The Declaration of the
Continuing Independent State of the Nyoongar Nation

DJURIN REPUBLIC

PAGE 2

The Djurin Ancient Lands are the Birthplace of the Balladong People and the Creation of the Nyoongar Nation. Here our physical, Spiritual, Cultural, and Political identity as a People and Nation was shaped. The Lands, Subsurface, Natural Resources, Waters and Airspace, was created for us to live in harmony with and care for by Maamin Nidger Yirrah our Creator. Here we first attained to Statehood, through laws and customs, which were and still are observed and practiced. Our people lived and still live in harmony with nature, the landscape and our Mother Earth.

After attempts by the colonisers to be exiled from our land through genocidal unjust and illegal acts by the British and to control our Lands, Subsurface, Natural Resources, Waters and Airspace, erase our language, wipe out our culture and cultural practices and to remove us off our lands to missions on other Peoples’ country, the Djurin Balladong Nyoongah People kept faith and physical connection to Country throughout our Dispersion and never ceased to pray and hope for the restoration within our Ancient Lands of our Spiritual, Cultural and Political Freedom.

ACCORDINGLY, WE THE MEMBERS OF THE NYOONGAR NATION, DECLARE OUR CONTINUED INDEPENDENT STATEHOOD ON BEHALF OF OUR PEOPLES, AND, BY VIRTUE OF OUR NATURAL ANCESTRAL AND INHERENT RIGHT AND ON THE STRENGTH OF THE RESOLUTION OF OUR PEOPLE HEREBY DECLARE THE CONTINUATION OF THE BALLADONG STATE, TO BE HEREINAFTER KNOW AS THE

DJURIN REPUBLIC

THE BALLADONG PEOPLE OF ALL GENERATIONS DECLARE that we have never ceded our Sovereignty, Dominion or Ultimate Title over our ancient homeland nor did we give permission through treaty or any other agreement for the colonisers to enter our ancient land and for our Mother Earth to be violated through progressive illegal acts, practices or policies of the British Crown, former British Colonies, the state of Western Australia or the Australian Federal Governments.

WE THE BALLADONG PEOPLE DECLARE that our People have maintained a physical, spiritual and cultural connection to our Ancient Lands, Subsurface, Natural Resources, Waters and Airspace and we did not ceded our Sovereignty Dominion and Ultimate Title through any process of treaty or cession nor through any act of war declared on the Nyoongar Nation and its peoples by the British Crown, Governments or their servants.

WE DECLARE that the Djurin Ancient Lands were occupied by the Balladong People at the time the colonisers took up large pastoral leases granted through illegal acts of British Western Australian Government, on behalf of the Crown.

WE DECLARE that there will be a Peoples Council and a Peoples Administration established until the elections of the regular authority of the State.
WE DECLARE that with effect from the moment dated 6th day of November 2014, until the establishment of the elected, regular authorities of the State in accordance with the DRAFT Constitution which shall be adopted by a referendum of Balladong Peoples’ not later than the 6th day of November 2016, the People's Council shall act as a Provisional Council of State, and its executive organ, the People's Administration, shall be the Provisional Government of the DJURIN REPUBLIC.

THE DJURIN REPUBLIC will be open for Balladong Peoples, Non- Balladong people currently residing within the borders of our ancient lands and others who wish to live in our country.

THE DJURIN REPUBLIC WILL FOSTER THE DEVELOPMENT of the country for the benefit of all its inhabitants; it will be based on spiritual, cultural, freedom, justice and peace as envisaged by our peoples. It will ensure complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants irrespective of religion, race or sex; it will guarantee freedom of culture, religion, conscience, language, and education; it will safeguard our sacred places handed down to us by our Creator and our Ancestors; and it will be faithful to the principles of the Charter of the United Nations.

THE DJURIN REPUBLIC is prepared to cooperate with the agencies and representatives of the Crown of the Great British, State and Federal Governments of Australia through their nominated representatives and the United Nations in implementing the peaceful transition and development of our Sovereign State as an equal in this world.

WE APPEAL to the United Nations to assist the Balladong People in the building-up of our State and to receive the DJURIN REPUBLIC into the world family that is represented by the United Nations.

WE EXTEND our hand to all neighbouring states and their peoples in an offer of peace and good neighbourliness, and appeal to them to establish bonds of cooperation and understanding.

THE DJURIN REPUBLIC is prepared to do its share in a common effort for the advancement of other Ancestral Nations within the Continent of Australia.

WE APPEAL to non Balladong constituents to embrace this DECLARATION OF STATEHOOD FOR THE NYOONGAR NATION, and accept the formation of the DJURIN REPUBLIC and consent to its constitution.
