23.01.2022 How magical is Parrtjima? Can you believe we are already halfway through this year’s festival! Some of our highlights have included rousing performances by St...uart Joel Nuggett and Patsy Coleman Music. Thought-provoking conversations with journalists Tracy Holmes and Stan Grant and getting hands-on with watercolour painting and bush food cooking demonstrations with Black Olive Mark Olive and Rayleen Brown. With five more nights to go until the close of Parrtjima 2020, there’s heaps of entertainment and fun for all the family. Visit Alice Springs Desert Park and take in the wonder of the most dazzling MacDonnell Ranges light show, towering luminous displays, a glowing sphere, a four-metre tall flower, and animated artwork to enchant and delight. If you couldn’t make it this year, we will return in 2021 from 9-18 April. #Parrtjima

20.01.2022 I have been scrolling through my camera checking out all the photos. Recently have bombarded my socials with jewellery photos because haven’t really been anywhere just like everyone else and wasn’t sure what to post, we get told to keep posting so we stay on feeds hence the pics of jewellery all the time but decided I miss my scenery pics so hopefully will make my feeds a little more enjoyable.

19.01.2022 #Repost @tradingblak THIS!! Repost from @barefootwandering.photography ... Beautiful Aila photographed at golden hour with ochre sourced and applied by her father. NAIDOC may have came to a finish but it is incredibly important to continue to support our First Nation people every other day of the week. Support blak! It always was always will be Aboriginal people hold the oldest continuous living culture on Earth and are historically tradespeople. Yet it is only in recent years we have been given the legal right to trade in the Australian business space. Our businesses offer so much more than an economic transaction, there is also the opportunity for learning. Learn the cultural significance of living off and caring for the land you live on through Aboriginal tourism, discover the power of native plants and bush tucker through Aboriginal hospitality, realise the importance of storytelling to our people through an array of mediums such as art, photography and clothing. Determining an authentic Aboriginal business requires a conscious approach to business education, but the benefits to supporting those are tenfold. Supporting Aboriginal owned creates a black economy within community and increases self-determination. Supporting Aboriginal owned promotes equality. Supporting Aboriginal owned offers an opportunity for learning and self-growth. Aboriginal people have 80 000+ years of trade knowledge to share, let’s utilise that together. This Christmas remember to buy and support blak #firstnationphotographer #aboriginalphotography #aboriginalphotographer #canonaustralia @canonaustralia #midnorthcoastphotographer #aboriginalculture #portraitphotography #aboriginalownedbusiness #portraitphotography #naidoc2020 #alwayswasalwayswillbe

13.01.2022 It was fantastic being able to do a market in person- meeting new people and also seeing familiar faces. I must say I did feel absolute pride when I saw past customers with their jewellery on. Back to the grindstone JOKES absolutely love making jewellery. I would make jewellery even if I never sold a single piece. At the moment I am busy trying to get everyone’s online order out to them ASAP but did get a little busy last week. Hopefully everyone will receive their order ...shortly. I know I say it a bit but THANK YOU everyone for all your support every like, follow, share and sale keep me going keep my business relevant and keep my business growing. #aboriginalartist #aboriginalaustralia #jewellerywithmeaning #wearableart #indigenousmarket #supportblakbusiness

08.01.2022 TRIBAL AREAS ARE BASED ON AVAILABLE WATER Aboriginal population matched the carrying capacity of the land because Aboriginal people saw their primary mandate as... caring for the land and each other, their society was focused on the development of sophisticated technologies for land management, resource husbanding and population control. The structure of Aboriginal society also reflected these ecological considerations and eldership was attained not simply through age, but by demonstrated and accumulated merit in both religious and secular knowledge. There was therefore no division between church and state, because elders had to demonstrate a unified knowledge base as well as a communal approach to decision making. Through this blending of spiritual and secular authority in a system of eldership. Aboriginal society might be best described as a 'Druidic Meritocracy'. It was therefore a truly communalist society with no individual or specific group having control over resources. There was no individual accumulation of wealth or power and as a consequence there was conversely no accumulated poverty or disadvantage. there were no social class differences apart from the respect due to age and merit, and as indicated. decision making was by consensus rather than edict. All tribal areas were based on water catchment areas and the totemic system was utilised as a means of species conservation and land management.' The totem system therefore had a primary ecological purpose and all knowledge was integrated through the totem system to serve that primary ecological purpose. This ecological focus was achieved by the universal way in which the totem system was structured across Australia and in turn how this determined the structure of Aboriginal society itself. Aboriginal family kinship was therefore an integral part of their system of ecological relationship and control. Aboriginal people therefore saw human society as an interdependent part of the whole ecology and not separate from or holding dominion over it. For instance in all Aboriginal societies a Yin and Yang type of conceptual division existed, where every living and non living thing was divided between these two halves or 'moieties'. At the simplest level (and there were several ritual exceptions) this meant that an individual was not allowed to hunt or eat any of the animals in their own moiety. because they were his or her spirit cousins. In this way at least half the food sources were taboo to an individual and for instance it might mean you could eat wallaby but not grey kangaroo, or ring-tailed possum but not brush-tailed possum. As indicated, the totem system also governed marriage and family relationships and together with common male and female contraceptive practices, all tribes ensured that their population remained consistent with the natural carrying capacity of the land. This was however not just the carrying capacity of the land in a good or average year, but in the worst of years. For Aboriginal people abundance was the norm.' These land management and population control practices therefore meant that prior to British settlement in 1788 Aboriginal people in Australia enjoyed the highest common standard of living of any people in the world.

07.01.2022 I live close by to a nest of tawny frog mouths. I can’t help but like them despite the Noongar meaning associated with them. A few years back we rescued a baby ...that had fallen from its nest. Here is a pic from today of a tawny resident next door and also the Noongar yarn about the ... Harbinger of doom. ‘When the Noongar people heard the deep eerie call of the dreaded Gubulgari after dark they knew that somebody among them was about to die. The magical birds could turn into wood and talk to the spirits of the night, and the only way to counter their curse was to either kill and burn them or drive them away from the camp with smoke and incantations. Today this harbinger of doom is known as the tawny frogmouth.’ (Story published by P. Hancock, 2014)
