The first nations people have taken paper work to the Australian government to take back their land and to return to sovereignty.Show more

Hundreds of tents are set up and a small city is forming at the old parliament house as the first nations people demand the unlawful Australian government return sovereignty to them.

In 1973 4 original elders staked an umbrella in the ground to reclaim their sovereignty. They lit a fire and this fire has been burning for more than 50 years without going out. The fire has been nurtured by the original people of this land, never being left unmanned.

What started as a statement by 4 original elders has now grown into a movement with 40 different original tribal nations, with the movement and more nations joining each day.
