Tribal Fires - Dumbartung
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.

The Maxim "May Our Campfires Burn Forever"
This story of Tribal Fires center's on the Dumbartungs maxim, "May our Campfires Burn Forever". Its origin, purpose, and how NAIDOC eclipsed and whitewashed its true meaning and, without any form of consultation, used it in their 2024 slogan "Keep the Fire Burning."
This episode also gives evidence of other forms of cultural exploitation and is an ongoing tribute to the young people in our community, who will carry our stories into future generations.
