Media Release 27th January, 2006

Aboriginal Tent Embassy, Canberra

Aboriginal Sovereignty Day Declared; Tribal Law Council Established


Representatives of Aboriginal Sovereign Nations agreed, by consensus, that the 26th of January would be known as Aboriginal Sovereignty Day. The gathering from across the land at the Aboriginal Tent Embassy this year was in response to the continual Government threat to control the Tent Embassy site; the last united; free voice of Aboriginal People.

The Peoples identified the 34 year-old Tent Embassy in Canberra as a significant place of social, spiritual and political importance to Aboriginal Peoples, and a symbol of the assertion of Aboriginal Sovereignty.

The Tent Embassy calls on all Aboriginal Sovereign Nations to stand up against the illegal occupation of our country and continue to resist the oppression of our people. Until there is true justice for our people, these issues will not go away and we will continue to resist.

This year the Tent Embassy will be taking the Sacred Fire to the 'Stolenwealth' Games in Melbourne in March. The fire will contain the message of peace, healing and justice, and create a focal point for unfinished business.

On the 23rd of August 2006, the Tent Embassy, in remembrance of the Gurindji walk-off, will gather to celebrate the 40th Anniversary. We call on all Aboriginal Nations to send representatives to the Embassy to commemorate and review the issues of Land Rights in Australia.

The Tent Embassy also announces the establishment of the National Tribal Law Council; who now calls upon collaborators to stop falsely representing the integrity of the Aboriginal Peoples. The Tent Embassy calls on the National Tribal Law Council to enforce Tribal Law with these people.

Finally, the Tent Embassy reiterates the call on the Australian Government to desist the illegal occupation of Aboriginal lands, the oppression of Aboriginal Peoples, and to stop denying the true history of this country.
