Native Title Rockets

Native Title legal instruments banded together with political circumstance and
poverty sets up a playing field for the government and corporations to
utilize land as they wish, without regard to protection of sacred sites
and fragile ecosystems. Aboriginal communities are faced with inner conflict and division in relation to offers to lease country in exchange for economic equality and services. Often the lease holders don't respect or understand the significance of Aboriginal sacred sites and
the deep link to the well being of the Aboriginal people connected to that land or 'country' (country is a term used by Aboriginal nations to describe the land they belong too). The history of violence and oppression by the government and corporations is continued, by
destroying sacred sites and dispossessing people from country. Deploying electronic warfare satellites from Kokatha country for purposes of war extends this violence and oppression to other war-torn oppressed populations.
