To coincide with NAIDOC week, the acclaimed rapper and Indigenous activist launched his new song The Children Came Back.

The song is a modern adaption of Archie Roach’s harrowing song Took The Children Away.

Like its predecessor the song has a strong political undercurrent that delves into Australia’s dark past but it also conveyed heartwarming notions of hope for the next generation of Indigenous people .   

Samara plays a young Cathy Freeman in the music video which comes weeks after she was racially vilified while dressed as Queen Elsa at a Frozen-themed children's at Melbourne shopping centre. 

Mirroring the groundswell of love from around the world that surrounded Samara following the attack, Briggs’s song radiates racial empowerment, celebrating renowned Indigenous identities including Gavin Wanganeen, Cathy Freeman, Adam Goodes and Patty Mills. 

The song features vocals by Gurrumul and Dewayne Everettsmith alongside Briggs rhyming. It was first performed on Triple J in July last year.

Samara’s mum Rachel Muir described Samara and Briggs as "soulmates."

“As soon as she met him they had an immediate connection,” Ms Muir said. 

“There is so much love between them.”

Ms Muir said the first time Samara watched the film clip she pressed her hands on the television screen before beating her hand on heart.

Ms Muir said she was moved to tears by the film clip.

She said the family has watched it “hundreds” of times.

"We put it on and she just starts dancing,” Ms Muir said. “Even though she is only three she understands the message of the song...that it is about love and acceptance of Aboriginal culture. It’s about hope for the future.”

Since the story appeared in The Courier on June 13, the family have received thousands of messages of support from around the world. 

The story also gained widespread global attention and featured on programs across Australia and on English broadcaster the BBC.

A personal video message was also sent to Samara from a real-life Queen Elsa in Disney World in Orlando.

Ms Muir said if there was anything to be gained by the racial attack, she hoped it was universal acceptance of diversity. 

“Underneath it all, we’re all the same,” Ms Muir said. “We all bleed red. We are all equal despite our differences whether that be the colour of our skin, religion or any other difference.”
