Country and the gift (2014) : Deborah Bird Rose
In this video, ethnographer Deborah Bird Rose looks at four pathways into country, drawing on the work of Aboriginal writers, elders and philosophers including Mary Graham, Ambelin and Blaze Kwaymullina & Jimmy Mangayarri. She considers working together for country as the most important issue of our time and asks how we could re-imagine cities if the aim of city life was to inhabit and care for country.

Indigenous Language & Perception. ABC RN All in the Mind Podcast Produced by Lynne Malcolm. 2019
Relevant to our explorations of yarning, this program includes discussion of how our perception of the world is significantly affected by the language we speak. It frames our worldview by training our brains in line with cultural understanding. Indigenous languages from around Australia pose a vastly different perspective of the world than that of English. We explore how these languages influence perceptions of self, kinship and the natural world. With Dr Tyson Yunkaporta, linguist Prof Nick Evans and Bardi Psychologist Prof Pat Dudgeon.
I can’t Breathe – ABC 4 Corners Documentary by Stan Grant. 2020.
A profoundly moving story from special guest reporter Stan Grant in the wake of the shocking killing of unarmed black man George Floyd captured on camera in the United States. Mr Floyd’s death under the knee of a white police officer unleashed a wave of grief and anger across America. That wave reached Australia’s shores with thousands of Australians coming out to protest in support of our Indigenous community. In this deeply personal story, Stan Grant gives voice to the frustration and hurt that has defined the life experience of so many Indigenous Australians and explores why the death of George Floyd resonates so profoundly.
