Many memories and sources shape our yarners' conversation

Ceidwad

In Yarn 1, Beth Smith shares ceidwad, calling on the person who is “the keeper of the memory…. It’s the person whose role within a tribe or a group is to be the one that brings a bit of history with them.” Dr Anne Poelina, a Nyikina Warrwa Traditional Custodian from the Mardoowarra, lower Fitzroy River in Western Australia, talks about Bookarrarra and ‘learning from the past to centre the present, always thinking about the future’. Like Poelina, in this series our yarners share many of the sources behind their ideas. We hope you are curious and will value these links to sources and our invitation to explore the wider context of their conversation.
