Volunteers and the burial ground dream

Kym had a dream that the people organizing the volunteers had decided that no female volunteers would receive any form of remuneration. Kym dreamed that he was informed by another Aboriginal person that there was a burial ground within our vicinity that was next to a bend in a river.
The ideas associated to the indigenous approach to intellectual property, knowledge systems, rights, culture and heritage, have come to our attention in the dreaming. The issues of law that are relative to the short term, the long term and the changing circumstances, have led us to decide to hold those rights that relate to our indigenous region, with the assistance of the Government of Australia and with the view of protecting them in the dreaming from any further exploitations. We will report any instances of title or heritage exploitations to the Federal Government of Australia, as is our practice and as we have done for some time now. Any further issues of contentions or argument should be directed to the Federal Court of Australia, Native Title Unit, where our documents are being held.
