Short filmTranscript
00:15Hello.
00:17Wittiana Marika is both a rock star and one of Australia's most respected Indigenous leaders.
00:24He's from Yakala in the Northern Territory, famous for its incredible art as well as its major role in Australia's
00:32land rights history.
00:34Wittiana was a founding member of the legendary band Yothu Yindi and living a rock and roll lifestyle.
00:41But when his community called, he stepped up.
00:55Wittiana's always been a natural performer. It's in his blood, it's in his DNA.
01:03Your eyes are drawn to him.
01:11When I first met Wittiana Marika, he was young and handsome and all the women were chasing him.
01:16And I thought, wow, how's this guy going to settle down at home and really get serious around traditional law
01:22and all that?
01:26Wittiana transformed from, you know, the dreadlocked superstar rock star into a leader of his people.
01:38He looked at himself that he's ready to do this.
01:43He can do anything. That's the kind of leadership that he carries now.
01:51He's an archbishop. He's a high court judge. He's a professor. He's a counsellor. He's like a Lord Mayor. And
02:00he also happens to be a rock star.
02:06Good evening, everyone. How are we doing? Good.
02:10Good evening, Man Mama.
02:13Wittiana means morning star. So, the night that Wittiana was born, his father's brother had a dream.
02:20And the dream was this young boy coming towards Wittiana's father with a little white flower, which was a star.
02:29You think about that. The star was born that night, Wittiana Marika.
02:34that's the star that i am so i want to be a star film star rock star and the star
02:43of my birth
02:44i mean for coming a real star
03:04whitiana grew up in the community of yukala in northeast arnhem land it's an incredibly remote
03:10part of australia on the eastern edge of the northern territory yukala is the home of the
03:17yungul people there are 13 clan groups whitiana was born into the ridichingu clan
03:311961 that was the year that i was born here in little color
03:40the beginning of becoming a song man mom told us that dad used to sing into that valley
03:49maybe two or three months pregnant the special message that you are going to listen this song
03:59when you will be born you'll be already prepared they'll be in your system
04:10this is the place that i spent a lot of time when i was a boy
04:15a paradise away from distraction and only you and the nature and the spirit of the land
04:26we didn't learn the songs from dad by sitting next to and clapping with his clapsticks and just
04:33following the lyrics and the words you know when the old man say hang on you're you're really good
04:42you're going to be a song man don't be shy put your voice out there
04:49we have to keep those song lines it's a literature on its own
04:59so it has to be kept alive and maintained by songmen like him
05:07the beach at gove was just like any other beach along the coast but inland the soil was different
05:13it was bright red it proved to be bauxite aluminium oxide and the white man came to go
05:23overshadowing all of whitiana's childhood was the struggle against a huge mine which was threatened to
05:29be built on the gove peninsula effectively destroying the lifestyle that was so beautiful
05:37in this pristine gorgeous place
05:43one of the people who became an incredibly important spokesperson
05:47for the opposition to the mine was widiana's father roy marika mbe leader of the yirukala and a leader
05:57of australia's aboriginals the man who was in the very center of that hot political issue land rights
06:03for aboriginals we like people to come if the people and aborigines can make agreement each other
06:13so he was a role model for me he expected that i would one day be a leader watching that
06:22and i think
06:23to myself i'm going to be like him to stand strong and fight for my people the people of yirukala
06:35have
06:35protested to the federal government about the project
06:40so the elders came together to create a bark petition to send to canberra to tell the politicians
06:48that they wanted to have a voice in determining what was going to happen on their land but the yirukal
06:55people's views were ignored in 1971 the first inhabitants fought back in a court case
07:01the elders continued to prosecute the case that this was their land but instead of prosecuting it
07:07through the parliament they prosecuted it through the courts in the end justice blackburn found that
07:14the yirukal people had no native title claim over their land in british law and the mine went ahead
07:28it was a terrible moment
07:33broken my father's heart my grandfather and all the clan it was just devastating you know
07:51this is the first place that miners came in and destroyed the site first the sacred point where rituals
08:02start here
08:11this is the place where my ancestors stood
08:16and my next generation where they were gonna stand here tall and talk tall and proud and strong
08:29when wittiana was a teenager his dad sent him down south to melbourne to be a part of a dance
08:36troupe
08:36to basically teach his culture his language and his dancing to school groups across victoria
08:45and he saw it as an opportunity to learn the ways of the western world
08:52he spoke 13 clan languages but he hardly even spoke english at that point so i thought myself i'm gonna
09:02learn english i'm gonna talk like a white man for the good of myself and for the people of yirukala
09:21who would rise to become principal
09:27he was also an up-and-coming musician who wanted to go places
09:34mandewa pretty early on clued onto the fact that wittiana was very talented
09:38and they might be able to grow something together
09:45yeah mandewa saw me dancing and he chose me he's the one who chose me
09:51and he told me i'm gonna form a band oh yeah you know we want to change this world
09:58instead of singing in english we can blend english and you
