- Description
- The one thing that all Australians, or people living in Australia, have in common is that they walk in Aboriginal Countrys every day. Countrys that, when respected, seen and read appropriately, when listened to and heard, when felt, teach us about our interconnectedness to everything around us. In this chapter, where we craft and use a notation that is reflective of Australian Indigenous Knowings, we Story the power of reflective practice when engaging with how we live in Country. Reflection is an ancient wisdom inherent in Indigenous Knowings. Our reflective practice embraces our connections with the world, our ability to live as part of the world, rather than distinct from it. Our world and our world view privileges Indigenous Knowings showcased here through the construct of Lilyology. In this chapter we Story our shared experiences as Aboriginal practitioners, as Aboriginal academics engaging with pre-service teachers in Australia, in the hope that we can respond to the question “How can we speak to those non-Indigenous people who are only beginning to understand Australian Indigenous concepts of Country?
