22.01.2022 Embedded in ancient culture (60,000 years old), tjilirra are traditional tools such as shields, boomerangs and spears, tools of hunting, ceremony, Aboriginal Dreamtime, and Law that were confiscated under western law as weapons. #tjilirra #traditionaltools #CASSE #ShieldsForLivingToolsForLife #culturematters

21.01.2022 Japaljarri’s Vision began the conversation at our Two Way Working Working in the Heat professional development event. Dr Craig San Roque talking about Andrew Japaljarri Spencer’s original paintings as maps of intercultural dynamics. The one in this pic was painted on a on old blind, rolled out on the floor of Corkwood room at Desert Knowledge Australia, helping to facilitate two way learning.

20.01.2022 Robert and Nik arrived in Lajamanu after a three day marathon trip from Alice-due to the onset of the wet season the police advised them to stay on the bitumen! The hope is the delivery of four cultural camps! They had a surprise meeting with Liam Patrick one hour before Lajamanu at Top Springs- a great source of information!

20.01.2022 There is no deterrent to CASSE delivering camps on country including a broken trailer leaf spring! The CASSE bush mechanic team fixed it today!

19.01.2022 The two way working workshop in Alice Springs generated such rich, poignant, emotional thinking amongst workers at the frontline working in the intercultural space and racial divide. The CASSE team feel privileged to have been part of the conversation which moved through different emotional experiences of trauma. The room was packed! The vitality of spirit was palpable by the end of the day!

19.01.2022 Here are photos of youth making tjilirra on a Territory Families/Shields for Living Tools for Life cultural camp last week near Ltyentye Apurte working with Robert Hoosan. Great to see the youth paying close attention, happy and connected. Thanks to Dan from MacYouth - Macdonnell Regional Council Youth Services for your support.

17.01.2022 Shields for Living, Tools for Life on Lajamanu Country. Jerry Jangala, the traditional owner (runs the church as well), and his son Stephen, took about 15 youth from Wanta AC (coordinated by Simon) and CASSE to show how to make tools and spoke about the different tjilirra. The youth were new to this knowledge and somewhat shy. They did not know the names for the tools or how to make them. Jerry said the police confiscated the tools-as weapons a few years ago-post a big fight. He told the youth when they cut the tree they say sorry. The youth were very interested in the no 7. Jerry and the youth talked about the tools as potential gifts for special relatives. Very few elders live here and a large population of youth.

11.01.2022 Farewell to a great leader Today we honour Kwemenje Kantawara- a great leader of her people. Nik and Robert are able to farewell her this morning in Alice Springs and unfortunately Pamela is in lockdown in Victoria. Pamela remembers Kwemenje as a young (pretty) girl when she helped her on the Two Way Health Business research and they took a trip or two out to Wallace Rockhole. Kwemnje told Pamela that the questionnaires wouldn’t work and that people would not fill them out.... She was right! Then CASSE returned to central Australia and partnered with Congress when Kwemenje was Chair and there was a great partnership for a few years. Pamela remembers her as a great leader and advocate for her people. She had a great sense of humour too and she was also a great psychologist! Farewell

01.01.2022 Nik and Robert (in picture) arrived in Lajamanu late as the trip took 2.5 days going thru Katherine due to advice from the police on roads. They arrived very hot and dusty and tired... as the air con in Robert’s troopy broke down :( They are preparing to work with youth. In CASSE's Shields for Living Tools for Life program, Elders pass on their cultural knowledge to young people in process and in outcome.
