Storytelling of our estuarine lakes catchment and culture

8/23/2015

0 Comments

 
The Tuggerah Lakes are an important estuarine lake/lagoon system, home to an abundance of flora, fauna with important indigenous cultural sites and history. It's worth taking the time to understand more about the interconnections of the creatures that live in our lakes and their dependence on our roles as active, engaged custodians of the landscape they depend on. 

Wyong Shire Council, as part of the Caring for Our Country initiative, have produced a great Love our Living Lakes resource to help describe the ecology and interdependencies that exist within the lakes. 
One of the many videos produced in the See and Learn series to understand your Lake systems in more detail.

During the leadup to Lumen Motion on 7November 2015, take the time to explore the Love Our Living Lakes site and have a think about how you might like to weave some storytelling into your work, help us tell the story of the Lake and its creatures. 

Whether it be creating a seahorse light sculpture, or creating a costume that embodies the spirit of one of our beautiful feathered fauna, your contributions are going to be welcomed.

Caring for Country - Indigenous history

Take the time to also explore and discover the indigenous history and importance of the Lakes - we'll be providing some more materials in our coming blog-posts but here's a taster, with local representative Gavi Duncan telling some of the local stories of important cultural sites as part of Reconciliation Weeks Catchment Crawl. 
Our understanding of a  place is always enriched when you hear how it's viewed through indigenous eyes, take the time to explore its history and importance through others eyes. Our work in indigenous health settings at Laughing Mind and connection to peers at Culture Is Life has helped us understand why Connection to Country is important and helps sustain positive culture and health.
