This project aims to overcome persistent narratives of loss and despair with regards to Aboriginal cultures within urban and metropolitan communities today. Storytelling is an essential means of knowledge transmission that ensures the survival of diverse Indigenous knowledge, however colonial storytelling has removed the Stories from Country, their peoples, and the important lessons within them. The project will reciprocally engage with the oral histories of D’harawal Elders that engage with Garuwanga Waduguda (Ancestral Laws) and Narinya Wadugua (Living Laws) to emancipate representations of D’harawal’s knowledge from dominant colonial-storytelling narratives that largely speak of assimilation, cultural loss and extinction. The project will assist in revitalisation and respect of Aboriginal identities and knowledge within urban communities.

这一项目旨在克服当今城市和大都市社区中有关土著文化的持续失落和绝望的叙述。讲故事是确保各种土著知识得以生存的基本知识传播手段，然而，殖民讲故事剥夺了国家和人民的故事以及其中的重要经验教训。该项目将与达哈拉瓦尔长老的口述历史相互联系，这些长老与Garuwanga Waduguda(祖传法律)和Narinya Wadugua(活法律)接触，将达哈拉瓦尔知识的表现从主要谈论同化、文化丧失和灭绝的殖民故事叙事中解放出来。该项目将有助于振兴和尊重城市社区内的土著特性和知识。
