GREATEST NEWS EVER! ❤️🔥 Yesterday Town of Cambridge Council voted unanimously in support of asking Landgate to restore Lake Monger’s Whadjuk Noongar name. They will ask for a five year transition period where the place is referred to as Galup (Lake Monger) and after that for it to just be Galup. 🔥 Council also supported everything else in the management plan including the Aboriginal ranger program, education program, yarning space, memorial, signage and artworks. Moorditj! ❤️ Huge heartfelt respect to the Elders who guided this journey; Nan Doolann (RIP), Aunty Liz, Aunty Glenda, Aunty Lois, Uncle Darryl, Uncle Ted and all the other Elders that have pushed for this for years! 🌿 And thanks to all the supporters and orgs who helped made this change happen, especially Ian, Poppy, Pop Walter, Uncle Nigel, Aunty Alice, Mark, Sam, Della, Ash, Bec, Calven, Elena, Maitland, Clint, Kylie, Iggy, Rach, Jen, Katherine, Soula, Marco, Helen, Luci, Ric, Lawrie, Nick, Jem, Bec, Chris, Alex, Suz, Tarsh, Steph, Martin, Rach, Jodie, Zoe, Lawrie, Ezra, Ash, Katie, Kobi, Tim, Josh, Ali, Kirby, Mitch, Shaz, Pauline, Gillian, Bianca, Maya Same Drum Town of Cambridge City of Vincent Performing Lines Perth Festival Western Australian Museum Spaced Viewport XR Sandbox Productions Community Arts Network Museum of Freedom & Tolerance Friends of Galup-Lake Monger Town Team Movement Flower District ART ON THE MOVE Lake Monger Recreation Club White Spark Pictures Cue Sound History Council of Western Australia Kate Chaney MP Christine Tonkin Reconciliation WA Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries Creative Australia and Lotterywest. #galup #lakemonger #truthtelling #healing

🔥SMOKING CEREMONY HELD AT GALUP TO ACKNOWLEDGE 1830 MASSACRE Whadjuk Elder Aunty Glenda Kickett welcomed 80 community members at Galup / Lake Monger last Friday as part of a gathering to acknowledge the massacre that happened there on 3rd May 1830. Traditional Owners Ash Penfold and Ian Wilkes guided people through the smoking ceremony which aimed to bring people together for connection and healing. The event culminated with a Noongar song that Wilkes wrote to honour the people who lost their lives there. “Galup is an important site for Whadjuk Noongar people and an area where our people camped” Ms Kickett said. “Not many people know about the massacre that took place there. We are at a point as a nation to really start to acknowledge First Nations peoples and the histories of colonisation and dispossession. That acknowledgement is an important part of healing.” Amongst the attendees were Town of Cambridge Mayor Gary Mack, Cr Xavier Carr, Cr Jane Cutler and CEO Gary Tuffin along with politicians Kate Chaney MP, Christine Tonkin MLA and Pierre Yang MLC. The event was supported by local not-for-profit groups Same Drum, Friends of Galup-Lake Monger, The Flower District West Leederville and Reconciliation WA. The speakers made a call for the community to support restoring the lake’s traditional Noongar name Galup, meaning ‘place of home fires’, and building a memorial there to remember the massacre. They also requested more information be displayed at the lake about the cultural significance of the area which is a Registered Aboriginal Heritage Site. The advocacy group included artists Ian Wilkes and Poppy van Oorde-Grainger who told stories of Galup in two major arts projects including an oral history from Elder Doolann-Leisha Eatts about the colonial massacre at the lake on 3rd May 1830. The team created the Galup performance (Perth Festival 2021) and the Galup VR Experience (Western Australian Museum 2022) and said the memorial and restored name would be a fitting outcome of the truth telling process that has gained momentum through the arts projects. The Town of Cambridge recognises the significance of Galup / Lake Monger to the Whadjuk Noongar people and is finalising the Lake Monger (Galup) Management Plan 2024-34 in consultation with Whadjuk Traditional Owners. The plan includes honouring the area's Whadjuk Noongar heritage over the coming decade and acknowledging the 1830 massacre. Discussions include restoring the area's Whadjuk Noongar name and building a memorial to show respect to affected families and communities. “We anticipate public consultation on the plan’s recommendations soon, ensuring Galup / Lake Monger is acknowledged as a place of cultural significance and reconciliation,” said Mayor Gary Mack.
