<div dir="auto">Joseph Mathews worked with the Aboriginal elders from Australia at the Singapore ITI in 1969 to create this song. These elders were a powerful mostly silent presence throughout the first two weeks of the ITI. </div>

<div dir="auto">Work on the song with these elders was a very significant event at the ITI in which a new story for Aboriginal people in Australia for the future was being articulated. Joseph was so delighted working with the elders edit after edit to get
the story just right. </div>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">This song (copied below) has been running through my mind for several days. The catchy tune makes it a kind of earwig. I’m wondering if anybody knows the backstory on the words, the tune, and most importantly, the context in which it
