To begin the show Marisa is joined by Aunty Glenda Chalker, an Elder of the Cubbitch Barta Clan, and descendant of a survivor of the 1816 Appin massacre. As well as Peter Jones, a Campbelltown resident and community worker who helps facilitate the Annual Appin Massacre Memorial. They discuss the importance of the upcoming April 17th Appin Massacre Memorial Ceremony by the Winga Myamly Reconciliation Group in honour of the Dharawal People who perished in the massacre of 1816.
