More than just a place: What it means to live in the Homelands
For Yolŋu people, the homelands are more than just a place to live, they are a way of life, deeply connected to country, culture, and identity. While living on country offers a sense of belonging that town life cannot replace, it also comes with challenges - from rough roads and deteriorating houses to unreliable essential services. In this episode, Dr Sarah Hanieh speaks with Margaret Dhorrpuy Munyarryun, who calls the homeland community of Dhambala home. She shares the realities of life in the homelands, the resilience it takes to stay, and why teaching young children about identity and connection is more important than ever.
