Australia has a history and one of many rich and diverse cultures going back thousands of years. But in more recent years power structures of western colonialism have excluded the knowledge of Indigenous people across Australia. More recently, Australian Indigenous people have determined their agency across political and socio-economic platforms, and escalated rights and responsibilities over their affairs and the management of Indigenous knowledge. In addressing these historical power imbalances, it’s important we understand them.

Today, Indigenous knowledge and their connection to diverse environments and ecosystems is being impacted as the climate changes- but also utilised to understand and address these impacts.

This webinar looked at the big picture of how Western and Traditional knowledge can come together, how meaningful Indigenous engagement can benefit all and the importance of Free and Informed Prior consent, Indigenous Cultural Intellectual Property and cultural safety for all. It will also look at examples of best practice cross-cultural exchange.

The panel of women from across Australia in this roundtable discussion included:

Burning Country is one of the most important traditional practices in Aboriginal culture, and walking on Country always goes with sacred stories of Creation. Burning allowed people to live in, walk through and eat from one of the harshest land on Earth: the Australian desert. "Animals and plants tell us when, how, where to burn, we have to be able to listen to their clues".

A project led by NT Central Land Council, this short films is told by some of the last living tribal knowledge custodians from Kintore, Pintupi Luritja tribes, with passionate officers from CLC, who support traditional tribes to manage land in a time when diseases and land contamination prevent them from living a fully traditional life.

Dedicated to the memory of Aboriginal elder Morris Gibson, who left his body not long after this video was completed. To me, Morris has been the living example of who the Aboriginals used to be and what they have had to go through during the past decades. Respected tribal custodian of traditional knowledge and practices, at the time of filming he needed full support as he had lost part of his legs due to diabetes.
