Halo vrienden,
Today marks the 12th Anniversary of the Intervention.
The chorus from a song by Wendy Baarda:
Why are they doing this to us?
I can still hear the gentle voice of my friend Nungarrayi,
Saying, Why, why, why?
Why are they doing this to us,
What have we ever done to them?
Why can’t they just leave us alone?
We don’t need no intervention.
Linpa-juku karna purda-nyanyi Nungarrayi,
Nyiyaku, nyiyaku, nyiya-ku-wiyi?
Nyarrpa-mani kalu ngalpa?
Nyarrpa-manu-wiyirlpa jana?
Kulal-palu ngalpa yampiyarla,
Yapa ngalipa wiyarrpa.
Lest we forget:
Kutcha Edwards- Is this what we Deserve?:
What more can I say?
Totsiens
Frank
