Tribal Fires is a podcast that will tell the stories of the Dumbartung Aboriginal corporations' 35-year history of working in the Bibbulmun Nyoongah community in the South West of Australia. These stories will tell of the cultural initiatives, interviews, and the political struggles that has challenged the survival of the organisation by attempted Government strategies to adversely attempt to cease the truth-telling and cultural empowerment of this crucial Aboriginal organisation.

Marlo Morgan campaign the “Mutant Message Affair”
During 1995 the Dumbartung Aboriginal Corporation coordinated a world-wide campaign against an American woman ‘’New Age Author’’ named Marlo Morgan who wrote and published a book titled ‘’Mutant Message Downunder’’.
This campaign was an extensive and effective process that resulted in Dumbartung unifying the Aboriginal voice across Australia and from a well-planned strategy selected six well respected Aboriginal law people both male and female to travel to the United States of America to debunk the book as a new age fantasy of untruths and cultural absurdities.
The Elders participated in a series of media conferences and public venues enticing people that this book was a fabrication of the true Aboriginal cultural and spiritual values and lore!
The campaign ended in a massive walk in Tokyo Japan by Robert Eggington the Director of Dumbartung and Paul Sampi a well-respected law man of the Bardi people from One Arm Point.
Eventually a book was published written by Dr John Eustace from the Acadia university in Canada titled ‘’Old Battle-New Age’’ .
