Walking forward with tradition: A Yolŋu young leader bridging two worlds
What does leadership look like for the next generation? And how does a young Yolŋu woman imagine the future? Growing up in Galiwin'ku, Zelda has learned to navigate these questions firsthand. Grounded in culture and community, she also faces the realities of a fast-changing world. In this episode, Sarah and Zelda talk about the role of young leaders in shaping the future of Galiwin'ku. She shares her thoughts on the importance of cultural knowledge, the impact of social media on the next generation, and why it's more important than ever for young Yolŋu to step up as leaders. We have to get a lot of young people, young role models to jump out and speak out. We have to get the young people to represent. We have to stand for our rights, and for our community, and our people.

More than medicine: A different view of health
For Yolŋu people, true wellbeing is inseparable from land, kinship, and spiritual balance. Unlike Western medicine, which often focuses on physical symptoms, Yolŋu healing traditions view health holistically-through connection to country, ancestors, and community. For Yolngu, health is more than being alive. It's making sure that we look after spirituality, look after the connection that we have, with our community, with our family. Marcus Lacey This episode explores Yolŋu perspectives on health and healing, where nature, community, and spirituality play just as vital a role as physical care. Marcus Lacey discusses the role of country in maintaining wellbeing, the importance of understanding and respecting the land as a source of healing, and the challenges of balancing traditional healing with modern healthcare. But as life in Galiwin'ku continues to change, how can Yolŋu health traditions continue to thrive? And what can we all learn from a different way of thinking about health?
