Karina says “Remembering our intangible Cultural Heritage, the importance of our Ancestral Stories and the lessons they share. Acknowledging that Anangu Cultural ways existed well before Nuclear Bombs were used to test on our Traditional lands.”

During this webinar we’ll hear from Karina Lester, Yankunytjatjara woman Professor Simone Tur, Bedi Racule from the Pacific Conference of Churches, UK nuclear veteran descendent Alan Owen and author of “Emu Field: Britain’s Forgotten Atomic Tests in Australia” Elizabeth Tynan.

To commemorate the 70th anniversary of the first South Australian nuclear test, ICAN is also coordinating a mass civil society statement “The Black Mist and the Ban” to shed light on our history of nuclear harm and propose the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons as the best vehicle to help make amends, under its victim assistance and environmental remediation provisions. With over 100 endorsers so far, including faith, environmental, student, First Nations, humanitarian, union and peace organisations, it represents hundreds of thousands of Australians! It will be publicly released on Sunday 15 October.
