Chris Tomlinson joins The Big Brekky to talk about a Healing & Truth Telling Circle, happening on the Uniting Church lawns from 5pm on February 19th, 20th and 21st. The Circle aims to give a safe space, with no police presence, for First Nations youth to tell their truths, for communities to voice their issues, and to find a way to work together.
Chris flags two main issues indigenous communities are facing to be fracking and cultural genocide through youth incarceration. Judy Atkinson, a Jiman/ Bundjalung women and national leader in intergenerational and relational trauma, will assist. “It’s the truth telling that does the healing,” Chris says.
