Subject: 31st Candle Light Walk - Treaty-Bill Of Rights - NO SA NUCLEAR DUMP - Friday 4/10/02 - 7.15PM - Around Government House, North Tce, Adelaide
THE CANDLE LIGHT WALK HAS AN ON-LINE FLYER AT: http://www.country-liberal-party.com/pages/adelaidemob.htm Just a reminder that the 31st Candle Light Walk for Justice & Peace is on Friday 4 October in Adelaide - starting at equinox time: walkers gather from 6.45pm for a 7.15pm start. Feel free to use the item in italics below as a template for your publicity for the Justice & Peace Candle Light Walk in support of a Treaty & Bill of Rights. JUSTICE & PEACE CANDLIGHT WALK: "Australians can show their support for a treaty with Australia's Indigenous peoples. Candles will be lit for justice and peace advocating an Indigenous treaty on Friday 4 October, and every following first Friday of the month throughout 2002. Walkers can gather with candles at Government House from 6.45.PM for a 7.15PM start. The walk aims to protect Ngarrindjeri culture, spiritual beliefs, lands and waters, to stop any nuclear waste dump on traditional lands, and from affecting the environment via a Treaty & Bill of Rights." Candle Light Walks are held in Adelaide at Genocide Corner in front of Government House on the first Friday of the month. These walks express the concern of those who wish justice for Indigenous peoples. There's an opportunity to listen to Ngarrindjeri, and other Indigenous Elders speak on issues affecting their people. The microphone remains open for anyone to offer their thoughts on current issues, to sing a song, or to share stories of struggle. Please feel free to attend, and show support for a Treaty with Indigenous people, a Bill of Rights, justice and peace, as well as opposition to any nuclear dump in South Australia. Another monthly Candle Light Walk is to begin in Sydney, and soon Candle Light Walks in other States may follow. Don't worry if it will just be a small group of you to start with.... as Vincent Lingiari said: "from little things big things grow" ! Respect Indigenous people's traditional land and waters. Light a candle and walk for justice and peace. Join the Indigenous call for a TREATY. Respect Indigenous rights. Recognise Ngarrindjeri culture and spiritual beliefs. Look after the Coorong and its wildlife. Protect this unique Australian wetland. Look after Lake Eyre. Conserve this unique cultural environment. Protect its cattle and tourist industries.

Have these gubs no shame? Don't they get it yet? How much more serious mental harm has to be caused here? When will they stop imposing conditions of life likely to destroy Ngarrindjeri, Arabunna, Kupa Piti and other Original Owners of the Land? Keep walking. Good poster too. -----Original Message----- From: Annie Pettitt To: The Bigger Picture Date: Tuesday, 7 August 2001 4:39 It's really exciting to see these community events happening.
