Abstract
ABSTRACT We invite you to join us to dig Garlaany, pipis, at Middle Head Beach, a place where Ngambaa and Gumbaynggirr Countries come together on the mid-north coast of so-called NSW, Australia. Here, digging Garlaany is a Country-led practice that brings rich embodied meaning to the re-creation of Gumbaynggirr Ngambaa knowledge. As agential beings living on stolen land, Garlaany continue to call, shift, and teach those who listen, about how knowledge is co-created through a more-than-human relationality in/as place, in/as time. Yet, what do we mean by Country-led? How might we practice it, as a collective of Gumbaynggirr and non-Gumbaynggirr people working together on stolen Aboriginal land? In this paper, we aim to articulate some of the complexities of what Country-led means for us as Yandaarra, an intercultural research collaboration whose research practice is informed by Gumbaynggirr Ngambaa Country. We invite you to join us digging Garlaany. Our digging together is offered both as part of our methodology and as a lived reality – how we come into being together through Country-led practices in our research. In this place and at this time, our togetherness at Middle Head Beach is held by Gumbaynggirr Ngambaa Country and its Custodians, who share with us the old ways to help us to something new, re-learning and remembering as healing relationships, as Yandaarra.
