Traditional Custodians have recorded sea level changes, volcanic shifts and meteoric events for over 10,000 years through story, song, dance and art. Since colonisation, these knowledge systems have faced immense pressure. In this podcast, Tiahni Adamson traces her own journey to connect with her ancestry and explores how Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge can strengthen Country to help it adapt.
With Aunty Bernice Hookey, Tiahni unpacks epistemic injustice and resilience, before heading to Birriliburu Country to meet Martu women keeping culture strong – and discovers a powerful new online tool for sharing knowledge, respectfully.
Topics covered:
- How Indigenous knowledge systems inform environmental adaptation
- The impact of epistemic injustice on Traditional Custodians
- Martu women's role in cultural and ecological resilience.
