Uncle Roger

In this episode we return to Micah Kickett for his final story of the season. A proud Koori and Noongar man, Micah has already shown us the power of blending sharp wit with deep reflection. Now he takes us somewhere more personal, back to Western Australia and the Mogumber Mission, once known as the Moore River Native Settlement.

It is a place heavy with history and part of the Stolen Generations. Many Aboriginal children were taken here, including Micah’s Uncle Roger. But this story is about more than loss. Walking side by side, Micah and Uncle Roger revisit the mission grounds to uncover the memories and connections that live there. Some are painful, some are tender, and all are told with honesty and heart.

Through their conversation, we see how healing can come from returning to the places that shaped us, and how sharing our stories can reclaim the spaces that once tried to silence them. It is a moving reminder that the past is never just behind us. It lives in the land, the people, and the choices we make today.
