10.01.2022 NAIDOC Week Snakes and aboriginal indigenous culture share some great dream time stories. Do you know how the Murray River was made? Bpangerang stories, go something a little like this:... One day an old woman was walking with her three dingoes. She was looking for grubs and berries. She walked a long way over hills and mountains, through forests and bushland and across a flat and waterless plain. Do you know what she did? As she walked she dragged her digging stick behind her. The stick dragged and scratched, dragged and scratched, making a track along the ground. Nearby there was Toonatpan, a big snake of many colours sleeping in the hills. The sound of the digging stick woke Toonatpan up and he came down the hills slithering and sliding. He was very angry! He thrashed to and fro deepening the track made by the old woman. His movements carved out a wide riverbed. Soon after, it rained and rained creating a river that was long, deep and wide. And that’s how the Murray River was made, stretching all the way to the sea. Listen to the sound of the sea and you may hear the voice of the old woman as she sings in her sleep. If you'd like to find out more about the traditional owners of the land head over to http://www.murrayriver.com.au/abo/murray-river-aboriginals/ or find out more about Naidoc Week activities happening this week https://bit.ly/366unNr #Iamfederation #FederationYouthCouncil #havefun #stayconnected #NAIDOCweek

09.01.2022 NAIDOC Week Do you know how inland Pelican's came about in Bpangerang dream times? The Dreamtime Story tells of a young Bpangerang man during a great drought who walked to the ocean in search of food.... He smeared the front of his body with white clay mixed with fat so he could sneak up on fish, but could not reach his back. He couldn't carry all the fish & swim freely so he made himself a skin pouch & fixed it beneath his chin. Byamee the creator was watching one day when Bobbinaworra was surrounded by sharks & about to be eaten, so he turned him into a bird to save his life. He was in such shock that he flew back to the safety of the waterways of his homeland where he is still found fishing today Head over and hear Bpangerang Elder, Uncle Freddie tell us the story https://youtu.be/1C1jrP3ZcM8 #Iamfederation #FederationYouthCouncil #havefun #stayconnected #NAIDOCweek
