'''''Homeland Movement''''' is the debut [[studio album]] by Australian rock band [[Yothu Yindi]] that was released in April 1989 on the [[Mushroom Records]] label. The album peaked at number 59 on the ARIA Chart in 1992.

==Background and release==
Following a tour of Australia and North America in late 1988, supporting [[Midnight Oil]], the band signed with Mushroom Records and spent a day in Sydney recording a demo tape. Mushroom Records released the demo as the band's debut album.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/yothu-yindi-mn0000964089/biography|title=Yothu Yindi|publisher=[[Allmusic]]|first=Ed|last=Nimmervoll|accessdate=4 February 2020}}</ref>

One side of the album comprised punchy politicised rock songs, such as "Mainstream", whilst the other side concentrated on traditionally based songs like "Djapana (Sunset Dreaming)", written by former teacher [[Mandawuy Yunupingu]].<ref>{{cite book|title=Currency companion to music and dance in Australia|publisher=Currency House Inc|editor1=Scott-Maxwell, Aline|editor2=Whiteoak, John|date=2003|page=539}}</ref>
