Preserving Living Libraries - NAIDOC Week
During NAIDOC Week the Aboriginal Ageing Well Research team at The University of Western Australia (with the support of RPH Research Foundation) focuses on a tough subject: Dementia.
Early illness means losing stories, information, and teachings which are essential to Aboriginal Culture. Elders are essential to Aboriginal communities. This short film explores the challenges dementia creates within Indigenous Communities and looks at the pathway forward. Australia has the oldest oral history and stories in the world. They must not be lost. Always Was, Always Will Be.
