Hello friends! Once again I was a guest with Lisa Skye on BentTV, this time talking about radical kindness and the metal load. If you missed it on C31, you can watch it via the youtube clip below:
Erin Kyan would like to acknowledge that he lives on the stolen land of the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation.
He pays respects to Elders past and present, and extends that respect to all Indigenous people.
Colonisation and genocide are ongoing to this day, and Erin acknowledges the strength and resiliance of First Nations peoples.
Sovereignty was never ceded. So-called Australia always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
Pay The Rent.
