This year marks 238 years since since invasion of the continent of so called australia by the arrival of the first fleet in 1788 and 256 years since captain Cook set foot on the shores of the continent. From that time until the present day the genocide and dispossession of the original inhabitants of this continent has been ongoing. From that time until the present, there has been resistance from the First Peoples of this continent who continue to assert their sovereignty and protect their lands and waters, and continue to resist oppression and the systems of capitalism, imperialism, domination and violence against humans and mother earth, while  asserting the true meaning of life .
