Can you imagine growing up between two worlds? To become a mother at a young age having just lost two of the most important people in your life?Georgina Gellett can - but despite these challenges, she has overcome them to become an inspiring young leader in her community.As a proud Yolngu woman the land of her ancestors is sacred. It provides nourishment and shelter. As a bush doctor it is a place of spirituality and healing - and as a ranger, she has taken on the responsibility to protect it. For her daughter - and for the generations to come.During this podcast Georgina invites us into her world - which just so happens to be stuck between two.
NOTE: To simplify, Georgina describes the two moieties which all Yolngu people in North East Arnhem Land belong to as Ying and Yang. The correct terms are Dhuwa and Yirritja. Children belong to the same moiety as their father.
