Shellie Morris, the powerhouse Indigenous singer-songwriter, effortlessly blends tradition with innovation, creating a sonic journey through her ancestral roots. Hailing from the Yanyuwa, Garrwa, and Gurdanji communities, Morris’ soulful melodies carry the weight of Indigenous stories, bridging the past and present. In the run up to, and immediately after Australia Day, Shellie and Elliott discussed [...]Read More... from Indigenous Singer-Songwriter, Shellie Morris Speaks with Elliott Wallace: Waralungku by Arrkula Yinbayarra
Can knowledge belong to a place? Can knowledge belong to a people? And what happens when we force other cultures to prove that their ways of knowledge also have a place at the table? What is lost when we lose the ability to hold many perspectives at once, and what happens when languages that knowledge emerges from disappears? In this more-academic-than-usual (but hopefully still relevant and mind-bending) Stephanie Hazel interviews her university Anthropology lecturer, John Bradley. John taught Stephanie at UQ in 2006 on the topic of Indigenous Ethnoecology. This conversation explores epistemic violence and the exclusion of non-western ways of knowing, and does this through stories about cycad palms, about university arrogance, and about Snow Lions disappearing with glaciers melting. John shares the real lived experience of the Yanyuwa people of Arnhem Land - what living 'in relationship' with the rest of ecology actually looks like through kin-centric ecologies.The conversation also highlights the loss of indigenous languages and knowledge and the role of language in preserving plant medicine knowledge. If you want to read more about Yanyuwa kinships systems, here is a free pdf book about Yanyuwa Law, co-authored by John Bradley. And here is another one a bit less about Law, and more about Kinship. Warning: both of these are heavy, but fascinating! You can check John out on LinkedIn. Key Points: Unlearning is essential to include other ways of knowing and challenge Western-centric perspectives. Cultural appropriation and epistemic violence occur when knowledge is taken without acknowledgment or understanding of its cultural context. The loss of indigenous languages and knowledge poses a threat to the preservation of plant medicine knowledge. Traditional plant knowledge is complex and diverse, and it should be respected and embraced in herbal medicine practices. There is a need to acknowledge and value the authority and complexity of Indigenous knowledge in herbal medicine. Curiosity, imagination, and a willingness to embrace complexity are essential in understanding plants and their relationships. **THE ELDER TREE TROVE PATREON COMMUNITY** You can join our Patreon here and gain a deeper connection to our podcast.

Malarndirri McCarthy is a Senator for the Northern Territory. Born in Katherine, she comes from the Garrwa and Yanyuwa people on her mother’s side; and she has Irish-Australian heritage from her father’s side. Growing up, Malarndirri learnt to traverse between the two very different worlds of her parents and in the process learnt resilience and courage. After high school she accepted a position with the Australian Broadcasting Commission and was a newsreader in Darwin for many years. She then entered politics, first in the Territory parliament and then as a Senator representing the Territory in Canberra. This is Malarndirri’s Territory Story. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/territorystory/message

September 30thSYDNEY CLIMATE STRIKE Produced by Vivien Langford in Sydney. Thanks to Michaela and Andy in MelbourneSpeakers:Gadrian Hoosen – Garawa and Yanyuwa man from Boroloola, Pacific Warriors, Jean Hinchcliff, Tommy John Herbert MUA, President of Teachers’ Federation, ASU,PSA, ETU, CFMMEU, APHEDA, Parents and Grandparents and a Concerned Scientist .Music: Ready by Montaigne and New Orleans by David RovicsIt felt like an historic turning point. Not just the 100,000+ in the Domain but the new energy in the climate movement. One of the marshalls was Jenny, a climate activist I knew from 12 years ago. She reminded me of the street theatre we used to do down at Circular Quay, dramatising the climate emergency. I’d borrow a polar bear suit from a Greenpeace Giant and was glad of the disguise as I didn’t want to be recognised from my workplace. I had piles of fur around my ankles but Japanese Tourists would put their arms around me and want a cute photo. Most people didn’t understand at all that we were doing a “Die In” Climate Change was not mainstream. Now, Jenny said, she went to organising meetings and”it’s all new people”.The kaleidoscope has turned and a new coalition of students and workers, parents and professionals, has unified around the disbelief that we are still making profits out of an economy that is creating catastrophe.The media reported this as a children’s event and missed the fact that unions and churches were there in great numbers. The students have been making allies with unionists and have been on a steep learning curve about the dire realities of striking for most workers in Australia. As I wove through the crowd I learned that many workers are affected by climate change already. You will hear from a ship builder working inside the metal hulk on a heatwave day, of the firemen and forest workers confronted by uncontrollable fires in areas where they are running out of water. Factory workers processing milk are losing jobs because of the drought. Electricians working on solar farm installations are horrified at unskilled casuals working for $10 an hour and no regulation of the work. There were hundreds of stories there to be told As we walked past the parliament I imagined a cynical sign in the sky “....Tell someone who cares!” because this new climate awareness of workers and young people does not seem to be registering among our leaders. You can send this podcast to any of them in case they are trying NOT to hear the message from the streets. https://www.3cr.org.au/beyondzero POWER OF COUNTRY TOUR at Sydney Town HallMusic by Stuart Nuggett in Jingili Language –Bundurru (food)Speakers:Millie Telford – Seed Mob, Indigenous youth climate movementStuart Nuggett – Jingili Musician from Beetaloo BasinNicole Hutton – Garrawa woman from BoroloolaNaomi Hogan – Lock The Gate Alliance/Stop Origin Fracking the NTJulie Lyford – Groundswell Gloucester.

