Episode 1. Country knows- kate harriden#
“I often say to people: concreting a stream is like putting your grandmother in a straitjacket. Do you want to put your grandmother in a straitjacket?”
Episode 2. Tjukurrpa is collective- Dr Elizabeth Marrkilyi Ellis#
“I’d like to see engineering students become able to listen to some of this knowledge that we’re giving to them, and develop a sense of inquisitiveness. To be curious and to learn more about Aboriginal people, about Aboriginal Country and about Aboriginal knowledges. Because in that way, it makes you a person who’s open to different ways of working.”
Episode 3. Kakadu 300- Ben Tyler#
“I just remember realising one day: why is it that if we want to work or study, we have to leave our community? How do we create a way of staying in our community?”
