Creation Stories

Creation Stories are embedded within the Dreamtime and handed down by our Ancestors. They lay down the lore and tell us how or why everything was created. They teach us what is sacred, important and why ceremonies and traditions exist.

Creation Stories are our Dreaming Stories; the creation of everything.

We used the earth as a form of natural hieroglyphics

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.