We were there to hear traditional owners and NT Community members help us understand the risks to precious waterways, to local health and to all of us if that gas is ever allowed to hasten climate catastrophe.Millie Telford, a vivacious young leader, animated the conversation on stage with musician Stuart Nuggett and Nicole Hutton. She said “We can’t do it alone. It’s time to take this fight all around the country”City people were urged to stand with our fellow citizens in remote parts of the NT. They cannot rally 100,000 climate activists, as we can in the cities, but we can support them by sending a message to Origin Energy and the NT government who lifted their moratorium on fracking for gas.It's not too late to bring it down again.Julie Lyford encouraged the NT people from her experience in Gloucester, they fought off AGL gas and the Rocky Hill Coal Mine and call themselves the mouse that roared.She said “Do not be scared at AGMs Tell them how it is.

Over 35 years ago, Dr John Bradley took up a teaching position at Borroloola in the Northern Territory, at a time when Yanyuwa children were flogged for speaking their own language at school. Defying policy, John encouraged his pupils to speak in their native tongue and he, in turn, gradually learned the Yanyuwa language from the Elders. Don’t keep history a mystery - come with us and explore some of the real history of Australia as John talks about the commentary around songs and stories, and shares tantalising snippets of his vast knowledge about the timeless nature of songlines as taught to him by the Yanyuwa people. For anyone even remotely interested in the complex but intriguing concept of Aboriginal songlines, “Singing Saltwater Country” written by John Bradley with the Yanyuwa families, is definitely a ‘must-read’. Find a link to John’s work, including incredible 3D Dreaming and other animations created by the Monash Country Lines Archive project, on the website at www.songlinesaustralia.net.

This Walkley Media Talk celebrated the diversity of story-telling and the many new platforms indigenous journalists and storytellers now have space on to tell their stories. The discussion examined the rise of indigenous media into the mainstream and new innovations in storytelling and the implications for coverage of indigenous affairs in Australia. It also examined the challenges and importance of meaningful collaboration and the experience of non-indigenous journalists in covering Aboriginal issues. This panel was moderated by Karla Grant (@karlagrant28), of SBS Living Black. Malarndirri McCarthy (@malarndirri) is a senior journalist/presenter for SBS/NITV News. The former ABC newsreader began her cadetship in 1989 and worked as a journalist until 2005. That year, the Yanyuwa woman from Borroloola in the Northern Territory became the Member for Arnhem in the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly. After the 2008 election, Malarndirri was promoted to the Ministry, where she served as Minister for Children and Families, Indigenous & Regional Development, Tourism , Statehood, Women's Policy, Senior Territorians, Young Territorians and the Minister Assisting the Chief Minister on Multicultural Affairs until August 2012. She returned to the newsroom in December 2012. Malarndirri won the inaugural Deadly Award for Journalism. Martin Butler studied politics and economics at Oxford University and then went to work for the manager of ‘The Who’. In 1981, he migrated to Australia and spent the next 25 years as a longform current affairs television producer for ABC Four Corners, Foreign Correspondent and Dateline. He’s produced two Walkley Award-winners and won the New York Film and Television best documentary award. He worked with Bentley Dean to produce the award-winning Contact, a film about the last first-contact in the Western Desert of Australia. For the past three years he has devoted his life to First Footprints – a documentary exploring ancient Aboriginal history awarded the 2013 Walkley Award for documentary in 2013. Kathy Marks (@kathymarksoz) won the 2013 Walkley Award for Coverage of Indigenous Affairs for “Channelling Mannalargenna” – an essay published on the plight of Indigenous Tasmanians in Griffith REVIEW. Her work explored the links between the past and the present, a brutal history that still reverberates in today’s fragmented community. Marks was born in Manchester and worked for Reuters and Fleet Street newspapers before moving to Australia in 1999 as The Independent’s Asia-Pacific correspondent. A regular contributor to Good Weekend, The Monthly and Griffith REVIEW, her work was included in the Best Australian Essays 2010 collection (Black Inc.).
