Burchell Hayes, Puutu Kunti Kurrama Land Committee Chairperson, talking about Rebuilding Juukan Gorge: Traditional Owners turn to France for restoration plan. Five years after Rio Tinto destroyed a 47,000-year-old sacred rock shelter to expand an iron ore mine, an ambitious rebuild is underway, drawing inspiration all the way from France. He and other traditional owners from Western Australia’s Pilbara region are inspecting intricate carvings from the World Heritage-listed Lascaux and Chauvet caves in the south of France. Drawing inspiration after the destruction of an even older geographical feature — and the most significant cultural site on their country — the Juukan Gorge rock shelter. In 2020, it was legally destroyed in a mining blast by Rio Tinto that had been signed off by the WA government, prompting global condemnation. You can find out more via the link below!
