My Families are First story and activity book was developed as a resource for children and families to have some fun together and celebrate Indigenous culture in Queensland.
The activities and content in the activity book come from lots of different mob from different parts of Australia, so we have written the book in ‘the first person’ so it’s like we are talking to you through one voice. This goes to the heart of the iniative, where conversations and storytelling are the focus.
Another deadly resource is the Yarn Up cards. They were developed by the Garbutt Community Centre’s Tiddas Yarning Circle. They are a resource made up of powerful statements about culture, strength, identity, hope, family, obligations and responsibility.v
