Before the colonists came, we managed the land with careful use of cool burns. To stop giant bushfires, we have to learn again how to care for country.

We are from the Githabul and Ngarakbul peoples of the Yoocum Yoocum Moeity. We believe bringing back cultural burning is an important step towards creating a more just and sustainable future. For 60,000 years, many First Nations peoples managed the land that sustained us.