10:08live in the main street one of a crazy idea
10:18they started writing songs and singing and we'd sit around and just listen to them sing
10:24reflections in the water i see
10:28they thought they were a little small band until somebody heard it and said why don't we record
10:44this
10:52wittiana was a really important part of the image of of the band so he's a very good looking man
10:59powerful uh stage presence powerful voice
11:09i was the guy who made all the early yothy uni videos
11:16we used to call him the black elvis he's got all of the the tribal moves but he's got this
11:21swagger he's
11:22got this elvis thing going on that he just mixes in at the right time and brings it right up
11:28front and
11:29the audience just love it
11:41and they started writing a little song treaty
11:47it's a great song when it came out you know everyone played the same song over and over and over
11:57when yothy indie put out treaty everything suddenly exploded they went from being a backyard band in ukala
12:05to being a household name across australia
12:15their song started to race up the charts not just in australia but in other countries too
12:21okay this is yothu yindi dc check this out you're going to enjoy this
12:29preedy was the first time that a song essentially about young all rights aboriginal rights was in the
12:35mainstream
12:38my life just changed and it was becoming a famous yulungo rock star
12:47and that puts us up there the top of the world
12:57rock and rolls you know there's alcohol there's drugs there's just day in day out you travel you
13:03perform and it took its toll it took its toll on widiyan it took its toll on munda
13:10i was drinking too much sometimes it was bad to my body it was just ruining my
13:20talent
13:22i was feeling sad while i was doing that my father was um very very ill
13:31and i could i could feel his energy that he was calling me home come back my son come back
13:41i was in the car
13:46wittiana was driving his car out towards the remote community of ram and ginning and wittiana's young
13:52son was in the car there was alcohol
13:56so we came into a couple way up bending sharp corner full speed we was going around the corner and
14:08then bang
14:10we just hit the side of the road and then flipped the car flipped one two three four five
14:23rolls he struck me here
14:27it was pretty bad you know we thought we we were going to lose them both
14:36and it was the biggest wake-up call of his life because he realized he wasn't going to
14:41live if he kept it up and he was hurting other people and that's when he said no more drinking
14:49i'm going to be an elder
14:54it was time to come back home and be a leader to step into my father's footstep
15:02dad said come home come back to the land come back to the songs come back to the culture and
15:10that's
15:10what he did
15:12he decided to leave the band he came home to work with his father who was then
15:18yeah getting on in age and he wasn't sure how long he was going to be around to get from
15:23him as
15:24much as possible learn from him as much as possible before his father died
15:31one of the founding fathers of the land rights movement has died at the age of 67.
15:38my father passed away in 1993.
15:42three his father's voice still rings in his ears that he wants him to carry on his role and to
15:52be a
15:52person that brings people together your brings reconciliation um brings harmony a real leader
16:04to be a part of his family and to be a part of his family and to be a part
16:13of his family
16:15today is a happy sad day it's a memorial for my twin brother a time to reflect about his life
16:27and
16:27journey
16:30widiyana was called upon basically for everything around his community welcoming ceremonies and every
16:37funeral welcome welcome welcome people that came in today from my brother's memorial
16:49he's the person who's comforting the woman who's lost her child
16:54he's there in the middle of the night when someone has been run over widiyana will appear with his
16:59clapsticks he's like a spiritual ambulance if you like
17:12every now and then tensions within the community erupt
17:17everyone's shouting at each other and there's sort of violence going on you'll see widiyana you just
17:22start with the clapsticks
17:26and he walks straight through the middle of these scenes as he's got a force field around him
17:33and slowly things subdue and widiyana will just walk up
17:37take them by the hand remove the weapon put his arm around him and walk him off
17:43he's leading the whole show in the community
17:47willyana is really a peacemaker
17:58being a strong man is hard
18:02it takes time it takes wisdom it takes the knowledge
18:12these ceremony leaders are really from a cultural perspective the top of the pile in the community
18:17they're the most important people
18:22it's not a job that pays a regular wage of course but without that your son won't get initiated
18:29without that you can't bury a family member that's deceased
18:36i would you know his role as a ceremonial leader is well respected amongst all the clans
18:44his portfolio amongst the clan that he leads would be the spiritual health of the land and its people
18:52the world would be the spiritual health of the world would be the spiritual health of the world
18:58would you know appears to be walking in both worlds very effectively these days
19:03so he's managing to maintain his important ceremonial role
19:08whilst going off and performing in a band whilst going off and and being a star in a film
19:14and action
19:17i was making a film called high ground which he was helping me produce
19:21and i thought he could play an important part in that film
19:28it's a story that tracks a period in our history of the frontier wars and the massacres
19:34and how the the the families stood up in the face of adversity and fought
