We would like to acknowledge the Yued/Yuat people of the land we did the video on Moora, acknowledge their Elders past, present and future.
We would also like to thank the Yued/Yuat people for access and permission to film at the original site of the Moore River Mission, Mogumber.

Indigenous Hip Hop Projects were lucky enough to go out to the Wheatbelt region on Western Australia for the second time. This was made possible through the Wheatbelt Mental Health Services team who were instrumental in putting this project together and were hands on all the way through.
Big thank you to the young Aboriginal students from the Wheatbelt, Northam Senior High School and Central Midlands Senior High School for participating in this video clip and being so amazing to work with.
Thank you to the Northam Shire for allowing us to use Bernard Park to hold our big event.
Strong Mind | Strong Body | Strong Spirit | Strong Culture
LYRICS
Girls Verse
• We are here to talk about Mental Health
• As the youth, look out for yourself
• We don’t like to see wrong in our community
• We should be family, we should have unity
• No more fighting that is shame
• When there’s drugs and alcohol there’s nothing to gain
• Somethings not right open up to each other
• Talk my sister, talk my brother
• If your feeling down, know where to go
• No judgement, there’s support you have to know
• Your mind, your journey, your perceptions of things
• See it all clearly with you it all begins
Pre Chorus
Violence and trauma we want it out
We’re healing our future we have no doubt
Violence and trauma we want it out
Take care of my mind, take care of my health
Chorus
Na Na Na Northam town
Got each others backs through the ups and downs
Ma Ma Ma Moora town
On our own journey but from the same town

On our own journey but from the same town

• Moora and Northam represent
• Here on this land is the time that we spend
• To be with our families and our friends
• To pass on the knowledge that will never end
• Friends go to the Burlong pool, river or park
• Proud of these places, close to our heart
