Marlo Morgan campaign the “Mutant Message Affair”
Manage episode 343843761 series 3404819
During 1995 the Dumbartung Aboriginal Corporation coordinated a world-wide campaign against an American woman ‘’New Age Author’’ named Marlo Morgan who wrote and published a book titled ‘’Mutant Message Downunder’’.
This campaign was an extensive and effective process that resulted in Dumbartung unifying the Aboriginal voice across Australia and from a well-planned strategy selected six well respected Aboriginal law people both male and female to travel to the United States of America to debunk the book as a new age fantasy of untruths and cultural absurdities.
The Elders participated in a series of media conferences and public venues enticing people that this book was a fabrication of the true Aboriginal cultural and spiritual values and lore!
The campaign ended in a massive walk in Tokyo Japan by Robert Eggington the Director of Dumbartung and Paul Sampi a well-respected law man of the Bardi people from One Arm Point.
Eventually a book was published written by Dr John Eustace from the Acadia university in Canada titled ‘’Old Battle-New Age’’ .
