Communication

Our people communicate in a wide range of ways. This includes signs, body language and smoke signals. Another form of communication is messengers, which can be people or animals that pass messages to each other or from our Ancestors.

Our diverse ways of communicating.

They come and visit you before they go into the Dreamtime.

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.
