Gender Responsibility Country: How Aboriginal People Define Their Role in Caring for the Universe
摘要
This chapter presents the results of my research on playing a role in restoring the narrative relating to the reciprocal and integral role of the Three Creation phases of certain Ancestors in Aboriginal Oral Systems. It is to ensure voices of Aboriginal peoples Creation Ancestors voice is living again in Wiradyuri universal places. Places where, due to the banning of our handing down or telling of our Ceremonial knowledge for many generations by the white men, much of these teachings and wisdom have been erased. The Western System’s way of mapping since 1788, is flawed, according to Aboriginal people, because it obscures the purpose and bloodlines of place. Aboriginal people use songs and dance to know where their responsibility to Country is located, revealing unique sound codes via ceremonial areas, memory language, sign posting, and inherited bloodline connection that continues today in 2025. In my people’s Aboriginal transformative worldview, emphasis is placed on changing individuals’ lives and reducing the impact of issues affecting them.
