24.01.2022 The Miriam Rose Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation working to empower Indigenous youth through education, art, culture, and opportunity in the communit...y of Daly River (Nauiyu) NT. We want to thank you for the generous donations that you make to the Foundation, and particularly wish to acknowledge the very kind donation of a GoPro which is now being used by the youth in Nauiyu to create short films at the newly established IT Hub. This is one of the first video's produced during the recent holiday program. It is a co-production using Wayne Quilan photos and the GoPro footage taken by the youth. This was edited together by 15 yo Leighton Jimarean. We would also like to acknowledge the support of Culture Connect and the Nauiyu Nambia Community Store Thank you again for all your support, and please watch this space for more short films in the future.
24.01.2022 The Miriam Rose Foundation ask for your help in bringing the final stage of this beautiful film to actualization. With no funding to make this film, this is a true 'gift to the nation'. For some past Cultural Connection Tour participants, you may just find yourself in this film and for those who would like to come.....this is a beautiful invitation...... If you have the means to donate...please click on the link below.... Many thanks Mamak (translation....see you)
17.01.2022 An Easter message from Miriam :)
17.01.2022 Earlier this year, the MRF received a call from Amy Berridge from Melbourne. She had been inspired by posts on facebook of the work being done in the community ...of Nauiyu, Daly River, Miriam Rose Ungunmerr Baumann and her film on Dadirri and the work of the Miriam Rose Foundation. "How can we support you?"she asked. To be honest, we get asked this alot and the thing is...... we need financial support. Our community have the ideas, have the vision, know what needs done to create positive change and opportunity in the communities.... just not necessary the funds to take the next steps. Amy heard this, not only did she donate personally but she then also made The Miriam Rose Foundation the recipient of a fundraising Gala Ball that was being held in Melbourne in October. Celebrating 100 years of Steiner education, it is an honour that Childrens Garden Kindercare chose the MRF to be supported - with a focus on the Daly River community creating opportunities for youth through art, culture, education and opportunity. And what an opportunity for two of the MRF communities young men to travel down to Melbourne to attend the event. Troy Mulvien Mardigan and Dylan Kurt Minggun did the foundation proud as they spoke on behalf of the community and shared cultural songs and story with the community in Melbourne. Connections have been made and we look forward to staying in contact. Thank you so much for your support Amy and to all the team and your family that worked to raise money for our community up here in the NT. A hugely heart warming and validating response to our call out for how to be supported. Mamak See more

Family connecting, talking up the important songline dances of the Wanga and how this reconnection of corroboree for healing will take place in Katherine on the 8th February at the Godinymayin Yijard Rivers Culture Centre. This is a beautiful, powerful story that was planted years ago, with the intent to ‘Wake ‘em Up’ through traditional dance and culture. Bringing back the dances of corroborree. Creating deeper connection and belonging through dance and song. Teaching young people, Honouring those that have held vision like the late Balang Lewis and our Elders bringing this forward like Miriam Rose Ungunmeer Baumann, Lisa Mumbin and Lazarus Manbulloo as well as our Banatjarl Women Elders for calling this in to action!

08.01.2022 "On this sorry day we remember loss. The loss experienced by children who were taken from their mothers to places a long way from their country and culture to a... place where there was no family. The loss of those of us left behind when our little sisters and brothers went from our lives to a life without us. It is good to remember and feel the weight of that loss. To hear the cries of that sadness. To listen, listen deeply to the crying. The crying of the child within us. The crying because we were not here. Listen to that sadness. Listen deeply with your whole self. We need to feel that sadness. Just feel it and let it hang. All Australians need to feel that sadness and to know that that sadness should never happen again. All Australians need to feel that sadness and let it hang. Just sit and listen to it. If we listen deeply it will teach us. We will learn from that crying, that sadness if we listen deeply. Let it form a big teardrop. Let the teardrops fall into the River and onto the ground. Let that sadness fall into the River and on to the ground and flow with water. Let it become something that nourishes us as a Nation and helps us grow to be wiser and stronger. Breath deeply and let that sadness rush to the parched lands of bitterness and regret. Let it flow and feed a better country where we are all valued and loved. Listen, listen deeply to new hope that springs from the seeds of wisdom nourished by that sadness. Wisdom that we should never again make decisions without listening deeply to each other. Without listening deeply to ourselves." Elder Miriam-Rose Ungunmerr See more

07.01.2022 We are all part of the story... and when one community suffers, when one part of our country is hurting through fires or floods we are all affected. How do we... move forward? By listening to each other... Across our nation we have experienced a very somber start to the new year. The beginning of a new decade marked by fire, loss of life and homes, and our great land and eco-systems severely damaged. The impacts on our wildlife will take a long time for us to truly understand the level of this devastation. While we shed tears of sadness for our communities and our country we also share a message that is calling us to reflect and to listen more deeply during this time. Yesterday this national Australia Day campaign was launched, a campaign which Miriam is a part of, calling Australians to unite and to listen to eachother. Now more than ever this message needs to be heard. Over the coming hours, days, weeks and months ahead we need to come together in community united for the future of our country. To listen to traditional ways that this land was cared for by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’s for thousands and thousands of years. To listen and learn from each other so we can walk together and move through this crisis, to unite and return back into rhythm with nature. Dadirri reminds us of this and is calling to us now... please listen and feel into your deep inner spring today and the days that follow and know you are not alone, that we are sending you our love, and we walk with you during this time. https://www.australiaday.org.au

05.01.2022 MRF AGM this Sat!
04.01.2022 We are very excited to announce that our very own MRF Co Vice Chair, Troy Madigan, has been nominated for an NT Young Achiever Award. This NT Government excelle...nce in youth leadership award holds much esteem as I’m sure you know. Such nominations are to honour young people showing strong leadership ability, being able to think creatively and decisively. For youths who help motivate and inspire others to aim high, whether that be in business, commerce and the community. Effective young leaders who are emerging by displaying initiative, innovation and a commitment to excellence. Their positive approach to life and contributions to society are a credit to themselves and their families. Such young people deserve to be recognised , honoured and encouraged. The Miriam Rose Foundation has focus on supporting youth and we are very fortunate to have young people from Daly River stepping up in 2020 into board leadership roles and in the development of the foundation and social enterprises. We are extremely proud for the efforts our young people are putting in to walk with the Elders and be mentored into such important leadership roles. Troy has successfully gone through to the semi finals which will be judged on the 12th February. We are proud of Troy’s nomination and wish him all the best. See more
