Identity & Belonging

Identity and belonging is how we connect to each other. There are a wide range of systems and beliefs through kinship, totems, language, and Yuin Country that define our relationships.

How Yuin people belong and connect to each other.

It goes through your mind and your body and inside your heart.

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.
