Little Yarns

This year's NAIDOC theme is 'Keep the fire burning! Blak, loud and proud' so we're revisiting Dreaming stories shared with us by Clayton on Adnyamathanha Country and Brittanie on Gumbaynggirr Country.  

The sun's going down and the sky is getting dark...  It's time for a lullaby to drift off to sleep. Let's head to Gumbaynggirr Country for a littler yarn with Troy Cassar-Daley about his new lullaby 'Ninganah'...

Let's have a yarn with Walmajarri artist Nyangulya Katie Nalgood. It gets pretty hot on her Country but you can still find bright, beautiful birds down by the waterhole. They're Katie's favourite things to paint ever since she was little...

This Littler Yarn was a collaboration with the Tarnanthi Art Festival and the Art Gallery of South Australia, with special thanks to Sally Lawrey, Spinifex Hill Studio and Kelly Gudgeon.

We're meeting Yindjibarndi man Wimiya Woodley to yarn about Country, lore and Rudi's favourite thing to do... dancing!

We're in the Top End to visit Yolngu Elder and artist Djakangu Yunupingu at her studio. Djakangu has painted a very special story that was passed down to her from her father. It's the story of the Djulpan and the seven sisters...

It's our last visit to see our mudyi Nathan - let's join him for a walk in the hills around Mudgee and yarn about how we can be a friend to people and Country.

The sun is setting over Wiradjuri Country and things are getting quiet, but there's a friend in the trees that's just starting to wake up... Nathan shares all kinds of Wiradjuri words that come from wilay - the brushtail possum!

We're meeting our friend Nathan by the river. He's going to introduce us to his Country and a special piece of it that always makes him feel at home - the crow! 

It can be hard to say goodbye, it can bring on a lot of big feelings. But it can also mean returning to a place or person you've been missing. Let's head back to Wambaya Country one last time to say alima to Lynette. 

Lynette's favourite person is her little brother. He's always making her laugh! Let's head back to Wambaya Country to meet him and tell a few jokes...
