farewell to David Gulpilil...

I'll never forget David Gulpilil's dramatic+sensitive role in the 1976 film 'Storm Boy'. But he was so much more than an actor...he was a singer and a painter. He had an amazing range of skills. A trailblazer for his culture. Thank you David for sharing your love of this land.

A trailblazer & giant of art and culture. Thank you, David Dalaithngu. I’ll never forget the impact Storm Boy had on me, from a wildlife, and Indigenous cultural perspective.

Australian history still emerging...

I still firmly believe that there is so much Australian history we know nothing about...For too long, we chose not to know...the white person superiority syndrome + stereotypical beliefs...It's time to honour+respect that there may be so much more to the Australian story... https://t.co/98p0iQhwQj pic.twitter.com/ZuoGE5lDdc

Min Min lights...

In the Kimberley, Western Australia, some Aboriginal people believe the Min Min lights are spirits of elders.

Christmas to an aboriginal community...

In 2011, the remote community of Gapuwiyak gave Darwin the chance to share in a Yolngu Christmas. For the Yolngu, Christmas is marked as a time to 'make present' ancestral spirits (brirrimbirr) and to infuse the living with a renewed sense of purpose.https://t.co/ifyXoHPWLp pic.twitter.com/4AN7aN4Nou
