FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
VIDEO FOOTAGE SHOWS YOKAI CHAIR JIM MORRISON USED FORCE ON YOUNG STOLEN GENERATION DESCENDANT
Background info:
● In December, the church suspended BKI’s Board, issued an eviction notice, then created a new Board and signed a deal with Yokai without consulting Noongar women.
● The land is owned by the Uniting Church through the Beananging Kwuurt Institute (BKI), but it is subject to a complaint with the WA Equal Opportunity Commission, challenging the Uniting Church’s December dismissal of the BKI Board as sex, race, and political belief discrimination. This throws doubt over the current BKI Board and Yokai’s current lease to the land. The women are seeking legal advice on injunctive relief.
● Noongar women have been fighting to reclaim the Stolen Generations site which sits on Whadjuk Noongar land. Pre-colonisation, it was a sacred birthing place for Noongar women. Post-colonisation, it has a damning racist history as the former Stolen Generations site of the Sister Kate’s Children’s Cottage Home, where Aboriginal children were enslaved, abused and genocide was committed.
● We do not know who the new Board of BKI is, as the Church have not disclosed this.
