Community Life

For Yuin Peoples, community life encompasses cultural practices like hunting and gathering for food and resources, construction of accessories, tools and clothing, gendered garments and trade relations with both other Aboriginal groups and settlers.

Community stories about people and places in modern times.

Many roads today are of those old trading routes.

Welcome to the Yuin Digital Keeping Place. This website is intended to record and share information on events and people that have impacted on Yuin history, language and lifestyle. Over the coming years, we plan to keep improving and updating this website so that it can include an even wider and richer collection of stories from Yuin Families. We, the Yuin DKP Project Working Group, understand that language is living, and acknowledge that different spellings have been used throughout history. For this project, we've agreed to use the language spellings Dhurga, Djiringandj, and Dhawa. We invite the Yuin and wider community to explore and learn from this Digital Keeping Place.
