00:00The National Walk for Truth is an opportunity to bring all Australians together, to talk
00:07about truth and talk about the lived experiences of First Peoples, not only in the state of
00:14Victoria but right across the nation.
00:16Our people have always advocated for the truth to be shared as well and I think the walk
00:22is, as I said, an opportunity to bring everyone together.
00:26We'll be stopping at locations of significance to First Peoples.
00:30We won't be shying away from the hard traumas that our people have been through.
00:33We'll be stopping at sites of trauma but also the strength and resistance and the contributions
00:38that our people have made to this country, we'll be looking to highlight that.
00:42So again, we are opening that opportunity up for all Australians to come and walk with us.
00:48This is not about blaming everyday Australians but this is asking about the institutions
00:53to be accountable for the institutional harm that they have actually caused our people.
00:59And this is what we do.
00:59We walk to bring people together so they understand our lived experience and also have traditional
01:09owners be able to share those experiences.
01:12Myself as a person being able to walk 850 kilometres is a long way but my role is to open up the opportunity
01:19for our local TOs in each location to be able to share their knowledge, their wisdom and
01:25their lived experience with everyday Australians who come and join us on the walk.
