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.
