天鹅河谷的土著，侬嘠人声称他们要收回自己的土地——Lockridge社区露营地。这块土地的归属仍有争议，侬嘠人搭建了自己帐篷使馆，誓言要找回自己的家园。
从周二起，侬嘠社区就已经来到了营区。周围邻居说，他们是从营区围栏翻过去的。
由于对常见的性虐待问题的指责，Gallop政府早在2003年就关闭了这个营区。
Herbert Bropho是天鹅河谷地区侬嘠土著社区的发言人，他声称，如果有警察驱逐，他将抗争到底。
“任他警察东南西北风，我自咬定青山不放松” ，他说。
周围有路过的摩托党对他们谩骂。
“这帮货说啥，我没一毛钱关系”，Bropho先生说。
“有种的话，把骂人的话回家留给老婆试试。”
“其他人都挺好的，就这帮二货路过。”
“不知道当初他妈是咋教的。”
土著人帐篷大使Greg Martin前来，给Bropho先生带来了一个主权大礼包。
Martin先生说：“这个礼包里有1872和1875年 Pacific Islanders法案，法案中提到英格兰的君主和维多利亚女王，对天鹅河谷地区的土著人没有司法管辖权。 ”
Bella Bropho长老说，她的家族对这块土地有合法的所有权，他们正在收回自己的家园。
老B说：“Lockridge是我们的家园，当初被人不当的夺走了，现在我的家族正一点一点地把它抢回来。”
“出来混总要还的，我们的家总要还给我们的。”
帐篷大使是在处理完H岛土著人自二月中旬起就开始的长期抗议活动后前来的。
抗议营就搭建在州政府的对面，他们向西南土著海陆权委员会提议用10亿澳元解决土著地权纠纷。
我们希望全国的各界人士都能理解，我们之前的，甚至是现在的，处境有多糟。
“想想看，我们被迫背井离乡，很多人无家可归，很多人路死街头，孩子们的境况也惨不忍睹。请大家都来支持我们的还我家园的行为”
Nyoongar community returns to Lockridge
May 19, 2012
SWAN Valley Nyoongars say that they have reclaimed the controversial Lockridge community camp by setting up a tent embassy and have vowed to fight to stay.
The community has been at the campsite since Thursday, when neighbours say they scaled the fences to gain entry.
The Gallop government closed the campsite in 2003 amid allegations of widespread sexual abuse.
Swan Valley Nyungah Community spokesman Herbert Bropho said he would resist any police attempt to remove them from the site.
``If the police come I'll stand my ground,'' he said.
Passing motorists have been shouting abuse outside the site.
``I don't care what they say, it doesn't bother me,'' Mr Bropho said.
``I just wonder if they go home and swear at their wives like that.
``Other people are alright but you get these stupid idiots going past.
``They need to be educated.''
Tent Embassy Ambassador Greg Martin presented Mr Bropho with a Sovereignty Pack at the campsite today.
``The pack contains the Pacific Islanders Act of 1872 and 1875, in which the Crown of England and Queen Victoria mentions that she does not have jurisdiction of Aboriginal people within the Swan River Colony,'' Mr Martin said.
Elder Bella Bropho said her family are reclaiming their rightful land.
``Our family is slowly taking back our Lockridge home that was wrongfully taken from us. We are here to make a point that it is still our land,'' Ms Bropho said.
``This is our home we want it returned back to us.”
The Swan Valley tent embassy comes after a protracted protest by the group on Heirisson Island since mid-February.
The camp was set up in opposition to the State Government's proposed $1 billion native title deal with the South West Aboriginal Sea and Land Council that would cover all Noongar people in the region.
``We need the general community to understand how badly we were, and are still being, treated,'' she said.
``Since being forced out of our home, many members of our community are now without shelter, many of our family have died on the streets and our children are suffering. We need everyone to support us to get our home back.''
