Looking after country takes on many forms and translating field work and native botanical identification into visual art is part of this process and a highly effective means of retaining information.

Part of Nyanda’s recent ‘Yagara On-Country Learning Project’ with arts facilitator .crosswell. Such a wonderful and therapeutic day.

What a beautiful day shared between Yagara women and arts facilitator and scientific illustrator .crosswell.

Nicole guided students through several art styles as part of Nyanda’s ‘Yagara On-Country Learning Project’, specialising in the identification and recording of Yagara native botanical species.

Stay tuned! We can’t wait to show you some of the results!

Congratulations to Katherine Sullivan and Glenda Harward-Nalder for their contribution to Yagara language revitalisation with the release of their ‘Yagara Dictionary and Salvage Grammar’ 🥰

Language revitalisation is a long, but highly rewarding journey.

‘A Library of Country’

You may have heard of scar trees, but how about trees-in-trees? These different types of "modified trees" tell a story about Indigenous culture, if you know how to read them.

Nyanda was proud to assist Economic Development Queensland in developing its Traditional Owner Engagement Protocol for the Northshore Priority Development Area.

The creation and implementation of the protocol is a demonstration of best practise engagement and a model to be aspired to and upheld in both government and private enterprise.

“The Protocol serves as a guide to ensure that EDQ staff meaningfully engage with Traditional Owners, establishing principles around the best processes for listening, learning, developing relationships and helping Traditional Owner families build capacity throughout the precinct’s development.”

Did you know that this binkin (freshwater turtle) lends its name to the word binkinba or Pinkenbah a local Yagara language word for the place of the freshwater turtle? 🐢 New Farm was originally called Binkinba by traditional custodians.
This binkin is one of the many residents of the Nar-dah Nudgee Waterhole Reserve coming up to say hi and see what we’re doing!

The recent rains have made our pink lime berries (Glycosmis Trifoliata) nice and juicy 😋
These ones are pretty easy to propagate with a bit of TLC 😍

An extraordinary map has been created to record Noongar place names of significant Perth locations and how people lived on the land prior to colonisation.

Last week it was wonderful having the children participate in our native vegetation identification workshop as part of Nyanda’s Yagara On-Country Learning Project.
We worked with botanist Lorna Ngugi who is doing her PhD in native bushfoods.
It was a very hot day, but we all learnt so much!

A very informative read concerning black cladding, how it is hurting mob and authentic black businesses.

To qualify as an Indigenous business, an organisation needs to be minimum 51 per cent Aboriginal-owned or controlled. Some say this isn't enough and that the system is being gamed.
