The great man, recently passed, of North East Arnhem Land, spent his lifetime explaining to the world the #Yolŋu worldview.

Yunupingu himself explains “we seek that moment in the ceremonial cycle where all is equal and in balance. Where older men have guided the younger ones and, in turn, taken knowledge from their elders; where no one is better than anyone else, everyone is equal, performing their role and taking their duties and responsibilities – then the ceremony is balanced and the clan moves in unison: there is no female, no male, no little ones and no big ones; we are all the same.”

This is yothu yindi.
Balance. Wholeness. Completeness.

Just as these great clans are bound to each other for all time, so too are all those that now call #Australia home. Together we must secure a future for Australia in which we can find harmony and balance between all the people of this nation. – Taken from his final public statement, delivered to parliament by the Labor senator Pat Dodson.

..als het woord #aboriginals of #Aborigines toch op het biljet zou komen te staan.
Het zou mooi zijn als hun #historie werkelijk wordt geëerd door hen te vragen welke naam er dan op moet komen.

En als ze dan toch bezig zijn, wijzig dan ook de naam #Arnhemland in #Yolŋu land, want dat volk woont daar. Géén #Arhemmers.
Er zijn aanwijzingen dat zij de 1e #australiers waren.

Time to tackle those neglected dishes. While I do that, here's another @indigenousauthors book.
