Abstract

This chapter is an amplification of Wiradjuri voices and our contributions to the struggle of Indigenous movement-building since the 1938 Day of Mourning protest to the present, and focuses on 26 January and ‘Australia Day' celebrations. It acknowledges our struggle and resistance began long before 1938. As a Wiradjuri warrior engaged in the resistance, this piece of writing includes my own voice as an agitator and organiser against settler domination. It also focuses on what makes and activates warrior ways of knowing-being-doing when dealing with the construction of the settler state and the way in which settlers commemorate their erasure of Indigenous people.
