"Led by Altyerre, Arrernte Elders Rosalie Kunoth-Monks, Ngarla Kunoth-Monks and Narungga Elder Tauto Sansbury, the Freedom Movement will gather once more in the heart of the continent this Friday to Sunday, 11 - 13 September.
The Freedom Movement was born out of the Freedom Summit at the Old Telegraph outside of Mparntwe (Alice Springs) last November.
Members of tribal nations, including respected leaders of First Peoples, will gather to define and agree on a Treaty.
They will craft a Treaty from the people – a salt of the earth, grass-roots document that respects the First Peoples, that is of, and by, the First Peoples of this continent. ...
