Elder Roy Hunter Wiggan - Canberra has forgotten us, everyone has forgotten us.
Elder Roy Hunter Wiggan - Canberra has forgotten us, everyone has forgotten us. |
Description: |
“Canberra has forgotten us, everyone has forgotten us. I worry everyday about this community. I walk into town and speak to the lawyers, to the Government, to the Land Council, but no-one does anything.” “...I will not leave the community. I will die here, and I will do this for the sake of this community.”
“...what they should do is rebuild the community, build good quality houses and provide the services that we too have a right to. This is our land, our community,” said Elder Roy Hunter Wiggan 88-year-old, resting in his room in his family home in Kennedy Hill. Broome, Western Australia. ©Ingetje Tadros/Diimex |
