Murrawarri Republicball is a self-proclaimed indigenous nation located in the border region of New South Walesball and Queenslandball in Australiaball. The republic is made up of the Murrawarri people, who have inhabited the area for over 60,000 years. The Murrawarri Republic was declared on April 3, 2013, after a long history of dispossession, displacement, and oppression by the Australian government and settler colonizers.
History
The Murrawarri people have been fighting for recognition of their sovereignty and rights as an indigenous nation for many years. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, the Murrawarri people were forcibly removed from their land and placed in missions and reserves. The Australian government also implemented policies of assimilation and forced removal of indigenous children, known as the Stolen Generations. These policies had a devastating impact on the Murrawarri people and their culture.
In the 1970s and 1980s, the Murrawarri people began to organize and fight for their rights. They formed the Murrawarri Land Council in 1983 and continued to work towards recognition of their sovereignty and land rights. In 2013, the Murrawarri Republic was declared as a way to assert their sovereignty and self-determination.
The Murrawarri Republic covers an area of approximately 81,000 square kilometers, spanning from the border of New South Walesball and Queenslandball down to the town of Walgett in New South Wales. The republic is made up of 22 Murrawarri nations, each with their own language and culture. The Murrawarri people have a strong connection to their land, which they call Budjiti, and believe it is their responsibility to care for and protect it.
The Murrawarri Republic has its own government and legal system, based on traditional Murrawarri law and customs. The government is led by a president and a council of elders responsible for making decisions and representing the Murrawarri people. The republic also has its own constitution and bill of rights, which outline the rights and freedoms of the Murrawarri people.
The Murrawarri Republic has faced significant challenges since its declaration in 2013. The Australian government has refused to recognize the republic and has continued to assert its authority over the region. The Murrawarri people have also faced opposition from local farmers and other non-indigenous residents who are opposed to their sovereignty and land rights.
Despite these challenges, the Murrawarri Republic continues to fight for recognition and self-determination. The republic has gained support from other indigenous nations and human rights organizations around the world. The Murrawarri people hope that their struggle will inspire other indigenous nations to assert their sovereignty and fight for their rights.
In 2021, the Murrawarri Republic announced plans to establish a diplomatic mission in Canberraball, the capital of Australiaball, as a way to assert their sovereignty and engage with the Australian government. The mission will be the first of its kind in Australia and is a significant step forward for the Murrawarri Republic and their struggle for recognition and self-determination.
The Murrawarri Republic's struggle for recognition and self-determination is part of a broader movement of indigenous peoples worldwide fighting for their rights and sovereignty. The Murrawarri people's determination and resilience in the face of oppression and dispossession inspires all those fighting for justice and equality.
In summary, the Murrawarri Republic is a self-proclaimed indigenous nation located in the border region of New South Walesball and Queenslandball in Australia. The republic was declared in 2013 as a way for the Murrawarri people to assert their sovereignty.
