17.01.2022 The Sign Says It, by artist Richard Bell, AGSA. The MK team hopes that the Study will help Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people make decisions about health on their own terms and in their own cultural contexts. https://mkstudy.com.au/the-survey/ #ourculturescount
17.01.2022 We're loving the initiatives taken by mob to keep communities safe, like this Yumplatok translation of important COVID-19 health messaging. #ourculturescount
16.01.2022 You told us that 32% of you are familiar with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander words, phrases and songs. Now, in a Twitter first, participating First Nations peoples can share Tweets in diverse languages such as Pitjantjatjara, Yankunytjatjara, Erub Mer, and Adnyamathanha. #ourculturescount

15.01.2022 August is Family History Month, and we know how important family and connection are to you: "My Aboriginal culture is who I am and everything I am connected to. My family, my work, my self-identity and self-awareness. It is what provides me a sense of belonging." MK Study participant. Have a look at some of the stories shared by AIATSIS as they celebrate history and heritage. #ourculturescount
15.01.2022 DO YOU KNOW what the Mayi Kuwayu logo represents? The red ochre centre represents wellbeing through connection to country; the dots represent the non-linear Indigenous concept of time across the communities; and the blue band represents the interlocking connection of culture to wellbeing. #ourculturescount

09.01.2022 Is there a nicer way to acknowledge #WorldChildrensDay than a lollipop with your bestie? Today, the UN urges us to re-commit to children’s rights and putting children first.
