This land is mine ! This land is me ...

behind that collateral damage of the slaughtered Sikhs lies something much deeper.  the sense of white ownership of stolen lands. "This land is mine" !

  I link to the song that line came from  and to a review of the movie it was in .Listen and read.  Then just think and feel.

"One Night the Moon shows that landscape in the Australian cinematic sphere is still a contested site, still the grounds on which notions of national identity are played out. "


 "His early statement to the police, “no blacks on my land”, highlights the means by which settler possession (“my land”) is predicated on exclusion (“no blacks”). "
