At CityHive we celebrate brave and impactful action through Aboriginal storytelling. As part of National Reconciliation Week (NRW), we hosted a coworkers morning tea and a unique storytelling experience.

Yamaji Arts in-house artist, Margaret Whitehurst – takes us on an enchanting journey of the emu in the sky – using VR goggles.
Margaret walks us though country, weaving the stories of her culture. She explains the cultural significance of the stars, how it communicates the seasons and guides the traditional hunting practices.
"Don't look for what is there, look for what is not there."

We were fortunate to have Gordon Gray, a Noongar man, Midwest Aboriginal Organisation Alliance (MAOA) chairperson, and CityHive coworker partaking in live storytelling. He yarned with us about dreamtime stories and special cultural sites around Bundiyarra.
The Pollinators team is grateful for the opportunity to be part of this unique experience.
United, we forge and strengthen the relationships with First Nations people and communities. Learning and sharing culture to understand history, amplifying Aboriginal voices and taking action towards a more connected future.
