Wurnan: Sharing on Ngarinyin Country by Wilinggin Aboriginal Corporation

Wurnan: Sharing on Ngarinyin Country by Wilinggin Aboriginal CorporationIn the Kimberley region of Western Australia, a group of Ngarinyin people have been engaging with archival material and travelling back to Country to remember and record traditional harvesting and craft making practices for future generations. This book takes you there, around the campfire where stories are shared and knowledge is passed on. Where memories bubble up about the old days when single use rafts were hastily constructed using dry pandanus

Even with the help of an Araluan Ranger

part nature book-meditating on the meaning of "flatness" and its literary tradition to find ways to understand ourselves and our trauma in one of nature's most undervalued wonders

and the potential for transformation

and so funny

and full of the info you need

nor the streets and neighbourhoods of a father's childhood and the deep roots of family who have lived in one place

House of Night reminds us that the story of any place

The stories centred around cars

is heartbreaking and uplifting in equal measure
