ANTaR SA (Australians for Native Title and Reconciliation, South
Australia Inc)
Please keep an eye out for the 45th Candle Light Walk to be held around
Government House Adelaide in December 2003, which will mark the 80th
Anniversary of a remarkable Ngarrindjeri petition to the Governor in
December 1923. This petition was a heartfelt plea from the Ngarrindjeri
mothers from Point McLeay for their stolen children.
This was not the first time the Ngarrindjeri had drafted and presented a
grievance petition to the Crown authorities. The first was in 1867 when
the Ngarrindjeri gave the Prince of Wales a memorial which they asked be
presented to Queen Victoria and which is now in the possession of the
English Crown.
The forthcoming eightieth (80th) anniversary of the unfulfilled
Ngarrindjeri parents' call for recognition and respect for family values
needs to be acknowledged as the enlightened and understandable quest for
equal rights protection from South Australia that it is.
The people of South Australia have a unique opportunity through the
Governor of South Australia, Her Excellency Marjorie Jackson, to now
establish a permanent partnership with the Ngarrindjeri people by
re-enacting this 1923 petition presentation this December. To ensure
your participation or attendance at the forthcoming re-enactment please
