24.01.2022 Mori, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and Pasifika peoples may have traditional healing practices and rituals which should be taken into account when providing care. Traditional healing practices may also be relevant to individuals from other traditional societies. Psychiatrists should refer to the RANZCP’s online resources relating to cultural competency and responsiveness. https://www.ranzcp.org/practice-ed/indigenous-mental-health

14.01.2022 [Please note: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should be aware that this film contains images, voices, or names of deceased persons. We acknowledge that, for some people and communities, these images may cause distress and sadness. Where ... possible, cultural permission to publish has been sought.] In the vast Western Desert of Australia, Bill Whiskey is a healer. A Ngangkari. Powerful and hugely respected. Bill Whiskey is almost 90 and was well into his teenage years when he first met a white fella. He was born the traditional way, in a shallow hole scooped out of the red dirt in the centre of Australia. Today, Bill Whiskey is one of Australias most successful artists. His paintings hang in museums and galleries across the world. Amazingly, he has only been painting for two years. When Bill Whiskeys canvas is chosen to hang in Australias most prestigious Aboriginal art exhibition, his closest friends promise to take him to see it. But Bill Whiskey has never left his country. Hes never seen a city. Never seen the ocean. Bill Whiskey has never seen his paintings on a gallery wall. This documentary film is Bill Whiskeys journey to all those places. Being out of his country Bill Whiskey is overwhelmed, fearful and homesick. He wants to go home to his birthplace where the dots of his paintings come alive. A place hes only ever been back to once in his life. There, That Old Man takes us into his dreaming, into his painting, into a world tens of thousands of years old. A place of mystery and legend where no white fella has been before. Until now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_r_okb1n3Q

06.01.2022 Although Ngangkari primarily use their hands, breath and intuitive touch to locate sicknesses and soreness many healers are also able to offer consultations without the patient being in front of them. For example Mia, a ngangkari from Santa Teresa, says she often gets a call from a family member who might be in Darwin or Alice Springs and she is able to ‘send her Ngangkar’ on the mission to identify and remedy the complaint.

03.01.2022 Some of us Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islanders Medicine men and women, do dream analysis as a part of our healing treatment. Often the dream will highlight to... us where the health issue is originating. Dreams can also assist us in many other ways. One suggestion I would make to all of you is to start a dream journal and compare your dreams to what is occurring around you. Sometimes your dream will present as an actual event or sometimes it will be presented metaphorically to you. Dreams can present as an issue that could be from the past, present or future. In my family (mother of nine) I have taught my children what I was taught during my tribal healer training from my Elders. When I have a lot of issues to address and am sometimes stressed the children will receive messages via their dreams that will assist us as a family. Note: Something is metaphorical when you use it to stand for, or symbolise, another thing Dr Elvianna Dorante-Day (Member of the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community), Australian Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Medicine Woman, Bachelor of Nursing, Registered Nurse, Masters of Arts (Aboriginal Issues), Graduate Diploma in Public Health, Doctor of Public Health (PhD) #Dreams

02.01.2022 Many local mob in Central Australia and outlining desert communities still rely heavily on Ngangkari to heal them. Troy, a ngangkari from Santa Teresa near Alice Springs, explains to me that Ngangkari do not get paid for their community work. It’s their duty and is handed down by senior Ngangkari. He got his Ngangkar from his Grandfather

02.01.2022 Aboriginal Elder, Aunty Lauraine Barlow, shares with us the beautiful mystical experience of two little boys dancing for the first time on country at Buddabadoo in Far North Queensland who are joined by the spirits of their ancestral 'Popeyes' (grandfathers). Aunty explains that ’Country’ is "the land, the animals, the place, the water, the sea, the people it’s all that in one; and it’s knowing that you fit in there"; and tells us about the Australian rainforest pygmies.

01.01.2022 You've got to remember that this is the tradition, this is the knowledge and Law. It's something that has been held onto which came from the days before there w...ere hospitals and other forms of doctors. We were responsible for looking after all the people. We have held onto that knowledge. (Rupert Peter, Ngangkari: 1941 - 2012) Photo of Ngangkari's Toby Ginger, Rupert Peter and Andy Tjilari (photo by ANGELA LYNCH) Source: Alice Springs News Online
