25.01.2022 Nirramayamangarrmiya with Pius Tipungwuti, Arinkuwula (Stone), Jarrangini (Buffalo), Wurankuwu. Over the past year Jilamara has had support from the Northern Territory Government to run Mens Cultural Mentoring through the art centre. With sharing and keeping culture strong for health and wellbeing at the centre of this project, many of the young men at Milikapiti have enjoyed workshops in spear making, bark stripping and tunga making, going out on country to collect materials, hunting, fishing, ornament making and yoyi (dance). Here are some ideas and advice from a few of the senior leaders of this project to help us all get through the challenging moments that are part of everyones life experience.
