The Land Owns Us

Bob Randall, a Yankunytjatjara elder and traditional owner of Uluru (Ayer's Rock), explains how the connectedness of every living thing to every other living thing is not just an idea but a way of living. This way includes all beings as part of a vast family and calls us to be responsible for this family and care for the land with unconditional love and responsibility.

Told my partner that my friends Dad, Bob Randall sang that song to me (over 45years ago now) couldn't believe watching the credits and his name appeared. Beautiful family, talented sons.

    Honestly, what a beautiful way to look at the world. As someone who has a tendency to feel alone, this idea of kanyini really alters my perspective of what being 'alone' even means. If we cannot appreciate the abundance of life all around us, then we really are alone. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful part of your spirituality with us.

    I was fortunate to hear Bob Randall give a lengthy interview on Radio National, probably about 15 years ago. I was so moved by the story of his childhood as a stolen child. Through all the hardship and injustice he experienced he never had any anger or resentment. He spoke of the deep connection with his human family and his nature family. He seemed to have a peaceful acquiescence , a delightful sense of humour and a heart full of love. I encourage anyone to look for that interview and have a listen. May your spirit always dwell in the land that you love.

The young may have knowledge but they do not have wisdom. We need to listen to our real Elders as a human race, to enable us to evolve and live in harmony again with the Earth, as well as each other.

    This makes me feel humble. The Aboriginal Australians descendents of the first people to leave Africa 75,000 years ago. It has been confirmed they may have the oldest oldest continuous culture on the planet. These people with their "creator" Baiame had Ten Commandments which have been translated with the Key words "Honour and Respect" apply to each of these commandments. May be the United Nations might wish to revisit the Declaration of Human Duties and Responsibilities, split it in two and have a Declaration of Human Responsibilities which is not dependent on the Laws of a Country but rather a passionate belief which the nations Leaders also believed in. Human Rights would be paramount but supported and balance by Human Responsibilities.

The message to me is we must respect other cultures and their beliefs. 4251 or so religions with most having similar "commandments".

    The prevailing sense of "ownership" based on British law established everywhere the British Empire touched and most every where else it seems pushes everyone out while the aboriginal sense of it brings everyone in. The American Henry George in the late 19TH century suggested that since the land belongs to all of us in common and because we all create its economic value that the primary and perhaps only tax to support community should be the tax on land values. That makes land common in practice

    About the same Anglo-Saxon primitivity. The land doesn't belong to all of us. It belongs to Nature (some call it god), of which we are very small part & we mostly do not understand it (being only 2 mil years on Earth, out of 13.7 bil years of the Universe). Aboriginies are more advanced in understanding Nature holistically.

    Since we are creatures too there is a lot of truth to the belief that the land owns us instead of the other way around. Because men may try to fly in the heavens however our creator who is the true owner of the land is only allowing human beings to fly in the heavens for now. However he can choose to bring human beings down to the earth in their flying any time he chooses to with fire. Regardless of how much talk they do when not flying around with words and phrases like, "The rapture".
