Indigenous” and/or "Aboriginal".

The word “Blak” /black/, in relation to "Indigenous Australians" was used as early as 2011 in publications and online promotions. It is a united Aboriginal (Indigenous) word that all the Aboriginal Tribes of Wandarri can use to identify their Race on an international level.

The word “Blak” differs from the word "Black" in that it specifically refers to identity rather than colour; further to this, it reiterates that Blak People are an identity beyond colour, as to be of various skin tones, but still one People.

Traditional Owners (TO)

Used to identify Aboriginal People regarding Native Title.

Aboriginal People need to be very careful with using this Term that has been ascribed to us, as it differs from 'Owner' in denoting past ownership, not current ownership. 

Aboriginal Decent

Used to identify Aboriginal People regarding present-day Government Records.

Aboriginal People need to be very careful with using this Term that has been ascribed to us, as it differs from 'Aboriginal' in denoting past Aboriginality of Ancestors, not current Aboriginality of present-day People.

Important Note:

The Australian Government is attempting to stop Aboriginal People from having words, rules, and modern Culture that allows them to identify and the Land and People in their own Right and Means. It is very important that Aboriginal People continue to not submit to Systemic Racism and Discrimination that has the intention to them subordinate. 

Systemic Racism:

Systemic Racism begins with the Australian Government Acts. The Australian Government has places 'choke points' in the Acts to stop Aboriginal People from being successful in identifying as a People in their own Right. 

Personal Racism within the System:

This is when individuals working within Government agencies work against Aboriginal People due to their own personal prejudices. They conduct this behaviour either apart from the relevant Act or at the Acts allowance, but often attempt to manipulate the Act to fit their prejudice.

Agencies such as IP Australia are a primary example of such Systematic Racism and how is is built into their relevant Act, but are further rife with prejudice personnel (Alex, Benjamin, David) willing to come together to stop Aboriginal People from moving out from under Government suppression.

Constitutional Recognition

The Blak People of Wandarri should not be 'begging' for Constitutional Recognition under Australian Authority, but rather should build their own Constitution and System of Government equal to the Australian System, that both Systems work side-by-side.  

"Welcome to Country"

Aboriginal People need to be very careful with using this Term and Practice, as Aboriginal People have never been "Welcome" on their own Country since Invasion Day. Aboriginal People are 'Welcoming' many people to the Country who do not welcome Aboriginal People to their own Country. 

 

"Acknowledgement of Country" is more appropriate, which all people should practice.

All Australians should perform an 'Acknowledgement of Country' for the Aboriginal Tribe of the relevant region. 

Aboriginal People, when on Land not their own should perform an 'Acknowledgement of Country' for the Aboriginal Tribe of the relevant region.
