National Talk Black 100724
On todays National Talk Black via NIRS – National Indigenous Radio Service we have:
Aunty Munya Andrews and Carla Rogers, Co-directors of Evolve Communities, talking about NAIDOC Week and the role of allies. Aunty Munya Andrews and Carla Rogers are the co-directors of Evolve Communities, winners of the prestigious 2024 Telstra Best of Business Award for Building Communities, which recognised their exceptional efforts in fostering unity and understanding between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. Aunty Munya and Carla shed light on how non-Indigenous people can actively support and advocate for the rights of First Nations peoples.
Kiah Morgan and Ryan Kucirek, Senior drone operator and Chief drone pilot, talking about Indigenous rangers from Quandamooka Yoolooburrabee Aboriginal Corporation (QYAC) are combining drones and Artificial Intelligence with ancient Knowledge to save a unique population of koalas from the wildfires that could wipe them out. By knowing koala locations, rangers can plan burns to minimise risk to the iconic marsupials. Precautions include watering down vegetation around koala-occupied trees and even having water bomber aircraft on standby for big operations.
Associate Professor Kevin Lowe, Lead Investigator on the Culturally Nourishing Schooling project (CNS), talking about From Country to the classroom: building relationships that empower teachers, students and communities. Research finds taking teachers onto Country can improve schooling for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. The Culturally Nourishing Schooling project (CNS) engages teachers, school leaders, local Aboriginal Cultural Mentors and community members through strategies designed to develop teacher confidence and improve educational engagement of Aboriginal students.
