A Cultural crime against Kyana
During the last 2 decades Dumbartung has been approached by the state Lotterywest commission to offer their support to fund a Cultural truth telling centre.
During these meetings Dumbartung has been encouraged to believe that the funding was an obligation of trust by the Western Australian government. After being awarded a significant assessment award funded by Dept. of Prime Minister and Cabinet.
It was understood that the new gallery would be funded.
However recent discussions broke down after a 2 year process and a determination by Lotterywest that the funding requested by Dumbartung via the quantum surveyor exceeded their expectation and rejected the proposal.

Vengeance
This story titled ‘Vengeance’ looks back over 3 important decades of change and advancement for Aboriginal people. The 1970s, 80s and 90s reflects a time when self-determination and funding resources were extremely restrictive and Aboriginal people faced harsh government laws and policies. These policies kept Aboriginal people oppressed and excluded them from mainstream advancement. The story also reflects todays circumstances where Aboriginal people have benefited from recent inclusive opportunities. These mainstream policies have created an assimilated population that no longer resists the will to struggle for their rightful traditional ownership.
