“Dadirri - ‘deep inner listening, quite still awareness’. Aunty Miriam Rose Ungunmerr Baumann has been instrumental in gifting these words and the knowledge that they hold to generations of people.
As an Aboriginal women myself, these words have always deeply resonated with me. In my language group the equivalent world is ‘gan’na’ which means to hear, listen, feel, think, understand. It is time to listen, to feel, to think and to understand where we have been and where we are going. It is time our stories are told as we move forward and create a cycle of intergenerational healing. Voices of the Rivers: Empowering and Connecting Indigenous Communities is an initiative that truly honours this process. I cannot stress enough how important it is to support this project.
