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.
Tribal Fires - Dumbartung
A Cultural crime against Kyana
During the last 2 decades Dumbartung has been approached by the state Lotterywest commission to offer their support to fund a Cultural truth telling centre.
During these meetings Dumbartung has been encouraged to believe that the funding was an obligation of trust by the Western Australian government. After being awarded a significant assessment award funded by Dept. of Prime Minister and Cabinet.
It was understood that the new gallery would be funded.
However recent discussions broke down after a 2 year process and a determination by Lotterywest that the funding requested by Dumbartung via the quantum surveyor exceeded their expectation and rejected the proposal.
