    We’re all on our own unique journey of discovering knowledge and connection with country - luckily our Elders are here to guide us every step of the way. Listen deeply as Uncle Shane Charles - an academic, government advisor and proud Wurundjeri Boon Wurrung and Yorta Yorta man - yarns on the importance of Elders in our cultures, and how The Voice to Parliament can help pave the way towards reconciliation. It’s a truly inspired yarn - enjoy!


    Acknowledgement of country is delivered by Troy Firebrace, a proud Yorta Yorta and Dja Dja Wurrung artist and educator.


    Conversation is hosted by Simone Sexton, Bendigo Bank’s Inclusion specialist and proud Mununjali woman.

    There have been some powerful milestones reached for our cultures over the past few decades, and our Elders have been there every step of the way. Uncle Graham Atkinson, a Dja Dja Wurrung Traditional Owner and Yorta Yorta man, is a consultant to government and Indigenous communities and a real change-maker. He has plenty of knowledge to share on the importance of being proud of your culture and getting involved in the community, as the voice of Elders begins to grow louder.
