Women’s & Men's Business

In our culture, gender determines what roles, jobs, ceremony and dance we participate in. Men and Women’s business ensures equity, continuation of knowledge and Lore.

The ceremonies and traditions each gender participates in.

The final say was always the grandmother's law.

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.
