National Talkblack 260922

We had:

Allan Mckenzie, Aboriginal artist, talking about the coffin he painted using vibrant dot-painting techniques. When a really dear friend of Allan lost his son, one of the comforting things Allan could give back to him as a gift from his spiritual side of his connection to his son, was to paint his casket, Allan said.

Paul Williams, Charles Darwin UniversityMaritime Training Coordinator and Lecturer, talking about marine rangers take hands-on training in fisheries compliance. First Nations rangers from across the Top End are learning valuable and practical skills as they are trained to become certified in fisheries compliance, through a course providing meaningful training and career pathways.
