Central Coast local and custodian Tracey Howie will provide some insights into the region’s traditional custodians and the land we live on at a special event on October 8.
Following the premiere of her captivating film, An Afternoon with Tracey Howie, she will outline the heroic journeys that her ancestor Bungaree took with Matthew Flinders a few decades after the arrival of the first British ships.
A direct descendent of warrior Bungaree, Howie is the only civilian to have the map of Flinders and Bungaree’s circumnavigation of the continent.
Bungaree was born in the Broken Bay area and was a skilled mariner.
Howie will speak of bloodlines, her lineage, and Care for Country.
She will led a discussion on custodianship and Aboriginal lore.
All questions will be welcomed.
The event will be particularly relevant, with voters set to go to the polls on October 14 for the Voice referendum.
It will be held at 2pm on Sunday, October 8, in the Green Point Community Centre auditorium at 96 Koolang Rd.
Cost will be $5 per person at the door to go towards costs of room hire and film editing (correct change would be appreciated).
