Intro

Thanks so much Lark for you welcome and for the wonderful input you provided on the tribal art post.

Waalawanni AJ - as you may have read I belong to the Dharug nation of NSW - I am Dharug / Gundangurra descent, Gundangurra is arguably part of the Dharug country, and Kuringgai is also on Dharug country which has powerful spirit (Byamee) - a small world as they say - it a true pleasure to meet you and the information you provided on the tribal item is certainly appreciated. I now have a good start on establishing a profile for my curio.

In a manner of exchange I work for the NSW State Government and a large part of my role is providing Aboriginal cultural information and advice on it's aesthetics - please keep me in mind as an Aboriginal cultural resource, where I can be available if needed to contribute to any cultural matters that may come to your attention.

I have a broad Aboriginal network (grapevine) so if it's something I don't know, there's someone on that vine that most likely would.

With best regards Mark,

 

Thanks so much for your kind welcome Bakersgma

Hi Robert thank you so much for you kind welcome mudjin - (friend)

 

I certainly felt that, even at an early age.
I am part Indonesian, and grew up in the Kejawen spiritual tradition, which is open to many forms and levels of spirituality and spiritual presence.

That is wonderful, Mark.
I am so glad that there is more respect for, and interest in, indigenous culture from authorities than when I lived there in the 70s. May it continue to grow.

Certainly will.

 

Welcome!
