AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'History, religion, environmental knowledge, and law are woven, bound, and connected in the stories that have passed from generation to generation. They change and move subtlety as the times do. The past and future always echo in the present tense.

'Join this family of storytellers – Uncle Larry WalshVictoria MorphyHannah Morphy-Walsh, and Isobel Morphy-Walsh – as they weave creation, song, story, and movement together to tell the big stories that travel through the generations. You know the ones. Today we are descendants using our history, connections, and worldview as guides. But tomorrow we will be ancestors being reinterpreted and told anew.

'Hear songs of healing, see harvest through dance, hear of the platypus and how he connects to the spent criminal conviction act and the stolen generation, hear words of weavers!'
