On Saturday morning, March 28, Uncle Max and Dr Josephs will take a "Walk and Talk" along Monkittee Creek. This session for adults will be a sharing of what is present in the landscape at that particular moment, profoundly enriching the sense of place and history expressed with creativity and an intention of "walking together". It is hoped that there will be an indigenous and non-indigenous deepening of understanding of the land, "our Mother", as Uncle Max expresses it.

Storytelling is an integral part of the lives of indigenous Australians. The stories tell of the history and culture or "the ways" of the people, handed down since the beginning of time. It is vital that these stories are passed on and kept alive for younger generations. There are so many aspects of Aboriginal ways and culture throughout Australia that are untold and unwritten.

Dr Josephs has written: "The Indigenous way of seeing the world has deep importance in a world where even our own Australian history with Indigenous people is contested, where we need to be more in tune with the environment and the subtle and powerful forces that interlink all forms of life."

Members of the Two Fires Committee hope that many of you will join Uncle Max Harrison and Dr Caroline Josephs for this enlightening "Walk and Talk". Please visit the website www.twofiresfestival.org for more festival information and news.
