“Look at where greed has taken us and severed our relationship with nature.”
Dr. Anne Poelina is a Nyikina Warrwa Traditional Custodian from the Mardoowarra, lower Fitzroy River, in Western Australia. An adjunct Senior Research Fellow at the Nulungu Research Institute at the University of Notre Dame, Dr. Poelina works on issues of environmental and cultural protection in the Kimberly region of Western Australia.
part of the project: ROOTED MESSAGES
In the beginning of the pandemic when the world was standing still we felt that it was time to go back to our roots.
Indigenous peoples from around our planet have managed to preserve the memory of our origins - timeless wisdom forgotten by many.
We found 16 indigenous wisdom keepers from around the world.
Unable to travel, we interviewed them using the internet.
We asked them their answer to the question:
‘What does the world need to hear right now?’
This resulted in 16 unique video messages all touching our hearts. We are passionate about sharing their wisdom as broadly as possible and plant seeds to live together in a more connected way; with ourselves, each other and the Earth.

Anne, when you said "I am from the river, I am of the river, and the river owns me" it sent cold shivers down my spine that I still have an hour later. Your message is very powerful and I will do my best to spread your words to where it needs to be heard. Thank you.

Thank you for your message. I wish your message could spread more around the world. We (especially western) people need to live closer by the nature and we need to understand We are nature
