ABSTRACT
This chapter suggests that authors' own explanation of knowledge-building and identification as an Indigenous person of Yawuru, Nyul-Nyul, and Jabirrjabirr heritage will assist one in understanding how knowledge-building occurs. The Yawuru people lived a hunting and gathering way of life, close to their land and within their clan countries, only meeting up with neighboring families and clans for ceremony or seasonal celebrations. The chapter discusses extensive clans and clan communities just like the Yolngu people of Arnhemland in the Northern Territories of Australia. It shares some insight into authors' perception of knowledge and provides an Indigenous woman's perspective on the way in which the author have participated in building such an Indigenous knowledge system. The chapter rediscovers the immeasurable value of wisdom traditions that are still relevant for our lives and for the future.
