Yuin

I'm one of your hosts, Ash Bowden, and I would like to begin by acknowledging the traditional owners of the lands upon which we record this podcast today.

We're recording from the lands of the Yuin and the Whadjuk Noongar people.

We pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging.

In today's episode of The Good GP, we're discussing the updated approach to atrial fibrillation, something I can guarantee all GPs face.

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands and waters this podcast is recorded on, the Yuin people, and pay our respects to elders past and present.

Hi

everyone, welcome back to Do We Need Help? I'm Liv.

I'm Alison Page.

I'm a Dharawal and Yuin designer, the director of the Indigenous Institute for Designing with Country at UTS.

I think a lot of people can find that sort of First Nations perspective a little overwhelming at first because it's a multidimensional idea, country.

So...

la la la la it's

only taken a year We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands and waters this podcast is recorded on, the Yuin people, and pay our respects to elders past and present.

Hi, everyone.

Welcome back to Do We Need Help? I'm Liv.

The First Nations people have lived on and cared for this part of the south coast for thousands of years.

The Ulladulla region has long-standing connection with Aboriginal communities, including the Dharawal and the wider Yuin cultural region.

The ocean, estuaries, forests and surrounding country provided food, resources and cultural connections passed down through generations.

Those connections continue today and it's important to remember that the history of this place didn't begin with European settlement.

So that was back in the day, and now, you know, we have to apply for funding that's specific for culture and language.

Dylan Berger is a Gumbaynggirr Dhungati and Yuin man and part of the Dadi Gumbaynggirr Research Project with the University of Western Sydney.

It focuses on language revitalization at Koolai and the first indigenous language bilingual primary school in the state, the Gumbaynggirr Ginginay Freedom School.

So we're working with students from the beginning of preschool all the way through to year nine at the moment, and then also the staff and the, uh, families of the students as well.

[news music] From the SBS newsroom, I'm Biwa Kwan.

The process of moving from grief to healing and action continues for Stolen Generations descendant Carly Stewart, a Wandi Wandian woman from Yuin country on the south coast of New South Wales.

I spoke to her about national data that shows the current impacts of the forcible removal of First Nations children, which happened in Australia between the mid-eighteen hundreds until the nineteen seventies.

The group became known as the Stolen Generations.

I feel very honoured to be asked to bring in First Nations ceremony and healing, holding and grounding people through their loss and grief.

This is Auntie Rhonda Dixon-Grovenor, traditional descendant and elder of the Gadigal peoples, Bidjigal peoples, Dharug peoples, and Yuin peoples.

Auntie Rhonda and Victoria are old friends and creative collaborators, and Auntie Rhonda is now one of LifeRites' elders in residence.

Uncle Max Sulaman Harrison, Yuin senior law man, he, um, taught me how to do ceremony through the different protocols that I need to follow.

I wear ochre when I'm doing ceremony.

I put my possum skin cloak on, ceremonial cloak that our family made, and the burning inside of the cloak is about our creation stories, our totems, our bush medicines, and so on.
