"We, in terms of Indigenous people, come from a holistic society. We don't come from a dichotomous society that cuts everything out. So land, water, people, environment, and non-human kin are all intrinsically entwined because they make up what we say the balance and the peace and the harmony for good life."
In this episode, we sit down with Prof. Anne Poelina, a Nyikina Warrwa woman from the Kimberley region of Western Australia — a community leader, filmmaker, and advocate for human and earth rights.
Prof. Poelina shares powerful insights into how Indigenous wisdom and modern science can come together to guide us toward a more harmonious relationship with the Earth. We explore the deep connections between culture, consciousness, and environmental stewardship, and discuss how collective action and community can shape a sustainable future.
Tune in for an inspiring conversation that will expand your perspective on what it means to care for Country — and for one another.
