Indigenous to Life with Anne Poelina

In this episode, Josie and Daniel are joined by Professor Anne Poelina, Co-Chair of Indigenous Studies at the University of Notre Dame and a Nyikina Warrwa Indigenous woman from the Kimberley Region of Western Australia.

Regeneration is often positioned as a recent development in sustainable practice, but the principles that underpin this approach – connecting with place and living in harmony with natural systems – have been woven through cultures and wisdom traditions since the dawn of human history. In this episode, Josie and Daniel yarn with Dr Anne Poelina, a Nyikina Warrwa Traditional Owner and guardian of the Mardoowarra, Lower Fitzroy River in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.
