Yarning for community

[Deadly1]

Hi You Mob 

I have joined this yarning cycle and are looking forward to talking with you all. 

I am a Palawa Elder who enjoys helping other mobs as I understand our hardship when facing issues that require support. 

I have 2 son's and 5 grandchildren and 3 adopted grandchildren, and a 10 Yō cat I love and spoil,

looking forward to yarning soon.

Hey you mob,

I am Brinja-Yuin, Djiringanj and Gamilaroi, and I am living on beautiful Yuin Country.

Thank you very much for having me, I think this is a great idea! And I am looking forward to getting to know you all better. 🙂

Something that helps my social and emotional wellbeing is making more time for self-care; whether it's being on Country, visiting mob, or simply spending time outside with my dogs.

Hope everyone is having/has had a deadly week!

Hey @defaultusername nice to meet you!
What kind of dog do you have?
My dog is a heeler.
What is the best part for you about being First Nations?

Lovely to meet you @ArraDreaming!

Heelers are great dogs! How old is yours? 3/4 of mine are about 8-9yrs old and then there's a 3/12yr old.

In order from largest to smallest - I have a Bull Mastiff x Bull Arab, Heeler x Kelpie, Kelpie x Bull Arab and a little one who (we think) is a Terrier x, but I'm not 100% sure.

And I think the best things (hard to narrow it down to one) about being First Nations is how it's shaped who I am, by creating a beautiful sense of community and how connected I feel to animals and my environment. How about yourself? And anyone else that would like to join in.

My Nicki is 2 1/2 years old roughly @defaultusername

I agree, it is connection to the land and waters for me
And something that is consistent in a world that is always moving, the land and waters will always be there to ground you, other things and people move but they always stay

Also, @defaultusername passing our culture down to my little ones

[ArraDreaming]

I enjoy teaching them what it means to be Aboriginal and what a strong ally looks like as well