19:47there's an old man in the film who's the the elder the leader and widiyana stood up
19:54and it was kind of like he was born to do it
19:57your uncle has broken the law
20:00he wants to know what law you're talking about what
20:08it was my first acting role and i haven't been to a school or whatever you know nah it's just
20:17natural just right there bang by the power and knowledge and spirituality
20:26that's what i put up with this is my law it come from the soil from mother earth
20:33you come from across the sea i understand balance but in this country my country
20:41so so high ground in a sense is about the resistance and the resistance goes on to this day
20:49prominent gumarch leader gullaroy unipingu says he plans to lodge a native title compensation claim
20:55over bookside mining land in gove within months over 50 years after all of the hubbub around the
21:05establishment of the mine the bark petitions we're back in the courts with a huge case claiming that
21:14the yongu people were dispossessed without just terms the case will hear arguments about whether yongu
21:23people have a right to compensation the court claim wound through the courts for some years
21:29and then it finally made its way to the highest court in the land
21:34and the opening of that high court session is incredible a whole group of yongu people men and
21:44women from different clans come to the opening of that court session and wiliana sat there with his
21:51brothers every day during the high court case and he'd leave them in every morning with his billboard and so
21:57on
22:04traditional owners in the northern territory have had a significant win
22:08in the high court in a landmark case over native title rights
22:14the high court decided that the land hadn't been acquired on just terms
22:19and compensation was owed it could be a huge amount of money um the original claim was for over half
22:25a billion dollars but it's back to the federal court now to determine that
22:31my father he would have been happiest man alive yeah what he would have been here today for winning the
22:41case
22:45while wittiana was trying to navigate this incredibly difficult court process at the same time he was
22:53struggling with his health
22:57i was in pain and i had a blood test i realized that i had a problem with my heart
23:06my heart your your bowel is not pumping properly it was serious it was serious i could die any time
23:14you know he was almost skeletal like he'd driven himself way past any medical barrier he was running
23:22on not even fumes and just doing his ceremonial obligations until he collapsed as i recall and
23:30um yeah it wasn't looking good and then one day he came to me and will and said oh they
23:38want me to go to
23:39adelaide and have this really big open heart surgery and he said i don't want to
23:49i was afraid i was dying everyone told me that you must go you must go we want your life
23:58just go
24:00they will help you that those heart surgeons because we need you we need you this community needs you
24:09and he hugged us and said we're going i'm going today we are now standing on sacred ground
24:29my circuit to fix my heart it's thunder hard now
24:35yeah i can dance and i can sing out and run
24:48it changed him when he came back he was like full of energy that he said now i'm going to
24:56step out
24:57there into the community and step out and and just take care of this community good morning everyone
25:06my families my board
25:10widiyana's role is becoming increasingly important in the sense that people are growing old people
25:18passing away and widiyana is stepping up only umara and milma power one would hope that he'll get to
25:27the point where he is taking over his father's position as the leader of the redichingle clan
25:40so over the next few years there's some fairly complex issues we need to get through he's got
25:45a massive important role to play and i think because of widiyana's ability to work in two worlds he's
25:51actually going to be a major part of how we do move forward
25:57Rio Tinto have said to us that they're going to close the mine in 2029 but at that point in
26:04time
26:05the royalties stop the town will lose its main current employer
26:11when the compensation's finally paid out there could be rivalries there could be some contention
26:17about where that money is going to go and if it's being distributed to the right people in the right
26:23clan groups
26:26i would like to bring the class together i want to bring them back as being one people and being
26:33unity there's a better way to live in harmony instead of fighting fighting fighting because i
26:42wanted to be a leader and a good leader you know
26:53so 2025 you'll think indies back mandelwood passed away in 2013 and so we're now working on what we're
27:02calling a multi-generational band and i'm 64 but i'm still and flying across the stage we didn't do
27:10any shows for quite some time uh they then finally um reformed the band and uh and widiyana was a
27:17big
27:45part of of doing that
27:47of widiyana today to be continuing that legacy
27:56widiyana gets up there and kind of leads the show now he's the front man in that way because
28:01everyone knows that he's the original
28:03got two uh grandkids this is girl
28:27and a boy two twins look it's absolutely amazing that widiyana marika is still alive today with the
28:35things that he's had against him
28:40he was never meant to
28:44die or disappear he was he's meant to be here and to love you to color and it is people
28:54it's a crazy wild ride from this incredible dreadlocked rock star into incredibly important cultural
29:04leader that was always in him that is what his father wanted him to be and i think his dad
29:12would
29:12be really proud fish coming out we're the oldest culture on earth today
29:22couple
29:24you know always was and always will be we are here we are here and we will be here forever
