In current dialogues around sacred beliefs and political rights, Indigenous Australians are powerfully and proactively seeking to bring together Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. The moving and powerful words of the 2017 Uluru Statement from the Heart draw on the authority of Indigenous ancestors: “[A]ccording to the reckoning of our culture, from the Creation, according to the common law from ‘time immemorial’.” They declare that Indigenous “sovereignty is a spiritual notion: the ancestral tie between the land” and human life, and they seek to establish “Makarrata … the culmination of our agenda: the coming together after a struggle.” So, the next phases of decolonisation in Australia are imagined in the Uluru Statement as both spiritual and political, sacred and material. Just so, the poetic and activist voice of Lionel Fogarty has been concerned, across the last 20 years, with Indigenous rights, justice, and freedom; and equally with how to imagine and represent such political needs in their fullest context, as sacred rights, sovereign justice, and fully realised freedom. In his 1994 poem “Farewell Reverberated Vault of Detentions,” for example, we hear Fogarty in full voice, satiric and playful, but also in deadly earnest, as he contemplates simultaneously the tragedy of Indigenous lives lost in custody, and imagines a riveting, utopian possibility for hope and new meaning. This chapter will examine the multiple ways in which the poetic language of Fogarty draws together both political and sacred concerns; how—linguistically, imaginatively—Fogarty’s poetry represents ancient and new forms of Indigenous life and meaning, in the spirit of all those who are willing “to walk with us in a movement of the Australian people for a better future” (The Uluru Statement).
