Our Elders, Generational Knowledge
Description:
My inspiration in my Mirning and Kokatha language groups.
Yellow stars are Ancestors from the Seven Sisters Kokatha Dreaming, who we look up to and who follow our journeys.
Elders (middle symbol) are key, passing knowledge and wisdom like flowing water to surrounding community and from generation to generation.
The white outlining demonstrates the protection Elders provide and links to red-bellied black snake from a story shared with me, emphasising the vital role Elders play in protecting and sharing knowledge across generations, including knowledge about our Country (running water and tracks).
