These skin names identify responsibilities in relationships that we have with each member of our family. The Mirrar are protecting their country when they say no to Jabiluka. There are areas on our land which are sacred. These are known as sacred sites. They are the ancestral creation beings journeys and resting places which require our protection.
Many sites have restriction on access.
If sacred sites are disturbed there are fatal, cataclysmic consequences for our people. The development of the Jabiluka mine threatens Mirrar sacred sites.
